Forex guaranteed return????

Hello fellow savers,

I will like to confirm this from experts on this forum. A friend recently told me that if a certain amount of money(like 500 pounds) is deposited with a forex expert, they can give a guaranteed some of money within 2 months.

Is this true?

Thanks

Kay

    Nope, sounds like they will be gambling, sorry 'trading' on foreign exchange (forex) currencies with your money. Seriously, anyone doing this as part of an investment scheme needs to be registered with the FSA.

    Cheers folks.

    I was wondering. The guy is seriously learning the forex market from guy B(who i was told was an Epert in forex). Guy B collect some money and give guy A returns in 8 weeks. The returns was very reasonable. I knew i will be enlightened by folks here.

    Many thanks.

    NO SUCH THING.
    If he is so good then why does he need to share this with others, (no doubt for a fee)?
    If it seems to good to be true then it is.

    Regards,

    P.S. There are many such Forex schemes available at a price. WHY?
    Never be afraid to take a profit. ;)
    Keep breathing. :eek:
    Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j

    Anyone guaranteeing a return on FOREX dealing is more likely a magician than an expert. The amount you mention will attract the worst rate spread and punitive fees.
    Never ever give your card details to anyone over the phone, and check the reputation of any company you do intend to give them to.
