The scamster Adrian Shiroma apparently has a new broker.\u00a0 I'm not too sure what happened to MitsuiFX.com, but that domain is now redirecting to Shatori.com.\u00a0 This is just the latest development in the ongoing story of this “Spanish” scam.<\/p>\n

The original report that I wrote on Adrian can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0 Then I found out from a Trading Heroes reader that Adrian is using a broker called MitsuiFX.\u00a0 You can read the looong post with the evidence of why I think it's a total scam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then recently, Dragonportis alerted me that MitsuiFX has been changed to Shatori.\u00a0 Just out of the blue, doesn't seem to be any explanation.<\/p>\n

Let's see what they are up to now…<\/p>\n

Here is what the old MitsuiFX website looked like:<\/h2>\n

\"Mitsui<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Here is what the “new” Shatori website looks like:<\/h2>\n

\"shatori\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adrian didn't even bother to change the design.\u00a0 There is even the big space next to “Regulated” where they had to take out the “NFA” part.<\/a>\u00a0 Why not, Adrian is still running his blog on a free Blogger blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I never noticed this before, but there is evidence that this is a scam out of Bulgaria.\u00a0 Super sketchy that you have to convert your USD to BGN (Bulgarian Lev) every time you deposit and withdraw. But they do make it easy to “make a deposit” via credit card.\u00a0 How convenient…for them.<\/p>\n

Check it, this is on the “Live Accounts” page:
\n\"funds-deposit\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our friend Dragonportis from the last post even went so far as to try to sign up for an account.\u00a0 Here is what he found:
\n\"dragonportis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interesting, what is the angle?\u00a0 Identity theft?\u00a0 Not too sure.<\/p>\n

Finally, here is what Adrian's website looks like now.\u00a0 He changed the terms a little, but the idea is the same.\u00a0 Just for the record, that account that he is tracking with MyFxBook is up +117% as of today.\u00a0 But it is still NOT verified.\u00a0 This text has been Google Translated for us English speakers:
\n\"shatori-adrian-shiroma\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I'd like to think that they have had to make these changes because of what I am writing, but I'm not sure.\u00a0 Anyway, that is the latest news…stay away!<\/p>\n

I haven't heard from all the spammers from the first post<\/a> in awhile.\u00a0 Where are all you guys now?<\/p>\n

UPDATE (10\/12\/2012):<\/strong> The scammers have now resorted to writing totally false articles about me online, saying that I have been convicted of unspeakable acts.\u00a0 I'm working on getting them removed, but I have struck a nerve and these guys mean business!<\/p>\n
