Hi Chris,
I'm new here too, I just joined to reply to your post.

I too have been getting calls from Global Trading 1000 for a number of months now. They just keep calling back with more flexible offers, all of which I have declined. In the original calls last year, they were not very forthcoming with information about their company. I would ask questions regarding the names of the main people behind it and what it was called prior to March last year, but the answers I got when I kept pushing them were that it was a matter before the courts and therefore they could not give me that information and I didn't really need to know it. I can tell you this did not exactly give me a warm and cosy feeling of confidence in them.

My main sticking point with them is that I keep telling them that I would not pay out thousands of dollars to them without first being able to see their system running in real time as bets were placed etc so that I could verfiy their results. They have consistently refused to do this. They just point me to their last years results page of their website, with assurances that it would be illegal for them to publish results that weren't true. They have also offered the most lame reasons as to why I can't see it running first before paying thousands of dollars.

I can't help but feel that if the system was as good as they say it is then they would have no problem letting me see it operating for a 'free trial' period of some kind, after which i would be really eager to join up. But until that happens I will keep my scepticism and my money.
