Thread: Odd email from North Finance

  1. #1
    Looks like this hit my junk mail now and I really don't see anything about it . I haven't confirmed this as a scam email but I have already reported it to North Finance and it's fairly obvious.

    I usually just flush these when I get them for my ebay account, paypal account, checking account, yadda yadda... yet this is the first time I've ever seen one specifically directed at me personally as an IB for other companies.

    The email was from: Ib2 North Finance [[email protected]]

    Pretty obvious that it's a scam, but for your... less apt Currency Market traders DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR Details. For them to know that I'm a Currency Market trader means they've at least done that bit of assignments, or they are fully shooting in the dark and it hit me.

    I hate to see about folks being scammed and I have already forwarded the email to North Finance to alarm them. Figured submitting a warning was easier than posting a response to the Help I got scammed post.

    You need to notify the Secret Service when you get emails like this. They've a fraud investigations unit that specializes on this kind of scam.

    I and this advice. Many crooks stay in this industry because no one reports them. When there's a phone number for your fax, then for sure FBI or other national investigation agency can track them.

    Well, I get a fraud Ebay email twice a week and forward them right along into the ebay fraud department. Same with paypal. I was just more worried about this one since it's the first Forex Particular one I have recieved.

    I'm not a Finance client, but I have inquired about their IB program when I was looking for an MT4 broker to provide my customers.

    I forwarded the email to the address listed on the North Finance website for questionable emails and submitted here.

    Thank you for completing my title change request Twee. I didn't desire North Finance and Scam at precisely the same title. Must have been tired when I wrote that.

    Hehe, who you talking to WHT? If it's me, so far as I'm concerned I have forwarded it to the firm that has a vested interest in their own PR and someone impersonating them. They can forward it to the Secret Service if they wish. I think them knowing about it is much more important than quitting this 1 crook another can take its place.

    Additionally, I have been burnt before when touching these myself. I actually responded to one of these money laundering schemes (I don't know if it had been boredom or what, I had been in school ). It was among our US individual will pay X dollars for your currently for sale auto in the event that you ahead the remainder of what we send you to Y individual in Nigeria. Obvious scam, but I replied sure send me a check expecting that to be the last I hear from them. 2 months later I actually recieved the check. I took it to the Bank, together with the corespone mails and explained the situation. The bank advised that I deposit the check and if it is fraudulant it just won't go through. Depositing the check, as the bank advised, froze not just all my financial accounts, but my parents accounts as well and induced them to bounce their mortgage check. It took a month of being researched to get our accounts freed up. I won't ever notify the government about it again, if the company wants to, they can.

    Hey my buddy, the message was to get melpheos. I said that the appropriate police to contact was the Secret Service and the dummy responded back to contact the FBI or nationwide evaluation agency. With my background from the Justice Dept, he's telling me I am wrong. He is not too bright.

It took a month of being investigated to receive our accounts freed up. I won't ever inform the authorities about it , if the company would like to, they could.

    NorthFinance email to my friend:

    My friend sent this email to me asking my advice because he was going to open an account with NorthFinance. He asked NF when it was OK to create a wire transfer from a bank that he has no account bec. My friend says the bank charges a far lower service cost compared to his bank in which he has an account. The reason he asked this question is bec. NF stated they will only send his cash (if he'd make withdrawals) in the bank at which he made the wire transfer. I advised him that with additional forex brokers whom I have an account with, you are asked them to send the money to any bank you desire. Also, I couldn't imagine someone asking for bank statements to prove it's their account. I stated it was quite bizarre and I wouldn't open an account with NF.

    As there are several brokers out there, I don't know if this is a standard operating procedure for some brokers. Anyone who will comment on this?

    What NorthFinance is doing would be to stop scammers or hackers to steal your money in your trading account.

    If the funds could be deposited and transfered out with a distinct name and bank account then your capital may only dissappear / stolen easily.

    The point of depositing and withdrawing to the exact same bank account would be to prevent money laundering that is a legal point

    Some traders are only irresponsible with the security of their trading accounts.
