I was rung out of the blue asking me to invest in foreign exchange by a pommy bloke who knew nothing about foreign exchange. Ive been trading for years and I know FX well. He on the other hand tried to use slimy pushy tatics to convince me to put a huge amount of money into a risky investment with no warnings but heaps of promises. Ive check up with these guys and its coincidental that they are in the same building as Winchester Securites, another scam foreign exchange seller linked to Mark Power who ASIC burned and banned. Ive looked at the ASIC records and Darren Gene Pattison is a major shareholder and Director of both.... funny that hey ? Stay clear of The Association of Trading Professionals, they are a total scam. I cant understand how the AFSL owner could authorize them.

- Winchester Securities had liquidators appointed in late May 2013. They ironically peddle life-time membership to their FX trading system. Then all of a sudden the company folds and has a re-birth with a new name and they re-sell their same flakey systems all over again to the same old gullible people. Confirming Pattison is definately shareholder of both ABN's Dont know how ASIC let them get away with it ?

- Absolutely Kiwichap,! I have submitted two separate reports to ASIC with evidence that Darren Pattison was running fraudulent 'trading firms'. ASIC, including their legal head in Melbourne, is so inept that the regulator is actually criminally complicit in allowing these psychopaths to continue decimating the lives of mostly trusting pensioners.

There are a number of worthless paper companies associated with this FX. Gold and Oil futures scam. They are all linked via directorship to 3 main players ... Darren Gene Pattison , Grant McLoughlin & Jamie Digby.
The companies include :
“Winchester Securities” ABN 35 150 946 231 (now insolvent)
“Global Income Solutions PTY Ltd' ABN 31 159 968 975
“The Association of Trading Professionals” ABN 33 162 055 361
“The ATP Australia Pty Ltd” ABN 23 165 453 725
"The AUGUSTA GROUP PTY LTD" ACN 165 856 762
Their websites to be scammed by include :
www.theatp.com.au
www.theassociationoftradingprofessionals.com
www.gisolutions.com.au
They all follow a similar formula of a membership fee combined with a managed trading account which is controlled by them.
People are pressured to signup there are then, one-off fees are paid , trading money is paid into an FX account which is controlled by the traders, money starts to disappear from trading accounts, when the traders are asked to account for losses the traders no longer take calls.
The scam works over and over again....
