Looks like this hit my junk mail today and I don't see anything about it in here. I haven't confirmed this as a scam email but I've already reported it to North Finance and it's pretty obvious.
I normally just flush these when I get them for my ebay account, paypal account, checking account, yadda yadda... however this is the first time I've ever seen one specifically directed at me as an IB for other companies.

Pretty obvious that it's a scam, but for the... less intelligent forex traders DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION. For them to know that I'm a forex trader means they've at least done that bit of homework, or they are completely shooting in the dark and it hit me.
I hate to read about people being scammed and I've already forwarded the email to North Finance to alert them. Figured posting a warning here was easier than posting a reply to the "Help I got scammed" post.
