    They claim that they are a member of the NFA (on their "About us" page).

    A search on the NFA website using their name revealed that they are not registered. Here is what the NFA says about that:

    IF YOU HAVE ENTERED AN NFA ID THAT YOU ARE CERTAIN IS CORRECT AND "NO CURRENT STATUS" DISPLAYS, YOU MAY BE DEALING WITH AN INDIVIDUAL OR FIRM NOT REGISTERED WITH THE CFTC AND NOT AN NFA MEMBER. CONDUCTING FUTURES-RELATED BUSINESS WITH INDIVIDUALS OR FIRMS WHO ARE NOT CFTC REGISTRANTS AND NOT NFA MEMBERS COULD CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS.

    Virtually all individuals and firms who conduct futures-related business with the public must be registered with the CFTC and be NFA Members. Under most circumstances, it is unlawful for firms or individuals, who are not CFTC registrants and are not NFA Members, to conduct futures business with public customers. If you think you are dealing with an individual or firm not registered with the CFTC and not an NFA Member, please inform NFA by going to ,a href="http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/Complaint.aspx">File a Complaint or by calling NFA's Information Center at (800) 621-3570 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time.

    I suggest that the next time you speak them ask them for their NFA ID (this is another way to search the NFA website). Or, just go ahead a file a complaint with the NFA directly.

    Thank you for letting us know.
