Internet Scam Masquerading As Legitimate Currency Fund

The first rule of thumb for testing a deal that comes your way is “If it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.”

Imagine if someone came to you and said I am going to give you a million dollars to trade the commodity markets and we will go fifty-fifty on the profits. This definitely sounds too good to be true. Yet, this is what happened to a few fortunate individuals who became known as members of the Turtles: a group of people chosen to trade the commodities markets funded by Richard Dennis back in 1984.

In 2012, Apiary Fund sends out unsolicited junk emails stating they will train people and fund them to trade the currency markets with the headlines:

 We'll Fund Your Account - While You Learn to Become a More Profitable Trader

If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. However, when you happen to know about the Turtles, you have to put a proviso in that rule of thumb rule, which now becomes, If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. There is always the off chance that all things are possible and the proprietor Apiary Fund might turn out to be another Richard Dennis seeking to find some twenty-first century traders to form a new breed of Turtles. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

The first alert there might be something fishy going on is the form requesting information on your own portfolio, and whether or not you might like advice on how to manage it.

The alarm looks ready to sound at the webinar when participants are told how much other organizations charge for training. The alarm goes off when you learn that Apiary Fund is seeking a fee for training you, prior to funding you.

The death toll sounds when participants are told that there are monthly data feed payments for unfunded simulation accounts.

The  coffin is on its way when you learn that Apiary Fund solely trades currency markets, which means Apiary Fund is a bucket shop creating a false currency market where they fund you, once you have paid them to go through their advanced training.

In all probability, you will spend $10,000, or maybe more, doing their training courses. When you are funded to trade the currency market, you will be playing with token money, because it will be on their currency market simulator. Although, their market simulator mimics the real markets, but is merely a computerized board game, where you play against Apiary Fund.

Apiary Fund promise to let you keep a healthy percentage of the profits you make once you are funded by them.  Everything seems legit and aboveboard, except they expect all the participants to give up because they will make it so difficult to make money, if you are a funded participant, you will give up because you will not be able to make any money. This will be the case, regardless of how many  advanced courses you take to improve your skills.

Further evidence of Apiary being a scam is registrants of their webinar, who do not make a decision to pay the fees to see if they are one of the lucky 30 qualifiers to be selected as participants are chased via phone by consultants.

Honestly, there are much better ways to make money than falling for internet scams and online frauds.

Is Apiary Fund run by Darrell Anderson out of Ohio an internet scam?

I received what appears to be a thoroughly thought out scam which looks like an online scam that is a very cunningly devised internet fraud.

When is a scam a scam. This is not necessarily a internet scam as most online scams go. This is a scam that just might not be a scam even though it appears to be a scam. Okay, a scam is a scam.

On Bike Mike’s Trading Forum, I found the following response by member Rambledog:

I tried their program over a year ago. It was about $700 and then $97 for a "tech" fee. The idea is not new. We'll train you to trade our money just give us some of yours!!
 I stopped going to the training after about 6 weeks because it was nothing that would give a person anything more than a basic education and certainly no edge. They talked about "robots" and their auto trading indicators, but at the end if the day it was just basic stuff. Did I get my moneys worth? No I don't think so. Did I learn something, yeah a few things, but not enough for the $700.
 Now I was going to let things go quietly into the night and let them have my $700 until they recently called me and tried to convince me to give them $7200 to join their success team. This team was supposed to have a 98% success rate at turning traders profitable in three months. Sound to good to be true? If they can turn 98 percent of traders to profit in 3 months why do they need my lousy $7200 bucks.

 My two cents would be to STEER WAY CLEAR of this outfit and any other pay to trade type of fund. Welcome any input from others who have succeeded in pay to trade programs.

 Good luck.......

 The reality is when people make claims that they will fund your account and then seek payment upfront then the scheme is just one of the many internet frauds that  are worthy of our junk mailbox.

$10 million Internet Scam

 People scam for all sorts of reasons. That the kind of statement you would expect from a psychologist or psychiatrist. I think people scam because they see it as an easy way to defraud honest people out of their money.

People who get scammed, however, may not be honest themselves. They may simply be gullible. Scammers do not look for honest people. Internet fraud is accomplished using gullible people.

You would have to be gullible to believe that you had inherited some money from some relative you had never heard of before, or probably even more gullible than gullible to believe that some person who you have never heard of before and was not a relation had nominated you in his or her will as a beneficiary. The truth is nobody is that gullible. Well, maybe I should not say nobody as there is always Dumb and Dumber.

Seriously, who would believe that they are the beneficiary of a will of some Lord or Countess from Europe or Great Britain?  I would suggest only somebody who is desperate or greedy and has a tendency to be dishonest.  Any sane person would immediately recognize such a suggestion as a scam in the making.

