Re: I am absolutely flabbergasted....

Truville, I am very sorry, since you seem to have taken it far more personal then I intended. The issue was not with you or your company per se. (btw, you must mistake me for someone else, I have never tried to sign up as a client, so you could not possibly decline me, nor have I been on your back for weeks now, I think this is my first forum post in a long long time, where I even mention your name)
When I read about your rather stiff prices ($550 seems to be at the upper end for signal providers) and further learned that 100 clients had signed up and all it obviously took was your website and what was stated there (and 100 people jump on dreaming to make big bucks), it dawned on me how easy people are lured into signing up with signal providers. Basically what I did was taking you just as an example for my line of reasoning, that was all. I had no intention to single you out in order to bash you. You are just standing as an example for all the hundreds of signal providers out there, with whom I would have the same issues. I just happened to come across your name and what struck me was how many people are ready to sign up without doing any proper research.
I think I can say that, because I also use a signal provider to supplement my income. I researched that person (anybody can guess who it is) and followed his trades for almost a year on a demo, thus was truly able to verify if he is genuine or not and recently signed up and started to trade live money. I was able to verify for a very long time that the pips he makes are reflected on my account as well (as most know this is one of the biggest issues with signal providers, most claim a completely different pip result at the end of the month compared to their clients) and this signal provider charges a very, very modest fee of $100 a MONTH! (and I cannot help but need to add that his website also looks quite professional)
In my humble opinion the fee is so modest that this also tells me a lot about that person's character. So my path to a signal provider was a long and stoney one, I was not ready to throw away my money only because I saw a website and 3 months of statements. So let me close by saying that after having done some serious research, I was so amazed (probably I am just too naive since I should have known better) when I learned about the number of customers and the fee Truville is charging, realizing then that Truville stands for hundreds of these guys. So nothing personal Truville, it is not about you, relax, it is about your customer's attitude and the attitude of people in general, who seem to be so easy mislead by promises of big money.
