NPL Smart Trends platform, anyone using it?

I too purchased the program over 6months ago and even spoke to ASIC before the purchase (they said they were a registered business in Australia). Immediately after the purchase of the program I lodged a 'scam' with Scamwatch and have never been provided a follow up, advice or any contact.

I understand I made the mistake of purchasing the 'scam', however, I believe that the Australian Government could have done more to protect the vulnerable people that made a purchase following my lodgement on the Scam Watch website. How would others be alerted to the scam?? If the ASIC / Scam Watch website listed 'NPL' as a scam, people would have been convinced not to purchase...

The Govt (ASIC) had the ability to close their back accounts down, websites and registered business they were using to fulfil the scam.

Hey Dean
Sorry to hear about your experience.I bought in early February and did the suggested paper trading for a couple of weeks.I did receive some help from the support team in London for a few months.Then all of a sudden nothing.................did you pay for the end of day prices from industry-data.com?....That cost me another $799.00 for a lifetime subscription.I went to download the end of day prices only to find my account was suspended.The phone numbers were all disconnected and any sent emails bounced back to me.I have reported this to Scam watch and have received a reply

Hi Dean
I agree this should have been listed as a scam on the Scam Watch website.Sorry to hear about your experience.Did you even get to use the package?I bought it in early February.I didn’t realise it was a scam until I went to down load the end of day prices in early September from NPL suggested data company..industry-data.com and found my account was suspended.This cost me a extra $799 fee for a lifetime subscription.This wasn’t made clear to me at the time I purchased the package of course.i have been unable to contact NPL or their support team.All phone numbers are disconnected and my emails bounce back.They seem to have vanished in thin air..no doubt to return under a new name sometime soon.

The only system that I would pay money for, if buying a system, would be Nick Radge genuine system, from Nick Radge himself.

Even licenced by ASIC to my understanding.
Genuine reputation.
Lots of reviews.
All verifiable.
All that from reading this forum.
Enough genuine comments from long time posters says it all.
Scammers don't hang around long...fly by night, not sure how they fly now? Broomsticks I guess.

Good luck.

Paper traded for a month and was happy, and is just over 2 weeks in with real skin in the game and apparently looking like hitting the 10% mark for 2 consecutive months (1 month of paper trade and 2 weeks of real trades). However Dow smashed down 6.9% last night, so interesting to see how the next 2 weeks go as the last 10 weeks have been all up. I've asked if it offers up long and short trades as imagine it would be recommending to short next week?? No reply as yet.
The biggest negative indicator I'm getting (Apart from the outlandish 10% claims) is that no one is coming on here and saying they use it. Which makes me think their clients are people who have zero trading experience, they pay 15K for a program that they lose money on, after 3 to 6 months, they cash their chips in, decide the markets are rigged and never trade again, hence dont stay in forums to comment, and turn their backs on the markets. If this was any good, surely people would be commenting?

Yeah me too. fell for their bull**** and feel quite stupid. David61 I've done a bit of research on them. It's a pretty tangled financial web they've weaved. I'm sure there's plenty out there they've conned, but they have a bot that somehow suppresses any info (reviews etc.) being shared on the web. Would like to pm you, maybe compare experience.

I resigned to the fact that I will never see the money again. Ive made the cost back by trading in shares on my own.

I honestly thought the government could do more to stop this or at least warn people about it. Particularly when they had an ANZ bank account setup for people to pay money into. Surely they would have a way to track the scoundrels down.

Perhaps its worth taking this further with scam watch, ASIC and the bank.

These people deserve to be hung - I am reporting it to every scam watch/crimestoppers there are.

Update on NPL / New Vision / Central Trade and all the other names they use. I have been contacted by the Brisbane fraud squad. Apparently they had the "boiler room" operating there. Whilst they don't give too much away, I believe the cops have nabbed them and are building a case. It was made clear to me though the chance of recouping funds is virtually zilch. Good to know they may go to the can (until they get out and do it all again).
