Scam & Spam Mail sent by Forex Bastards

Now, a few interesting things about this one:-          The email was sent by ‘Felix Homogratus’, an individual who obviously uses a nickname to run his business.  His real name is Dmitri Chavkerov.  My gut tells me that there is something fishy about running a business under a nickname but maybe that’s just me.-          ‘Felix’ runs a few sites, one of those is www.forexbastards.com.  According to Felix “Forex Bastards was founded in January of 2006, after I literally couldn’t handle getting screwed any longer. Learning how to trade Forex I went through several Forex brokers, a few different trading signals providers and used multiple Forex educational training services; some brilliant, some useless and some down right horrible.”.  For some reason I get the feeling that his Yacht Seminar is a typical example of the types of scams his website was meant to expose.-          The speakers include Felix’s partner, Rob Grespinet.  According to the agenda, “If he feels like it, [Rob] will share with the participants the “inner talk” and “big boys outlook” on the Forex market over the next year.  Otherwise, we’ll just have to enjoy his profanity and witty humor.”.  Have you ever been to a seminar where one of speakers may or may not participate depending on his mood on that day?  Interesting character…-          Now the piece de resistance is the other two speakers: Skip Atwater and Marty Rosenblatt.  Those guys are supposedly experts in ‘Remote Viewing’.  Now I have to admit that I had to look up ‘Remote Viewing’ because I had no idea what that meant.  I thought that maybe it was the name of a new fancy indicator or strategy but I came to find that remove viewing (RV) is “is a protocol used in consciousness research where a viewer attempts to gather sense impressions and “knowingness”, non-sensorial information, about a target.”  So basically we are talking about telepathy or clairvoyance in trading the Forex?!?!  How desperate are we getting here?  What’s next, opening a ‘channel’ to Jesse Livermore to ask him for tips?-          The last speaker is ‘anonymous’ and I quote “He wants to keep his identity unknown before the seminar”.  Come on…people using nicknames, others using clairvoyance, and this last one the enigmatic speaker who wants to remain incognito.  Is it a trading seminar or a masquerade?  Is there really a difference?  I am starting to wonder.-          As another test, let’s go back to the CFTC warnings and let’s see how many apply to this ‘invitation’: 1)       “Stay away from opportunities that seem too good to be true”.  In Felix’s own words: “I can teach you a trading system that in my experience can easily make you into a Forex millionaire in 3 years or less”.  Now here note the word ‘EASILY’, ‘MILLIONAIRE’, and ‘3 YEARS’.  Too good to be true?  I also always like when systems promise to make you plenty of money with extremely little effort.  Two beautiful examples in this invitation.  First from Felix himself ” I’ll be honest with you, because of this way of trading, I am starting to become very lazy, and I am actually sleeping through a lot of the news announcements that I used to trade short term.”  Next from Skip Atwater: “The technique takes 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, and it has made this guy millions”.2)       “Be Sure You Get the Company’s Performance Track Record”.  In Felix’s own words again “[Rob Grespinet] is a heavy weight financial giant, and most people will never be able to comprehend the level of connections this guy has.  Just being in this guy’s presence is an honor”….Ok, what is HIS performance track record?  Numbers please!  About Skip Atwater: “he will be teaching a simple technique he has been using over the years.  The technique takes 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, and it has made this guy millions.”  So this guy is going to teach me how to use psychic abilities to make money in the market?  Show me a trading journal here, show me a trading account statement!  Quantify this guy’s trading system’s expectancy!  Last but not least: “this is Felix writing, and if you know me, you should know by now that I don’t throw empty words into thin air”.  Actually Felix I don’t know you, at all!  Actually it’s only by googling ‘Felix Homogratus’ that I was able to find your real name.  Maybe you’ve made millions but for all I know none of it was made through trading; maybe you have made all this money scamming retail traders.Ok, I have already wasted enough time analyzing this email.  My only point is that there are plenty of emails like this one finding their way in my inbox every single day, making incredible promises, telling me that there is a system out there that could make me millions by just working one hour a day, and to be honest I not only don’t believe any of them but I have to come to find them insulting.  As individuals who are entering the retail trading world, this is what we are exposed to.  We have to be vigilant, extremely vigilant.

