Thomas911 has been dishonorably discharged from the Forex Peace Army.
Thomas911 appears to have been trying to get money from FPA members using private conversations with people reporting being scammed.
The conversations varied. In most, he'd report losing money to the same company. He'd then tell a story. Sometimes he hired a private investigator. Sometimes it was a lawyer. He'd ask each FPA member to contact him by email.
I now have reports that he was making referrals to some sort of lawyer or paralegal. I don't know if this person is legitimate or not.. What got his account locked and triggered this warning is this. He was telling people to deposit $10,000 with Reality-Investment.com so they could make back some of their losses. Reality Investment is a binary options broker. Thomas also left a review for the company claiming to be in Norway. His forums account claimed to be from Atlanta. He really was posting from Israel.
A recovery room scam is a scam which promises to get back money lost in a previous scam. It always involves the victim having to send more money. A reference to a real lawyer who can help is not a scam. Telling victims of forex and binary fraud that they can make their money back with an investment in binaries is a recovery room scam.
I am still gathering information. I will post more as I get it. For now, I am posting this warning. I've also changed the password on his account so I can use it to send warnings to everyone he contacted.
I will post updates as I learn more.
