Hi - My mom just invested in a scam involving Iraqi dinar (d i n a r t r a d e . c o m ) a couple days and just informed me. The only good news is they are going to honor her request of a refund BUT only a small fraction of the amount she invested. I have written her a brief email to copy/paste to them in an attempt to get a FULL refund and would be extremely appreciative if an experienced member could offer a critique of the brief email (its well written in my opinion)
Reply and I will PM you the brief details and the email for your editing/critique.
I'd like to have her send it by tomorrow morning, I'll be online tonight refreshing my messages here and the thread for replies.
Your help really can make a big difference for our family, I mean it.
Will give full updates. And even give your email address to my mom if you'd like- you'd definitely receive a big heartfelt thank you (she's been in tears today) Bad day.
Overwhelming appreciation in advance,
Ross |

On the plus side, dinartrade.com seems to be an actual US business. Domain was registered in 2004, which matches company info. They have a presence on google, joined the BBB in 2007. Even had a mention in USA Today at some point, talking about perfectly legal currency exchanges: http://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2004-08-03-dinars_x.htm. So you should have a few options. I'm not a lawyer, so I have no real idea what can be done, but if they have acted in bad faith then you may want to consult one. |

Yea thank you for your advice and research - they're operating legally no doubt - but a look at their T&Cs will make you laugh.
I've done some due diligence and found out the similar, it might be arguable for me to refer to it as a scam- as there still is that 0.00000000000000000001% chance that an exorbitant investment in Iraqi dinar will result in waking one morning to be a multimillionaire.
If worst comes to worst, legal consult will be the final attempt at resolution.
Thank you so much,
Ross |

Thank you all so much. I'm really happy to have stumbled across this community.

Thank you again and again
