Default Forex Online Group

Has anyone had trouble with a loved one who joined an online Forex trading group to learn a sytem and then began to act oddly about money (he gets online immediately after, before, and (illegally) during work, takes vacations that he spends doing nothing but trading (well, listening to the group leader talk about it anyway), and he's moved money from joint accounts to who-knows-where)? I think the group is based out of Florida, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any feedback.

Default Forex

Is a hard way to make a living, but it can be done. Forex is a 24 hour market so he does not have to do it while he works. If he moved money from a joint account that you share. You should find out where your money has gone to. Don't be judge mental, but you really should know where your money is at. I do forex myself, and when I started, even with a lot of help and reading books I lost a lot money. I am doing good now, but it does take time. You should really go with him or ask him to show you what he is doing so you can understand better.

Hi, Cool. I did start exploring Forex with him, but trading doesn't appeal to me. I don't have that kind of personality. He is a very intelligent man, so if his online group's system is any good I'm sure he can learn it and be successful, but it's not for me.

We are divorcing now and his reported cash balance is significantly lower than it was before he started moving money. I did try asking him what happened, but by then we were too estranged for him to want to tell me. He'd just get angry and try to intimidate me.

When I first posted I was worried that he hadn't just hidden the money but was being ripped off or set up by strangers he has come to trust on the internet. Men facing midlife crises are vulnerable.

I do realize now that I should have been more aggressive about keeping track of my money, but I wasn't. A lot of wives aren't until it's too late because we focus on other things first. I've learned a lesson.

I've also realized that whether or not his group is legit isn't my concern anymore.

Thanks for your suggestions and concern. I hadn't really considered that he might just have lost the money as part of the learning process. Go figure.
