I’m not sure if this person is active here on FF, but I want to bring up a case that scammed me badly.
The name is Oliver Murphy, running under Altraforex and selling the so-called Eagle Scalper indicator.

  1. On August 20, 2025 I paid him 180 USDT (TRC20) for the product.
  2. On August 21 he sent me the activation link and again confirmed the 14-day money-back guarantee.
  3. On August 22 (just one day later) I already requested a refund via email because the product did not perform anywhere near the claims.
  4. He first ignored my messages, then invented excuses like “crypto is non-refundable,” which directly contradicts his written guarantee. Finally, he even lied by saying I was outside the 14-day window — which is false.

I have full email and screenshot proof of the entire timeline.
Not sure if Oliver Murphy / Altraforex has an account here, but in my eyes this is a clear scammer that fits perfectly in this Hall of Shame.
Please be careful — their “14-day money-back guarantee” is nothing more than a marketing trap.

I want to update everyone regarding my case with Oliver Murphy / Altraforex and the Eagle Scalper indicator. After I posted my experience on review sites and forex forums, he finally processed a full refund. This clearly shows that without public pressure, he had no intention of honoring his so-called 14-day money-back guarantee. I’m glad I got my money back, but everyone should still be very cautious.

Anyone know what kind of sorcery this is? Multiple profiles, most of them created around the same time, featuring attractive women, buddying up with each other, and dropping messages in threads that are clearly AI-generated, acting like they know something about trading.

After ignoring a couple, I started getting “ignored” notifications from the rest of the crew.

These are just some of them. There are probably more.

My guess is they’re just waiting for some poor soul to slide into their DMs, and then whatever scam they’ve got cooking kicks in.

I mean, this is so painfully obvious that I had to think twice about reporting them. Honestly, if someone’s dumb enough to fall for this, maybe trading really isn’t their thing—and maybe they deserve a wake-up call to the head.

Have you ever heard of SmartAlpha, Ray ("de Medici" lol), CompassFX, or Institutional Equivalent Education? The whole group, the excessive secrecy, and the silence surrounding the entire business are pretty suspicious. The legal concerns behind it make it seem even more questionable. Ray's institutional background is very likely just a scam. I. Summary of "Ray's" SmartAlpha as a Client...

So we are waiting for the Follow Up
Ray's identity has been uncovered and will be revealed in the next article. Stay tuned!

Time to reveal or PM me the details please ty

Not sure how this is not a scam, guy is 'testing' EAs that he found, but only testing the one, which he is clearly selling that doesn't work as noted by other members, when I mentioned it he blocked me from posting.

in my point of view, if i have a profitable EA, i don't need sell it, just offering it free after a trader open an account through my IB link
