Review of bullseyetraders.com and Franz Shoar. Buyer beware.

I know at one point or another, we all go searching for the holy grail only to later find it does not exist.

I've been there and done that.

I only wish I had researched on forums and the internet before falling into the traps of those that prey on newbies.

Here's a link to a thread on elitetrader. It's a good thread with actual proof of a scam artist hard at work. His name is Franz Shoar and I ran into him while he was still at Traders International doing his sham. He is on his own now, but the shill continues.

The bottom line is to always do your homework before buying ANY major trading related purchase. There is no grail and there is no 'set it and forget it' system out there for the average trader. And if it was, it would not be on sale for 4 or 5 grand.

In the end, use common sense - if you had the grail as many of the services try to sell you, would you sell it for a lousy 5 grand? That's it?!?!? That's what the grail is worth? .....

So this post has a dual purpose:
1) Let the TL forum see that this scam artist, Franz Shoar of bullseyetraders.com is a joke and couldn't trade if his life depended on it.

2) Just a friendly reminder that when you get an email of some service promising the world for a very, very small relative 'investment' please think twice.

Thanks for the post Brownsfan. Perhaps TL needs to create a new page for a list of scammers and spammers.

It wouldn't hurt to have an area for this kind of stuff.

I'll save you the effort: just don't buy anything trading related. Never. Why? See below:

Nobody in their right mind would give you anything valuable related to trading. It just doesn't make any sense. You can make so much more money trading if you had a good strategy. If they tell you they are selling it because they want to help you, they are lying. If that was really true, then they would just give it away for free, but then of course, they wouldn't do it.

I read some good advice a few years ago re those selling systems etc. because they want to 'help you', simply check if their halo is, in fact, real.

Hi guys,

I can not believe the price for some of these systems; it is nuts. The only way to justify 3 to $5,000 is a professional trader/teacher sitting next to someone for a week or two and teaching how to trade live. Well, maybe.

Plenty of stuff about Franz out there.

That's not even his real name, BTW.

He's a rug salesman from Baltimore.
