A Warning About Online Investment Schemes

pr@tradingmetro.com (TM Communications) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 00:35:00 -0800

Popular Websites such as Craigslist and Meetup.com Act as Vehicles

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Friday, March 7, 2008 – Fraudulent investment schemes almost always sound wonderful at the beginning – in fact oftentimes they sound too good to be true.

Recently, the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) issued a press release warning investors of online investment groups and meetups. It is through what’s known as social media websites that groups are created around investment strategies and advertise seminars for investment opportunities.

http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/release.aspx?id=6119

“This is a timely release, especially with so many seemingly can’t miss opportunities flooding the marketplace,” said Trading Post Financial Services VP, Marketing Communications Samuel Araki. “It’s important than ever for traders and investors to do their due diligence when deciding to make any purchasing decisions.”

Transparency is key to the investment decision-making process. Tips to working with a company can include factors such as, a physical address in a country that has securities regulations, a strong and visible management group, and a company background check with any number of consumer protection groups.

The following is an excerpt from the original BCSC release:

Social networking websites create an environment ripe for affinity fraud. Fraudsters can take advantage of the fact people can share information with both their real and “virtual” friends by posting it to their profile, joining a group or simply forwarding the information to others with their approval. Communication tools provided by some social networking websites make it easy to advertise and promote investment scams to a wide audience for free.

Fraudulent investment schemes usually exhibit one or more of the following red flags:
· Promise of high returns
· Great investment opportunity – your friends can’t be wrong
· Secrecy – an insider opportunity
· Tax-free investment or use of a structure to evade taxes
· Lack of receipts or documentation about the investment

“Oftentimes exaggerating claims of an investment opportunity without sufficient background can mislead investors,” Araki said. “If an opportunity needs atypical claims to attract attention, then it should set warning bells off for all investors.”

pr@tradingmetro.com (TM Communications) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:00:00 -0700

As experience has proved, live, one-day classes are often mentally exhausting and not accessible to persons who have a "9-to-5" job.

We are please to have transformed the educational instruction that a Client would have traditionally received in our Beginners and Advanced Courses into two new deliverables called the FX Market Sector Course and Trader Development Course.

These two new courses are not available for stand-alone purchase. They are available through purchase of the FX Total Trader Package or FX Elite Trader Package.