The client of Sir Frank Mercer has died—bless his soul. Naturally, not being a relative nor friend nor acquaintance, the benevolent soul he was, saw fit to include me in his will. The email notifying me of this somber occasion informs me that although the man has regrettably died, I have been fortunate that my “name was listed as Heir to our late client funds 8,500, 000.00 Euro ($10.000.000 aprox.), deposited in a Bank Abroad.

This is just a summary for us to hear back from you and explain in details to you, the major reason why we are contacting you. For more details send yourResponse to the personal email address of the Legal Officer below.”

Contact Email: barr.fmercer12@live.com-

I always find it rather humorous how these dead people have an email address at live.com. Maybe this is supposedly a subliminal cue to act now so that the recipient can live it up on the dead man’s funds.

The aim of this internet scam is catch the desperate and greedy, who then become gullible enough to fall for the next part of the ploy. Even the desperate are not gullible enough to fall for the first email and expect the money to be sent to them no questions asked. Naturally, as we all would under genuine circumstances, we would expect some security checks to be made. Our bona fides need to be established to prove that we are not some scammer who is out to scam the scammers.  However, this is a scam, and nobody is going to hand over their details immediately, until they are convinced there is something in this scam for them.

If we were to reply, this means that we will be providing details of bank accounts and other information that can be used for identity theft if we ourselves are not able to be fleeced by the scammers. This information will be used to create new accounts into which funds can be transferred and withdrawn to be funneled to Romania or Azerbaijan or Russia or Nigeria or anywhere there is a Western Union office.

This scam is about how funds abroad need to be harvested—sorry, retrieved—from a certain bank account or even a number of bank accounts, since the funds were secretly dispersed. In the event that your own bank account has no money in it, then you will be used as a mule to funnel funds across to the collection center where all the monies have to be verified and authorized for distribution after probate. In the event, that you are not willing to comply with these requests, an online fraud will done making use of the details you have provided to them.

Latest Internet Scam Busted

The  scam center of the world is found in Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania. From this city of 120000 people, scammers are bred by the crime gangs that have risen out of the free markets experience of Romania. A city which knew only the communist brand of wealth has now become a mecca for the wealth of the free market. The issue is free market to these gypsy crime gangs is defined as bank account free-for-all.

The daily news reports Romanian Crime Syndicate Busted in Global Credit Card Fraud: 16 members of an international crime gang have been busted after an internet scam netting $31million from bank accounts. The authorities do not recover the stolen money. Nonetheless, this is supposed to assure us the law enforcement authorities are on the job and we can rest in peace that our bank accounts will not be targeted again—if only this were true!

 A criminal investigator told me that these people only operate from computers out of Romania, there is no chance of them knocking on my door, nor stealing any of my personal belongings.  Yet when these cyber criminals worked out how to gain access to people’s bank accounts by obtaining their card numbers and PINs (personal identification numbers) from ATMs (automatic teller machines), they were not sitting in an internet café in Bucharest, let alone Râmnicu Vâlcea. Instead, they were placing electronic surveillance equipment within exact replica facades that were placed over the ATMs to capture the bank account details and PINs of the unsuspecting bank customers.

The scammers have branched out and many are living in different countries of the world, where they will attempt to open bank accounts with false identification, and then use those accounts to transfer money stolen from other accounts. The stolen money is then withdrawn and sent via Western Union to Râmnicu Vâlcea. According to one reporter, there are some twenty Western Union branches in Râmnicu Vâlcea. They are doing a roaring business, not to mention the high-end European car dealerships that have sprung up selling expensive models of Mercedes, Audi and BMWs.

Scams are now being perpetrated by criminals who are actually lurking around a city near you, seeking to steal your identification details, by whatever means, so they can set up legitimate bank accounts for which you and I may be responsible.

Fortunately, the authorities relatively understand and are aware of what is happening.  Nevertheless, we need to be vigilant in ensuring that our on details are kept as safe as possible. This means ensuring that we not only check our bank accounts regularly to see that no money is going missing and all transactions are in accordance to dealings. This also means that when we use ATMs and are pressing the buttons to enter our PIN that we cover what we are doing, so the numbers cannot be recorded by any surveillance technology that might happen to be installed in a false covering in the upper portion of the hole in the wall. Failure to do this, more than likely, could mean we will have an even greater hole in our financial situation.

It is much better to make money honestly, as these guys are getting caught and the criminal investigators are putting them away. Making money honestly means you can sleep at night and have a clear conscience. This is why it is much better to blog and be rewarded for doing so.
