I don't know if this is a scam or not. I joined and sure enough "made" $250. Opened an account with the brokerage company and deposited money. After that nothing. Contacted them and they said I didn't join through their link but that wasn't very clear. Got my money back and opened another account. Tried to contact them confirming that I had joined through their link. Nothing. Now I haven't lost any money so no problem. I figured out how they made money, they were an affiliate for the brokerage company and I have no problem with that. They have a great website but if dosen't work what's the point.
