{"id":53365,"date":"2020-09-09T12:00:00","date_gmt":"2020-09-09T17:00:00","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/priceactiontradingsystem.com\/?p=53365"},"modified":"2026-08-07T20:58:41","modified_gmt":"2026-08-08T01:58:41","slug":"counterfeit-manuals-and-bogus-scammers","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/priceactiontradingsystem.com\/counterfeit-manuals-and-bogus-scammers\/","title":{"rendered":"Counterfeit Manuals and Bogus Scammers"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last couple of weeks, I have been approached by a few different traders asking questions about their manuals due to the fact that the materials made absolutely no sense at all. Most either sent a copy of the area in question from the manual with the original email, or else they sent a snap shot when I asked them to clarify it with a screen shot of the area in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon looking at the information, it was immediately apparent that they were not our materials. They look similar and they are using our likeness and name, but they are not our materials and you are basically wasting time studying bogus materials. Do not buy our products from anywhere but our website or you are likely going to be scammed. There is even a guy on Reddit offering people a &#8220;discounted&#8221; copy through private messages. He is just scamming you, so avoid him unless you want to waste time studying incorrect materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is bad enough for someone to try and buy our materials on the cheap someplace else or even worse, download a &#8220;supposed&#8221; free copy, but to then come to me for help after you bought from some scammer, I just do not have the words to describe how difficult that is to comprehend. The levels some people will go to save a few dollars is astounding. I will say that most of you are decent and honorable people, but there are definitely some unscrupulous types out there. If you choose to go through scammers and underground sellers to buy your materials, then understand you are likely going to be scammed out of your hard earned money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I contemplated even making this post. I should just let people continue to waste their money and time buying from scammers, but after thinking it over, I believe the right thing to do is make people aware. Just know that if you download a free or paid copy from anywhere but this website, then you are most likely getting a counterfeit and bogus copy of our manuals and you will likely end up with a virus as well. Our official materials are not available anywhere but on our website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going forward I will likely be changing the way I answer trading questions. I know this punishes those of you that are honest and doing the right thing, but at some point, I have to get a handle on all of this. I am not sure exactly how I am going to approach this just yet, but it is something I am seriously researching and and working towards at this point. I am also working on some new and updated materials that will take the learning of price action to a new level. Creating these new materials and the new process takes time and a lot of it, so it is slow going for now, but it is coming in the near future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main purpose of this post is to make people aware that if you purchase or obtain our materials from anywhere but our website, then you are likely being scammed and not getting an authentic copy, nor are you likely getting the correct information. Even worse, most of the free offers simply infect you with a virus that will cost you even further frustrations and wasted time, and maybe even the loss of your personal and financial information. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last couple of weeks, I have been approached by a few different traders asking questions about their manuals due to the fact that the materials made absolutely no sense at all.
