Hello friends,
Am new to the world of forex and am hoping to get some advice in the area of forex education. I came across a job description by AKFinancials for the position of trainee trader. The trainer says they are opening an office in my city and are hiring urgently.
The premise is you pay USD 1500 to join their 4-month training program. You pass the training by earning 5% in a month. The trainer says it is impossible to earn less than 5% a month if you follow his rules. If you pass, you will be hired to trade for them in their local office. If you trade with them for a year, you get a refund of the USD 1500. If you get a drawdown of 10% anytime, you will be fired.
Has anyone traded with AKFinancials before? How is the quality of the education? I am skeptical because I have heard of unscrupulous trainers who find ways to make you fail the course so you can never get the refund. Moreover the company is registered in Seychelles which is ringing some alarm bells. Coincidentally (or not), the office is also opening at the same time of the course completion, which seems too good to be true.
If anyone has any knowledge or experience to share with this company, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!
that sounds crazy to me. It doesnāt even sound right, and why would you even want to do that?
there was a post saying something about Seychelles a couple of days ago. RUN AWAY
Did he add ātrust me!ā?
Why does this come to mindā¦ā¦ā¦.
I stopped here and said no thanks.
You better learn Forex trading and earn money by yourself. This is the right way. 
Itās wrong! There is no guarantee, and professional traders donāt use this kind of language.
Although, itās a challenging profession but Forex is more profitable than any other business or job.

Hello all,
Thanks for the replies. Initially I was surprised at the skepticism, but then I went to do some googling and realized the tons of bad reviews about AKFinancials and the founder Anastasios Katsoulakos.
Apparently the āopening an office in your country and immediately hiringā hook is total fiction. Iām surprised the job boards have so little screening done against such scams.
And this Katsoulakos guy also copies and pastes notes from free websites and brands them as his own, and is distributing ātrading in the zoneā illegally. One site also mentioned he was reported to the Greek IP police lol.
Iām embarrassed I even asked this question in the first place, but Iām glad you guys alerted me of such scams. So long, Anastasios Katsoulakos, Iām saving my 1500!
