Funds First

Asking for funds first is a glaring indicator of a fraudulent transaction.

It means that the INTERMEDIARY has not done any research into what he or she is asking; it means that someone in the line of contacts is trying to get hold of your money and that you will receive nothing in return; it means that you are being told that a TRADER, COMMITMENT HOLDER, DEALER, or some other entity has access to FRESH CUT SECURITIES from a CUTTING HOUSE and that it is required that you pay for these "securities" up front. 

It means that someone up the line wants to make very sure they have caught a trusting person who will prove their worth or expose their portfolio and part with some or all of it.
