Froto Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Have you parted with any money? If not, than you have no standing in this investment and should move on if you feel its a scam. This forum is for news about the investment not a place to dump your negativity. Go play in someone else's pool. Yes, I paid the REAL exchange rate and am earning interest on it. How is my advice above bad? I think my post fits the "Opinions, Perspectives, and Your Two Cents on the Iraqi Dinar" section. Don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaG Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ask George Soros if he thinks currency investing is a scam. I would think not!!! Quit listening to the hype "tomorrow for sure" and you will stop being disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepmwlknfny Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Definately not a scam.....a chance to make a profit is what it is....currency exchange is real....people do it everyday but usually electronically.....the only reason why people might start thinking its a scam is cause its very possible we will only make a small gain on this....the chances of us waking up millionares is slim to none but still there is a chance....regardless the dinar will raise in value at some point....the big question is HOW they will have it appreciate.....whether they will LOP and then raise the value, or if it will be a straight up RV is the million dollar question....but its not a scam...... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasantvalleySunday Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow I appalled that the crybabies seem to out number the even-keeled here lol NOT a scam by definition ..... UNLESS you bought it with your last dime and expected it to turn into an overnight windfall. But, in that case you just scammed yourself, can't blame anyone else. I see this as a possible opportunity for some out there who may have not particularly liked or paid attention in school to get off the "poor me" train and improve your life skills/situation .... in whatever highly moral and upstanding way you can and stay off the forums for a while, in fact do what has been suggested before ... toss your dinar into the sock drawer and go about the business of making the best life you can for you and your family under what are undoubtedly trying times. bless you all, pvS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captjohn Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) how many of you have really check out this, could we all be getting scamed by the biggest scam in history? I have heard romors that it is possible, but I feel that this has been going on for way to long that it could have been missed as a scam. add what you fell and your opinion here lets see what every one thinks about how real this is. always remmeber spend only what you feel you can loss if everything works out against you. so lets hear what you have to say! If we have been scammed, then every major world gov't along with us has been scammed as well. Can you imagine the rain of hurt that will fall on Iraq if they have been toying with the world? I know they are crazy, but I do not believe they are suicidal. Edited January 10, 2011 by Captjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanewayne Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Scam –noun 1. a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, esp. for making a quick profit; swindle. Scam??? I think not. Currency exchange. Yeah. No offense to the original poster, but I'm so sick of the word "scam" being associated with Iraq Dinar. I know where your coming from and the word scam was probably at the top of your head, but I cant stand when people say its a scam. I could live with "bad investment" or even, "your a dumbass". But this indeed is absolutely, positively not a scam at all. At worst, its speculative gambling. Hang in there peeps. We all know major changes in Iraq JUST happened and its turning a new leaf over there. SOMETHING is bound to happen with our dinars soon. The game is totally different from the end of 2010 and now. 2003-2010 mean nothing compared to now. Tuck your Dinar away and sit on it. Go RV!! Papa needs some new limited edition Nike Hyper Dunk 2015's!!! My freind it was only a question as I said this is romor, I only want to know if you thought yes and why or just a simple no I am like you and every one else hopping for the best for all. I want you to know that we all would like to be able to say with deffant belief that some thing it what it is, but at the end would you feel that same way if it goes up and still could not cash in your dinar. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THAN? how many of you have really check out this, could we all be getting scamed by the biggest scam in history? I have heard romors that it is possible, but I feel that this has been going on for way to long that it could have been missed as a scam. add what you fell and your opinion here lets see what every one thinks about how real this is. always remmeber spend only what you feel you can loss if everything works out against you. so lets hear what you have to say! I did say I heard ROMORS. ROMORS is the key word, this was only a qusetion to boogle the mind. So many people have bought into this and yes govenments too (but governments can wait longer than any one). I only asked this to see where every one stands. YES I feel the same as all of you there is a possiblity to make money that is why I got in and feel that the BBB would not have let a crimal use them as a backer.

