In any business, it is important to know who to deal with, and who stay away from. In the private placement world, it is even more critical. In fact, there are more brokers and “traders” which offer programs that are fake, than real. Since we have come across a number of inexperienced and misleading opportunities, we felt that creating a public “blacklist” would assist in preventing future fraud and time waste.
For those who post, please list the name of individual, company, and any other details you feel would protect people in the future. Also, this “blacklist” is applicable for all businesses related to private placement programs, such as buy/sells of bank instruments and bulk commodities.
Though we can’t list people ourselves, everyone who reads the blog can feel free to list as much information as they choose.
Let’s work as a team, and flush the ignorance and fraud out of the private placement business. The larger the list grows, the more people will be protected when pursuing future investment opportunities.
Due to the Blog’s limited search features, we ask that all BLACKLIST posts also be added to our Fraud Protection Forum !!!! This will allow each thread to register uniquely in Google, so your post shows up first when others enter their information into the search engines.
NOTE: Since we have received calls from many of the “accused” requesting the removal of certain posts, we have made it simple for everyone to understand. InsideTrade LLC will NOT remove any comments from the blacklist, it is the legal right of others to communicate their frustrations and experiences. For a legal reference, please refer to the Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. 230. As you will see, this protects us from any liability associated with our reader’s comments, whether the information posted is accurate or not! If you have a disagreement, contact the person directly, or create a rebuttal post by clicking “reply”. This will allow those who view the post to see both sides of the story, which is important for everyone to know
Thank you for your support, and let’s keep exposing the SCAMS for the better of everyone!
