You're wasting your time and money. All you'll achieve is adding stress to your life and removing what little spare cash, if any, from your depleted bank account as the lawyers milk what they can.

Walk away and put it down to 'experience'. Naivety, greed or a combination of both, those that swallowed the hype of these fraudsters and from their very own 'colleagues', have gained nothing other than a harsh lesson in how a Ponzi scheme works. That so many have been so gullible to this scam leaves me speechless.

Having said that, I'm also somewhat disappointed that their employer, who must have been aware of such a scheme, did nothing to warn those less educated. Doesn't a duty of care extend to financial guidance too or was it intentional on their part to ensure a few more years of hard labour to pay off the debts? Considering the constant updates and verbiage on the cabin crew portal, would it really have been unreasonable to mention something along the lines of;

"It's been brought to our attention that many crew are reportedly investing in a foreign exchange scheme, one that's offering extremely large rates of return. Whilst we neither endorse or discourage you from investing in such a Company, we would strongly advise you to seek independent financial advise before doing so!"

Really, how difficult would that have been? May have saved a lot of pain for the very people they claim to care for!
