I am a victim as well. I answered a Craigslist ad back on 4/1/11 for an Entry Level / Derivatives Trader position. I was first contacted by Jim Goldman from an email address from Citadel Trading, [email protected], to go through web-based training which I did. He had me set up a Mirus Futures demo account for NinjaTrader. I first traded for him on 4/27/11 and received an email the following day that trading volume had increased 10x since the beginning of the month and that they were taking the server down for maintenance. My second day of trading was on 5/2/11 followed by another email the following day saying they were taking the server down again and were in search of a third party platform. He said trading volume had gone up exponentially and that the server was not going to be able to efficiently handle the volume if the volume continued to grow. I knew it was too good to be true...no trading capital required from me whether for trading or a good faith security deposit for a 50/50 split of the profits. I was laid off in the beginning of February and have experience daytrading index options so this sounded like a great way to make money. I paid him $100 for training, platform usage and commissions which he later said would be credited back to me as commissions were going to also be split 50/50 under the new trading account he was setting up with CQG. He owes me just shy of $400 for two days of trading. He called me up a few weeks ago and told me his partner left leaving him in the red and he was trying to come up with the money to pay his traders. I got a bunch of emails from him saying he would call and/or email me to explain developments further. He would never call when he said he would, if at all. I last spoke with him on 5/29/11. I am afraid of a larger scam inthe works as he now has my social security #, driver's license # and birth date. I know he does not owe me much, but, I have a one year old to feed!