Terrorism in Forex Market

Felix’s talent in convincing people with his lies and superstitions by his convincing style is really a magnificent talent. However, it might be better if he uses it in a useful way not a devastating one, like what he usually does. In fact, it is unfortunate to find such a Flammable Material in our economic world “Forex Market”, he who comes near it burns him. And this is what actually Felix does. He is trying to raise seditions between Brokers and Traders and thus, abusing Forex Market. He represents Terrorism in our Forex Market, for all what Terrorism does is just to destroy and damage the good without looking for the benefit of the others but its personal ambitions.
All Felix’s forums and websites have one target, which is to abuse Brokers’ reputation between traders and raise rumors; these websites such as Forexpeacearmy, Kingforexsignal, Forexbastards… etc. Thus after seeing and reading all these fake reviews about brokers, Fear addresses traders like a ghost; they either become hesitated of trading with brokers or become afraid of trading itself!!
On the other hand, those who are New to Forex won’t certainly consider dealing with those Brokers, even if they were the best, because they ignore this Felix’s history and Forex history as well.
Moreover, there is the fake marriage between Felix and Yulia- a marriage between a Russian and American citizen- he married her when she was already on the custody of another, he did that in order to take American citizenship and this is against Russian and American laws. This certainly resulted in sending Felix to jail for 7 years according to American law.
This bad social side besides the cruel business sides is enough to make us stop here and think that these deeds agree with human cognition of Terrorism. So, how we can believe this criminal’s allegations and follow him with both blind eyes and mind. Actually, this case needs a pause to be analyzed (though Reason refuses it!!).Terrorism in Forex Market
is the title

The FBI investigating With Felix Homogratus

First of all, I’d like to declare the purpose of writing this topic which is like a case in the court. There are many people in this world who need to be refined for the benefit of all of us. So let us begin to judge those people. I as a Broker have passed through a very bad experience during my trading history, which I’ll never forget. And actually there are many of me. In fact, there are many people who don’t know what Forex Market is, it is simply a market where you can trade and exchange currencies. All in all, let me begin explaining my case.My discussion will include specific persons Dimitry, Felix, and pharaoh, who actually consider themselves the protectors of Forex Market. The fact that many people don’t know is that these 3 persons were imprisoned before they began their activity in Forex Market. And after their release, they entered Forex Market as a Brokerage Firm. They built their website by copying and pasting the contents from other websites because certainly they had no idea about how to trade in Forex, moreover their platform was a fake one in order to cause traders’ loss. According to their bad intentions, they collected about 3 million$ from traders as a real accounts without returning it to them. Eventually as well as again, in 2000 they were imprisoned by FBI and NFA. More after, their return was as the return of the Devils, they were back to abuse Forex Market and to bring brokers to the ground. So Felix made many websites like Kingforexsignals, Forexrealm, Forexdiamonds, Secretnewsweapon, alansmoneyblog.com/forum- some of them are for Forex signals, some other are forums, and some others are brokerage firms- in order to attract traders. One of Felix’s websites was Forex Bastards, which till 2007 wasn’t known as a scam website service. Forex Bastards’ aim was to claim that some brokers were scams and to warn traders from dealing with them.At the beginning of 2008, FBI investigated this website and tracked its owner (Felix) and when Felix knew about that, he immediately changed this website’s name to “Forexpeacearmy”. And as a result they couldn’t claim his guiltiness. Then, this website continued its earlier activity till now.So, after revealing the truth what do you think about it? I’ll leave comments for you all.But all what I want to say is that this Black Market should be terminated by a way or another. Because recently Forex Marked undergo many problems and traders suffer from currency fluctuation, which is enough to bear, so there is no need to increase our economic problems by the existence of this Black Market. This Black Market is like Ozone Hole that will cause people to be killed, it is one of the biggest diseases in Forex Market that will abolish many innocent brokers. Therefore, this deadly serpent must be fought.

