It is a strange feeling to recognise oneself as part of a quantitative data in other peoples' monetary game, a feeling of being devalued, a fraction of whole, defrauded of noughts and left standing alone as a single digit 1.
I started my investment journey with 500. Trade nearly a year ago. I had no experience in trading or any other financial matters. My late husband used to say that I am naïve in worldly matters and I can see now what he meant. After my husband died, I needed to make ends meet when craftily positioned advert of earning money by trading on 500. Trade grabbed my attention. I had very little money but 500. Trade advertised that it is possible to start with 250 Euro and my desperation blinded me and I contacted them. The beginning was good as they seemed to help and care. I was "working" with all the names others are mentioning: Andy Klein, Daniel Rothschild, Michael Mellon, James Pearson and John Hofmann, and I did learn a few things about trading. However, as soon as I deposited all the money that I had borrowed from friends and family, and we managed to double the equity, the mighty crash was arranged and as I lost everything, I was offered bonus which cannot be withdrawn and when we earned some money again then due to positions being too big, we lost all again and non-withdraw bonus was to follow and so on, you catch the drift … Yes, I was asked if I wanted these bonuses and I did agree to have them just to be able to keep trading in desperate hope that one day I could make enough to be able to return money I owed. Well, my hopes usually are not viable: they have 100% mortality rate to be more precise, and I should have remembered that. Also, all the time I was reminded to put in more money which I did not have and told them so, I was even told to borrow from Bank and invest with them which I luckily did not do, however, the pressure for more money never stopped.
Last time I heard from 500. Trade was 18th October. They said that their system will be updated and advised not to open positions. I haven't heard anything since, the website appears to be down, emails and messages go undelivered/unanswered. I don't think that means they will cease trading/scamming, they will probably just change addresses, numbers, etc., however, it is only my guess.
Obviously, it is a scam, and a very sophisticated one. I doubt if the names of these "account managers" are real. I guess they never planned for me to withdraw any money and only customers who have more money to give can withdraw some not to scare them off before everything has been taken.
Andy, James, John or whatever your names, I hope you can live with what you are doing, however, when one day your loved ones will be in hospital and a nurse will help and comfort them, you will remember that one older critical care nurse, who is working tirelessly days and nights to literally save lives, and the way you added to her despair. Most likely you will never read this, but if you do – don't be alarmed: there is too much pain and suffering in the world already so I wish you well.
And yes, I am a real person and it is not a fake review as I am not the fake one here.
