Had to revive this thread because it is important for people to understand what companies like GlobalEye and Deveres are all about. They are making money by pretending to offer sound financial advice when in reality they are only trained in 'salesmanship'.
Pilots are the worst victims of such schemes because we make decent money, are grouped together in an easy to access database (such as crew lists etc) and in places like Dubai, we are searching for investment opportunities, without a true knowledge of financial services in our present location.
Companies like Deveres and GlobalEye anger me because they take advantage of people. They are so clever knowing what to say and what not to say, to entice people into making bad financial decisions.
What Deveres and GlobalEye do NOT offer, IMHO, is;
-sound financial advice
-investment opportunities otherwise not available without their 'take' of your contributions
-follow-up service after you sign on the dotted line
-educated and honest professionals who have your best interest in mind
GlobalEye is undergoing a concerted campaign targeting EK pilots (and to a lesser extent EK cabin crew), which will last about one year. Once they have tapped this resource, they will move on to their next target.
The best advice you might ever receive regarding your financial future, is to stay away from companies like these. At all costs, never ever let them into your home or visit their offices, because they do one thing very well.... 'take advantage of human nature' to promote themselves in spite of the fact they offer you nothing in return.
