Description

My son had a few friends who were introduced to AAC to participate in futures trading. The more people they got to join, the more money they would make. I was uneasy at first, but I agreed to join. It was "guaranteed" money. He starts by "fronting" you the money you will eventually put in yourself; $600 or $1,500. I put in $1,500 after a week of using his money. There are 2 trades daily M-F and 1 trade daily on the weekend. He requires you to trade small (2% of your balance) saying that he wants the whole team to gradually make money and not get greedy. If there is ever a loss he will reimburse you what you lost and what you should have earned. He also encourages you to take people out to lunch or dinner and he will reimburse you for the meal (up to $35 per person) in order to recruit more people. I'm thankful that I did not recruit anyone, but he pushes and pushes to bring people on. He keeps people going for weeks/months, letting you make withdrawals (with a 10% fee to him) but you can't take out the base you started with. I was increasing my balance and was getting ready to withdrawal, when everything stopped and he closed the communication and declined any attempt at a withdrawal. Hundreds and maybe even thousands of people lost thousands of dollars. I have been trying to reach out to get my money back, even if just the amount in excess of my base and "he/Mark Johnson" won't respond. A "new" platform XAEL-AI is now sending out messages saying Mark is gone, our money is gone and if we want to start over, we have to deposit more money with promises to make more money again. I fear that people will be desperate to recoup what they lost and will do it all over believing that it isn't "Mark" when it is still the same scammer doing it all over again with a new name.
