The transcripts about evolves around Ran Cohen and the agency he started with Eli Sofer and Eyal Nissanian.  It is important to realize this is not a one-agent wrong doing but a common Easy-Forex way of operation.  The transcript below is with one of Easy-Forex customer and how he lost his money.  

Dan:  Eric, hello, this is Dan

Eric:  Who?

Dan:  Dan, Uri’s friend.  We tried to speak to you yesterday but it didn’t work out.

Eric:  Yes.

Dan:  Do you have 5 minus for me?

Eric:  Yes.

Dan:  I understand you traded yourself in Easy-Forex

Eric:  Yes.

Dan:  When was this?

Eric:  If I am not mistaken it was 2005.

Dan:  And you took a course there?

Eric:  No, no course.

Dan:  Alone.

Eric:  Alone.

Dan:  And your agent was?

Eric: Raviv/

Dan:  Raviv.  Now, I understood from Uri that he helped you getting into trades,

Eric: Ahh, what does it mean helped me.  Since I was not from this field I always asked him.  Ahh… There was a trade, if I remember correctly, it was the first trade-on the day I deposited money in Easy-Forex.  They told me that a specific currency, I don’t remember which, is going to take over another currency.  I placed 2,000$ on this deal and every thing collapsed.

Dan:  All the 2000$ were lost.

Eric: Yes.

Dan:  Now, this didn’t take place in a second I assume.

Eric: No, it was in one day.

Dan:  Ahh, one day.  All at once.

Eric: He said they are all together in this position.

Dan:  What do you mean all together?

Eric: That is, every one of them. They are together taking this trade.  I don’t remember, what was about to happen, some event.  He told me the dollar, I don’t remember what currency it was.

Dan:  All together you mean Easy-Forex?

Eric: Yes, the guys there.

Dan:  They themselves traded.

Eric: Yes.

Dan:  They went into this specific trade.

Eric: Yes.

Dan:  And during this trade did you contact him again’ to ask what is going on, listen I am losing, or there was no time for that.

Eric: No, it was on Friday and on Saturday night or Sunday it was all gone.  I asked him what is going on? All at once?  He said what can we do, we didn’t expect this… we lost too.

Dan:  Tell me, when he told you, he told you I recommend you take this deal or did he gave you a such feeling that is a safe thing.

Eric: I can’t tell you some thing that took place two three years ago, what were his exact words, but you know, since I didn’t come from this field, I asked for his advice and he said this is a way to get a good strike right at the beginning.  Maybe these were not his exact words but in other words, but this was the style.  And it was there, when I was in their offices, in Ramat Gan, this is when I took this deal.

Dan:  You took this deal from their office?

Eric: Yes.

Dan:  You took the deal from their office.

Eric: Yes.

Dan:  And Raviv helped you execute the deal.

Eric: Yes, and there was another person there, red headed guy.

Dan:  And the helped you execute the deal.

Eric: Yes, the showed me also for the first time how to execute a deal (on the computer)

Dan:  OK, and who typed-in the parameters?  That is, the values?

Eric: I don’t really remember.

Dan:  Was it you or someone else?

Eric: I don’t remember to tell you, but even if it was them, I authorized it, it wasn’t like they had a gun to my head.

Dan:  No of course not, but it gives us the feeling how things took place, since it is not the first case that we know of, that they, with their own hands, made deals to people.

Eric: Listen, not in their hands they made this deal, but let’s say they were very persuasive, they were very persuasive and since it was not my field I was convinced, especially when he said I am also in this deal and my friends here, we are all together in this trade.

Dan:  And that that? After this 2000$ you went out of this story?

Eric: No, I had more money there….. I used to ask him what do you recommend, and he would tell me, take this currency, take this currency against this currency, and this is how I lost the rest of the money.  After that I put more money and started to play, and I realized this is not for me so I stopped.  I asked him if there is some that can trade for me for fee, and he said that with this kind of sums its not possible and only starting 25,000$-30,000$.  This is how I stopped.

Dan:  Do you remember how much you lost?

Eric: I estimate something like 3,000$-4,000$

Dan:  From what I understand from you, most of the trades were according to their recommendations.

Eric: Yes, through Raviv recommendations.

Dan:  Was it only Raviv or were there other you talked to?

Eric: No, only with Raviv.  I was in continuous contact.

Dan:  I understand.  Tell me, do you know how they got paid there?  Do you know the story now?  Do you understand?

Eric:  No, really nothing.

Dan:  Do you want to know how Raviv made his salary?

Eric:  I am willing to listen

  

Here I explained to him about the Net deposited method and about the conflict of interest Easy-Forex have with respect to their clients.
