I was friended by James Thomas on Facebook about 6 months ago. We got to know each other personally and then he let me know about AgeTraders that showed huge returns. He lured me into an investment account starting with $1000. From there the returs were much smaller and slower than what was advertised. I kept asking him how the trading was going and he continuously replied with an excuse. "Oh we havent done much with your account this week but we will work on it next week" and then I would see a small return like $100 bucks or so. Once the account accumulated to about $4600 USD, I put in a request to withdraw funds for about $1500 to help pay my taxes. He then got kind of irritated saying he was having trouble paying so many withdrawls and he would get to me as soon as he could. I never heard back from him, then to my dismay, his Facebook account was no longer active and my login credentials to my investment account at Agetraders no longer worked. I completely got taken for all my money. Then, I find out that several payments are made to my PayPal account suddenly without knowledge of who the senders are nor why. So I thought, maybe that is someone else at Agetraders paying me? Then all of a sudden, the money is pulled back stating that they never recieved the service and now my PayPal account is negative $6000 USD which I am now in dispute with at PayPal but have nothing to show them for proof. This was a bona-fide Ponzi scheme that I got taken for.
