    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Problem SparenFX

I am having an issue with a company
I hope you guys will take my advice seriously and get your money back. Don't sit there and do nothing. You need to pay this guy a visit, that would be the best investment you could do right now, otherwise you will never see a dime of your money again. Are you going to let him get away with stealing your hard earned money? That is the question you need to ask yourself. Go and get your money back right now.
 
I have tracked him down and have pictures of him here and can give them to anyone that wants. I have his passport and contacts in the Caribbean in case he tries to flee. He is not getting away with this and is quickly running out of time. People want their full balance returned immediately or this is going to get ugly for you Mark.
 
Sparen FX Update

Hi Folks,

Given not one person contacted me to take me up on my offer of passing over Mark Rices passport (or to join the group effort with the asset recovery specialist), and that Mark Rice ignored my demands:

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=t6b8df&s=7

Yes................if you'd seen this first you'd never have invested. What a dodgy looking character.

Unsure if Peter Krause is an alias for Mark Rice, or another cohort. pkrause@sparenfx.com
Same with " Mia Z". mia_z@sparenfx.com

Please does anyone have address detail of Mark Rice or any of his cohorts or family? Pass them over to me if you dont feel up to posting it yourself, I have no such reservations. I'll also hand them over to anyone who needs them for the reason of a 1-1 type visit..........which is likely the only way any form of justice will get done.

To all the folks reading this and hoping this will turn out ok - get a reality check and start acting in a manner congruent with you have being taken to the cleaners (with the perp giving you the finger along the way).

At least submit your compaints to the relevent authorities for what good their limp wristed actions might achieve. (and if someone has the correct details I'm sure all reading this would appreciate them being posted here)

Hi Mario

Thanks - I did a search and found the same document

http://www.junkfax.org/fax/profiles/wsp/SEC/71_OehmkeWitnessList.pdf

For those that missed it: 2618 Fairway Drive, Sugarland, Texas, 77478

Yes, I agree Mario, at the least a vist will be required. Unfortunately I dont live in the states, but was hoping that maybe some one else may be (un)kind enough to do the needful.

I'm open to being contacted by anyone that may be able to provide the needful contractual services in the states, and I'll pay ;) Confidentially assured and I'll pay to an offshore account:

sparen-scam@hush.com

If anyone else has the balls to support this path, feel welcome to ping me at the above email addy.

To AthenaFX - what the heck are you talking about - I suggest you have a read of what this thread is about (the Sparen FX scam), you've come in and posted things that have absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

Hopefully the moderator reads and deletes your posts, they have no place here.

Regards, Adam
 
Sparen scam - police contact

Hi Folks,

Having been involved with this before - I cant emphasize enough at the important at making this well know to authorities ASAP - you never know, they just might be able to do something and to presume otherwise is to accept total defeat now.

You've lost your money - now, at least don't make it easy for Mark.

This is an email I just sent to the Texas ranger Police department in Sugar, Texas (where Mark has an address). I tend to think the police are better to deal with this versus the limp wristed CFTC or NFA - this is crime not a regulatory matter - but the CFTC and NFA will be next port of call for me.

=======================================================
# TEL: 281.ASK-CITY (275-2489)
# FAX: 281.275.2721
askcity@sugarlandtx.gov

To Whom it may concern:

I wish to report a crime.

It involves Mark Edward Rice.

Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting this is his passport.

This is the address I could find:

2618 Fairway Drive, Sugarland, Texas, 77478

This fellow is the head guy behind Sparen FX Peter or Paul Krause and Mia Z is either an alias, or an accomplice.

I have a colleague that's sent about 3 million of client funds his way, and he says he knows an intitional investor that has 15 million with Sparen FX. I have clients with funds in excess 200k there.

The short story is that the company isnt honouring withdrawal request and hasnt done for months and is not providing any explanation that make sense or are even consistent - its a classic Ponzi - which I assume you understand the term.

Mark is savvy and works through offshore structure and offshore banking accounts.

Unfortunately this isnt a new experience for me.

If you do a google search using the term Sparen FX Scam you will quickly find plenty of claims from folks who havent been paid.

I'll be posting the details of your branch at the Forex peace Army website with a suggestion that folks contact you directly to report this crime, in the hope that you guys can do something to bring this fellow to justice for the crimes he's committing now.

Please can you tender details of the person to whom I should be dealing with.

Kind Regards,

Adam Liddiard

Also waiting for my remaining funds from sparen

I have opened my account with Sparen in April 2010 and it was traded by a few greedy banktraders which got margincalled in November 2010. I have decided to leave the account open and put more funds in it later.
Unfortunately Sparen has in the meantime decided to end the retail business, so I mailed them several times and finally got a AccountClosure form which I have filled in and returned to retail_end_2011@sparenfx.com on 13th August 2011, but so far have not heared from them.
 
rice

If anyone visits him, could you share with us what happened?
I'd really like to visit him myself but I live outside the US and no longer have the financial capacity to fly over there.
Even though I think Mark will have probably switched residence as everybody is after him................
 
Force team

Guys, I find Alan's proposal a great one. I believe it is the only way of getting our money back (some at least - It can't be that Mark has lost all of it).

EVERYONE interested, send an email to: sparen-scam@hush.com

We need to combine forces and hire someone to help us with the dirty work.

We could start a thread there, and share more info about how to proceed. Try
to share this with as many other Sparen clients as you can. If many join, the cost will be split better.