Felix Helped Adam & Tahir to stole Credit Cards

If you are one of those who are interested in Forex Forums, so you actually know what I’m talking about, if not, so it is better for you to know.  THere is a website, which is interested in indicating many brokers as scammers, known as ForexPeaceArmy. This website is owned by Felix assisted by other group of people whose aim is to abuse brokers’ reputation. After detecting those people’s history unfortunately I found that this Felix and other members of his group, Dimitry and pharaoh, were imprisoned twice before. Moreover, Adam and Tahir are Mafia Traders who opened many accounts with many brokers and worked with Automated Expert Advisers that allow them only to win never to lose. They were opening platforms from different IPs, which indicates that they were working for the sake of each other.What may be a surprise for you was not a surprise for me after knowing all this, for Adam was boasted before by the CIA for using different IP and stealing credit cards through the web.I think words cannot express our reactions, so instead we should take actions, for actions in cases like this are most effective. I think the best expression to describe this Black Market- that gives wrong signals and fake reviews about brokers- is that it is like AIDS, which has no cure, its only cure is to eradicate it. We must stop it and bring it to an end to clear up Forex Market.

Scam & Spam Mail sent by Forex Bastards

Now, a few interesting things about this one:-          The email was sent by ‘Felix Homogratus’, an individual who obviously uses a nickname to run his business.  His real name is Dmitri Chavkerov.  My gut tells me that there is something fishy about running a business under a nickname but maybe that’s just me.-          ‘Felix’ runs a few sites, one of those is www.forexbastards.com.  According to Felix “Forex Bastards was founded in January of 2006, after I literally couldn’t handle getting screwed any longer. Learning how to trade Forex I went through several Forex brokers, a few different trading signals providers and used multiple Forex educational training services; some brilliant, some useless and some down right horrible.”.  For some reason I get the feeling that his Yacht Seminar is a typical example of the types of scams his website was meant to expose.-          The speakers include Felix’s partner, Rob Grespinet.  According to the agenda, “If he feels like it, [Rob] will share with the participants the “inner talk” and “big boys outlook” on the Forex market over the next year.  Otherwise, we’ll just have to enjoy his profanity and witty humor.”.  Have you ever been to a seminar where one of speakers may or may not participate depending on his mood on that day?  Interesting character…-          Now the piece de resistance is the other two speakers: Skip Atwater and Marty Rosenblatt.  Those guys are supposedly experts in ‘Remote Viewing’.  Now I have to admit that I had to look up ‘Remote Viewing’ because I had no idea what that meant.  I thought that maybe it was the name of a new fancy indicator or strategy but I came to find that remove viewing (RV) is “is a protocol used in consciousness research where a viewer attempts to gather sense impressions and “knowingness”, non-sensorial information, about a target.”  So basically we are talking about telepathy or clairvoyance in trading the Forex?!?!  How desperate are we getting here?  What’s next, opening a ‘channel’ to Jesse Livermore to ask him for tips?-          The last speaker is ‘anonymous’ and I quote “He wants to keep his identity unknown before the seminar”.  Come on…people using nicknames, others using clairvoyance, and this last one the enigmatic speaker who wants to remain incognito.  Is it a trading seminar or a masquerade?  Is there really a difference?  I am starting to wonder.-          As another test, let’s go back to the CFTC warnings and let’s see how many apply to this ‘invitation’: 1)       “Stay away from opportunities that seem too good to be true”.  In Felix’s own words: “I can teach you a trading system that in my experience can easily make you into a Forex millionaire in 3 years or less”.  Now here note the word ‘EASILY’, ‘MILLIONAIRE’, and ‘3 YEARS’.  Too good to be true?  I also always like when systems promise to make you plenty of money with extremely little effort.  Two beautiful examples in this invitation.  First from Felix himself ” I’ll be honest with you, because of this way of trading, I am starting to become very lazy, and I am actually sleeping through a lot of the news announcements that I used to trade short term.”  Next from Skip Atwater: “The technique takes 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, and it has made this guy millions”.2)       “Be Sure You Get the Company’s Performance Track Record”.  In Felix’s own words again “[Rob Grespinet] is a heavy weight financial giant, and most people will never be able to comprehend the level of connections this guy has.  Just being in this guy’s presence is an honor”….Ok, what is HIS performance track record?  Numbers please!  About Skip Atwater: “he will be teaching a simple technique he has been using over the years.  The technique takes 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, and it has made this guy millions.”  So this guy is going to teach me how to use psychic abilities to make money in the market?  Show me a trading journal here, show me a trading account statement!  Quantify this guy’s trading system’s expectancy!  Last but not least: “this is Felix writing, and if you know me, you should know by now that I don’t throw empty words into thin air”.  Actually Felix I don’t know you, at all!  Actually it’s only by googling ‘Felix Homogratus’ that I was able to find your real name.  Maybe you’ve made millions but for all I know none of it was made through trading; maybe you have made all this money scamming retail traders.Ok, I have already wasted enough time analyzing this email.  My only point is that there are plenty of emails like this one finding their way in my inbox every single day, making incredible promises, telling me that there is a system out there that could make me millions by just working one hour a day, and to be honest I not only don’t believe any of them but I have to come to find them insulting.  As individuals who are entering the retail trading world, this is what we are exposed to.  We have to be vigilant, extremely vigilant.