Tiffany23 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 But it had been pirty much built in 8 years I always wondered about that quote, so I looked it up: Rome was founded around 750 BC. It did not become "Rome" as we imagine it -- one of the most important and powerful cities in world history until about 250 BC. So about 500 years, give or take. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_… Put me in the camp of definitely not a scam (that is, if you bought from a reputable dealer), but definitely a medium risky asset with a potential large payoff. I say medium, because it is doubtful that the currency will get much lower. I'm working on my asset allocation risk assessment using the sharpe ratio, so far my research has determine it to be slightly more risky than a mutual fund made up of emerging markets stocks. It is riskier because you don't have the diversification of more than one country, also you have a significant part of the industry that is based on natural resources, which are by nature, very volatile. I have taken into account the ability to bring the natural resources to market with limited infrastructure/transportation systems in place (but with multi-billion dollar companies sponsoring such projects) and the current outstanding (M2) money supply (that's personally my biggest concern, the little bugger is very hard to track). This is clearly speculation on my part and based on facts that I've gleamed from such giants like Adam, Scooter, Doc, Mr. Rich and our esteem Mods. Which please understand, I do not speak for, as I'm but a dwarf in comparison to these subject matter experts. Saying that, modern portfolio theory would suggest that you put no more than 5% of your wealth in such venture. That's my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On_Reserve Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is a 'legal' business -- selling dinar. No scam. This gets a bit tiring ... perhaps, for the uninitiated, it appears you have been duped. BUT, you need to educate yourself. No one ever guaranteed that you would make money. You are listening to the wrong people. Did you read Adam's book? No guarantees. I like the investment ... but I haven't given up working. And, worst case, I'll lose a few thousand dollars if everything goes south. As it is now, today, I could get back about 95% of my investment if I needed the money next week. Really, people that keep coming back to the idea of 'scam' are uninformed. Basically, your own mind is scamming you and you need to further your education. You will be better served to get off of the message boards and 'cash in' when notified. Don't worry, you'll hear of the RV if/when it happens. Or, sell out and get (most of) your money back.

hurricanewayne Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Look everone has their owen opinion and freedom of speach, all I did was ask the question , I never said I thought this was a scam, PLease don't misquot me! If the question is one you don't want to answer than don't if you going to be a jerk in your answer don't boughter putting it. questions are to get infored about possiblities, not for people to be jerks at every turn to those who have a question to ask.

doc9574 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I spent way more $ and got way less return on my education. Guess I was scammed :lol: :lol: Of course its a scam, ya cant take it with ya when ya go so how bad is that. Its frikkin gambling is what it is, and you always have the potential for loss in gambling but then again isn't every business venture a gamble. If you would have bought the new dinar when it first came out you would have by now more than doubled you money. would you call that a scam. No its not a scam but it is a gamble so put on your poker face and call the bluff. We will see, we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguerunner Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeh,,my brother says it is. I will let him know when I'm the Millionaire.....lol. I don't believe it is...my father and some very knowledgeable people are into this....and my father is a smart businessman. Don't think he would do this if it were a scam. So ,,,yes,,,I'm sure it's real. BTW...even if it never RV's.....we wont' lose any money. We can sell it back for what we paid for it..no money lost if you bought from a reliable source. I consider it a very high earning savings account. THAT 'S RIGHT YOU GUYS!!! SIT BACK AND BE PATIENT. LET THE GAMES BEGIN...!!!! I PLAN ON HAVING FUN WITH THIS!

Teresa82 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Nope, not a scam. It's real currency, banks are selling it. It's worth what you knew it was worth when YOU bought it. If you did your homework before buying it, YOU KNEW it was speculation. Is gambling in Vegas a scam? NO, it's just Vegas, you know it's a gamble before you play. YOUR CHOICE. Can't use the word scam. You can sell it back. The Iraqi Dinar will rise in value eventually. The time & system it takes to get it there, no one knows, but that does not make it a scam. It just make Iraq slow! GO RV! YUP!

TimS Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Scam, house of cards, con or ponzi scheme....take your pick? You will not know until it's over, one way or another. Who is to say that every site selling dinar are not connected? That every pumper out there does not work for the same "group" who is running the con? Unless some one flips, no one is going to admit to anything......all the time knowing everyone invested will seem outraged at the mere thought of the RV being a fraud. Those that ask questions, show doubt or just come out and say this is too good to be true and therefore is obviously not will be bashed out of fear by those invested......it could even be that Adam is part of the con. How does anyone know if he has actually spent anytime at all doing any post RV research? It could be just another piece to the con. Also, pumpers may not just be the type that watch the news and pass on, or twist or embellish it.....and make any tidbit seem relavent to an RV, there would also be the type that bash any nay sayer and constantly try to cast doubt towards anyone trying to put forth accurate or factual information.Oh, yes.....this could be one giant con BUT I THINK NOT..... I know that Iraq has the number two oil reserves and will soon be the number one producer, since Saudia Arabia is all explored out. I know that Iraq has the number one gas reserves in the world and I know the world needs more and more oil everyday. And since the US cares more about some caribou, we won't be tapping the vast reserves in Alaska anytime soon. I also know that Iraq has kicked out thier murderous dictator with our help and wishes to get back into the political arena and world trade markets They need their currency to be valued in order to gain purchasing power on that world stage. Some will say that is not necessarily true....look at China. Forget it.... apples to oranges my friends......Than you have the "secrets" issue. That being, if this was a scam, look at how many secrets it would mean have to be kept......for years. People just can't keep secrets, not in the long run....look at Wikileaks and they are leaking things that are classified by governments as top secret and they can't be kept. Surely, after 7 years of this being a fraud, it would be out by now? Look at the list of things that would have to be kept secret in the upper paragraph ....the facts just don't add up, no way and NO SCAM! IMO GO RV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
