Secret Forex Society Using Fake Address in NYC

[McPott]

Hey peoples. I recently read something interesting about this Secret Forex Society "scam" as many have put it. I don't know if it's a scam either, but this blog post I just read is almost on the money when it comes to asking questions about SECRET FOREX SOCIETY now called Forex Peace Army that is so quick to call everything on earth a scam themselves, while they review their own things that earn them money with positive reviews.

Forex Peace Army actively promotes their business as an LLC that is run from this suite in Manhattan but the building doesn't even exist.


This blog writer attempts to figure out if the address they use is real or not, the best he could do is try and find it on a map. Indeed, Google shows there is no 1617 between 1611 and 1619 Broadway, just a street.

Well, I'll go one step further, I'll actually venture to NYC (its a 5 minute drive) and see if it really does exist, this 1617 Broadway, Suite 1001 and bring my camera along to post evidence.

[McPott]

Picture #1 is a shot of 1619 Broadway, you can see the front door and the COlony Music Store taking up the whole first floor. Logic dictates since numbers are going up as you go North, the next building is higher than numbered higher than 1619. And it is.


PICTURE #2 Is a close up of that front door, just proving that there's no 1617 at least at this entrance. The Secret Forex Society might counter and say, well, the side entrance might be 1617 or, 1617 might be part of this building too. Well, it's not.


PICTURE #3 is a long shot of the side of Colony Records (1619 BROADWAY), if 1617 did exist, it would overlap somewhere here with 1619, but it doesnt. What kind of business do you know of that mis numbers its address for years and years? How do customers find it? Unless it's made up.



Picture #4 is a very long shot of the entire corner building... both entrances say 1619 Broadway.

[McPott]

Picture #5 is a shot of the entire scene, 1611 Broadway which leads you to the next building which is 1619. 1613, 1615, 1617 are all skipped, rightfully so if you know anything about lot numberings, its the middle of the street!

[McPott]

The side entrance to the Colony Records Building is clearly 1619. And unless there's one big misunderstanding, 1617 doesn't exist. You can't really argue that the numbers might be going up with the higher floors of the building because look at the empire state, even though that's dozens of floors, the building has one set number for all it's suites.


Just to prove to you the other side of the street is no where near 1617 here's this picture.


So what to make of all of this?

[McPott]

wow! I just found out that Felix's address in california used to be:

1617***************************************

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! He just changed the town and zip code. And to think, if he had only lived at 1619 Broadway in Los Angeles (and checked that zip code map), we wouldn't have even known... unless someone actually went into 1619 Broadway in NY after being ripped off.

I have been a subscriber of forex diamonds and king forex for over a year now. I find there service excellent and his knowledge and signals are brilliant. By the way the diamonds room is a news trading room so he doesnt try and predict where the market is going but merely interprets the figures and enters in on the afterspike if all conditions are met.

I believe that Felix is a decent person that really tries to help others make money in a very tricky forex market. His Forex Bastards site is a brilliant source of information regarding brokers and reviews.

[McPott]

But can you prove that SOODAN? Message boards are filled with people claiming to be Felix's Subscribers for a year, or more than a year... where's the proof? Show me a video of his super profitable "live chatroom" (of course not live video, just a sample of past performance). Show us your past performance if you've made so much money with him. You must have some way to prove this is true, that's all alot of people are looking for, confirmation. Not anonymous comments by first time posters.

i get felix free newsletters, awesome info, never traded real money with them though

To be honest, there's just no way to prove anything unless you try it for yourself in Forex, including message boards or whatever Forex news outlet you choose to follow. But that is exactly the point, the choice is yours, no need to get upset over other people's methods, just worry about yourself, your own strategy, and your own capital and you can be successful in this market.

agreed, but where there's smoke, there's fire...

Touché! but we've got to give Felix's service the benefit of the doubt, because there's so many scammers that make money by denouncing Felix as well, there's really no one to trust 100%.

[McPott]

haha, you give hiim the benefit, ill give him the doubt... you must be afraid of the Russian mafia!

[#01]

I'd be more afraid of the Chechen Mafia teehee

Hey, when something goes wrong and you are looking for him, at least he can say he gave you the right country to look in

But seriously, if he's so great, why change his addy around like that? It's one thing to use whois protect on your domain, but to use a fake addy in every newsletter you've sent for over a year implies conscious deception. Draw your own conclusions why he would want to make it seem like he's trading out of a suite in an office building in NY, not from his girlfriend's kitchen table in Marina Del Rey.

I was a felix supporter and subscriber for a while until I found out about this lie, AND he has like, 5 sites all offering signals and services all costing us $1000's every month (if you sign up for them all) AND found out that he filters out comments from Forex Peace Army Forex Bastards, whatever it's called this week. I'm still amazed about how people say they go there for "unbiased" reviews on Brokers, I'm sure you through those reviews you were steered in the same direction.

[mk3fx]

Some of those reviews are just rubbish, people who sound bitter the market went against them, because I have used 3 brokers that get awful reviews on his site and NEVER has one problem happened in 1000's of trades. Never, I lose money because I enter losing trades, not because there's someone behind the scenes manipulating the market like those reviews suggest, it's kind of upsetting.

spam your blog 1000's of times on Yahoo and other blogs and you'll be the most popular too

that's besides the point, FXPA is all over the net referred to as the place to get fair reviews by really big companies, so why don't you slow your role and not meddle in things you can't understand

[FXman]

well, that's a pretty gggay comment. Just because company X gets a good review somewhere and makes note of it doesn't make the website or the company Mother Theresa or the American Red Cross... at the end of the day everyone around here is trying to make money... period