Forex Bastards Send Spam Mails

I get a lot of spam and junk email in my inbox every day so I usually don’t pay attention to new Forex sites that spring up over the place, however, a couple of my subscribers have added comments on this site about a popular Forex broker review and free Forex signal service at Forex Bastards.So, this weekend I decided to go and check it out. I signed up for Forex Bastards’ free Forex signal service and read some of their popular review pages on Forex brokers, Forex education, and Forex alerts.Having perused the site I liked the similar views held by the owner of Forex Bastards, Felix Homogratus (not his real name), on Oanda – that being: Oanda is the best Forex broker out there (but not perfect). Another interesting thing I found about Felix’s site was the economic announcement portals he uses to obtain the latest released figures. If you’re someone who isn’t using Bloomberg or Reuters to obtain your economic figures and you need these numbers with your Forex trading strategy (and you can afford the hefty monthly fee) then you’ll want to subscribe to Felix’s signals and read what he has to say. Lastly, I had a good laugh at his “Forex Scams” page where he listed popular Forex brokers such as AC-Markets, Refco, and FXCM on this page!Probably the most interesting thing about Forex Bastards was Felix’s broadcast email that he sent out on the weekend on an interview he had with Richard Olsen, CEO of Oanda. I’m probably not at liberty to copy the entire email here, but what struck me was the fact that with Felix’s news announcement strategy (where he takes a direction as soon as figures are released on popular news announcements and then proceeds to exit that position within ONE minute of it being opened) was that Oanda were willing to take a loss with the positions he was taking (due to the fast moving market)!!As Felix has had some success with this news announcement strategy he was looking to increase his position sizing to see if he could make more money with it, but after realizing the cost to Oanda of his strategy he concluded after the interview that he would maintain his current position sizing and continue to withdraw his profits on a weekly basis.In a way it reminded me of the days when Forex brokers guaranteed stops and traders, such as myself, were able to make good money trading volatile announcements such as the Non-Farm Payrolls by strangling either side of the currency – unfortunately this strategy was nullified when Forex brokers no longer guaranteed stops and we all experienced slippage of between 30-50 pips!I similarly think that Felix’s news strategy will not last long at Oanda, as I haven’t heard of too many brokers willing to take a loss on behalf of their clients. Things that make it even worse for Felix are the fact that he has a large subscriber base where he details his strategy before the event and no doubt some of them use his strategies on Oanda too – all it will take is one person with a big enough bank to nullify this opportunity for everyone else.For those using Felix’s strategies: take advantage while the opportunity exists, but don’t think it will last forever (although for your sakes I really hope it does).
