He is also a member of this forum I would think
He seems to be trying to impersonate you on twitter?

That is certainly not me tweeting but I was right that he is a member of this community, otherwise how would he know. Ill have to look in to this situation before he got more creative. Thanks for showing it to me Peter.

If the only info he has is your name, DOB, email and pic he should nt be able to do to much damage financially wise with just that (all of this is visible on most peoples social network profile pages anyway especially if friended).
But obviously you need to look into it and report the fact he is opening fake accounts under your name to post statements.
I would also follow PeterLe's post and add the two step authentication just to be safe

If he knows that he's scamming people, then he has no right to start playing dirty when he gets exposed

If he has been unfairly represented, then as a forum member he should explain himself

Good afternoon traders,
I want to tell of us that i am definetely not a scammer.
I have my own platteform and i can proof it
Martynas baltrusaitis wanted to join me and i told him that only neteller is linked to my platteform consequently i told him to send money to one of my partner by skrill so is it possible to understand where is the scam???
I wish to all of us a good trading day

I too have been friended on FB by this cheese monkey although I have unfriended him as I assumed he was a fraud.
I guess he contacts people that post on Peters' FB page,I'd be extremely wary giving any info to him as a former victim of cyber fraud I know what is possible with little information.

I've been contacted by this fruit on FB as well. So far he offered to 'manage wallet for customers with my own platform' whatever this means:

I manage your wallet and charge 35% commision
For example with 1000£ your net monthly profit will be around 650£

:roll:

Very tempting!

I have been invited to join this guy to, where do people get off, no disrespect to anyone, but i dont keep friends on my fb page who do sports trading tell a lie i have one, but his a work collegue and he trades Forex. It takes alot of dedication and hard work to crack this, if people are to bone idle lazy to ask someone else to do that for them then they need their head tested and deserved to be ripped off. Am very wary even when the banks call my phone, but i know they will never ask for your password. I only follow P Webb You Tube clips, C Berry on fb, and the Top Aussie Badger fortips and advice. Oh yes now getting into the Mugsgame video,s great stuff to learn from. Credibility gains trust

The big problem with this industry is very few people actually do it, even fewer have done it on any scale. But they are happy to dish out advice as though they have. It would be a huge shock to many if people where forced to publish their historic results because it would be clear they are exactly being open when they ask you to buy their advice.

That's a shame because it could save traditional punters a fortune in losses but when I struggle to get credibility because of the above, you realise that I may never be able to achieve that.

I think the majority Peter can speak for your credibility, dont beat yourself up over these idiots.

If you did have to choose someone from the people mentioned in the above posts to hand over your account details for them to trade your account you would choose P Webb every time, well I would anyway.

I used to often wonder about the people selling all the advice and services if they actually made as much as they made out. Nowadays, I just wonder whether they even trade at all.

I don't get why somebody would want advice, let alone pay for advice, from somebody who you suspect rarely participates in the markets themselves,somebody whose outdated methods no longer work, or from somebody who you suspect might not even profit at all.

Though I only say that from a point of jealousy, I'm pretty sure there are people out there making far more from selling tips, advice and ebooks than I make from trading. Guess I'm the mug.

It's rare to find somebody that actually does and can prove it, very rare.

I've got a couple of wonderful stories about a trading service and a famous system, both of which are real eye openers. Will try and get them on You Tube for your amusement at some point.

This guy is still active and scamming people. I came across it again on Twitter today. Asked the person who was scammed to post here so we can make more people aware.
