Spyker Metals/Precious metals review: Money Missing scam 21

Anyone can print a negative article. I guarantee that you are probably a competitor of Spyker. I have had no problems with them. They have sent my money back everytime! My account is up 40% for the year. They are a 1st class company.

I have never had a problem with my account there. I receive my statements and have never had trouble when liquidating a position and having my money transferred to my e-trading account.

The two comments above must have come from Spyker Metals sales people who don't want true investors to know what is really going on. The word is getting out to the public. It is only a matter of time for the end. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... Well you know the rest. Tic. Tic. Tic...

And the person that just wrote the article above was a x-salesperson who couldnt sell and got fired and is now angry and bitter and acting like a child... Well you know the rest. Boo Hoo Hoo...

I couldn't get my money back from Spyker either. When I needed to get my money back a month ago Mike Galligano gave me the run around and told me to trust him and that I needed to buy more. Buy more metals, not until I see a check for my equities and that never happened. After several attempts to get in contact (with no luck) I found out that the clearing house had filed bankruptcy the day after someone finally called me back (Mike Galligano). That to me is just greed, selfish, evil and no cares about anyone else but themselves (Spyker)! Now many people are out of many monies because of these thieves, including myself!

I agree - they are a bunch of crooks. Mike Gagliano is a pushy arrogant thief. My father has now lost thousands to these guys. He's a senior who didn't have much to retire on, and now he's lost it all with them. They say it's the clearing house that's gone bankrupt, but I bet they are one in the same. Unbelievable! I don't understand how they sleep at night.

Spyker is a brokerage not a bank! They use over 6 different clearing firms. What happened with Certified has no reflection on Spyker, in fact, Spyker are the ones who first brought it to the attention of the FED 3 months ago and is heading a massive lawsuit against Certified for thier clients; but im sure to someone who writes ### without any factual data wouldnt actually no that because they havent actually looked into it, they just write ###!

I am a Florida attorney who is looking into this Spyker situation for a client. Please leave information and/or documentation you have regarding this matter to me at:

How come people write stuff that isnt true. My husband works for spyker and he is the most honest man I know, he would never hurt anybody. I know that most of these complaints are from ex-broker who are just trying to settle a vendetta or something. Its unfair to talk about someone when they are not there to defend themselves, i think your a bunch of cowards. If all of this is true, how come spyker has never been sued or why doesnt have any complaints with any government agency?

rmorris? Dont you mean Chip Tye an x-broker who was fired from spyker? Stop writing complaints and find a new job, loser!

Rosemary Salvagi, you are an artist in damage control, I must admit.

It is now interesting that Spyker is now caught up in the bankruptcy of one of their clearing firms, Certified Inc. United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, Case # 09-33115-BKC-RAM, filled on October 26th 2009. Spyker is named as one of the top 20 Creditors in the amount of$753, 619.20. So Much for their DUE DILIGENCE RE Clearing Firms. It is also interesting to note that Spyker’s Website discloses thet they are using a clearing firm “WORLD CLEARING” with address in London England. I have had a chance to see if this firm is registered with the British Government. —They ARE NOT! I have checked to see if they are registered with the FSA in England, a requirement for all financial institutions, —-THEY ARE NOT! I have also had someone go to visiot their offices on Throgmorton St. Guess what? –IT WAS NOT THERE! Is this not misrepresentation.

also as a side note WTF does spyker do to earn 15% of the TMV(total metal value)...process paperwork? pretend to be watching every tick of the market to make sure their clients dont lose one unnessary dime? give advise thats good for the client? spyker is a joke without a punchline. there only advice ...buy more metal. guess how many brokers at spyker cash there checks an open an account every week? none you say? well at least they hire smart brokers.

btw lou is a biggotted brazilian who only cares about money and other brazillians. I cant wait to watch his house of cards come crumbling down, hopefully into a puddle of dog piss and wino vomit.

They stole my money SCAM SCAM
HEy if you like scams and dealing with low life ### of the earth jokes...by all means proceed. How about checking BBB.org or /link removed/ or madoffwith the money. Just another scam from a fathead ugly loser (lou) who is trying to buy himself something he cant. Dignity, pride you cant work for a joke company like that and have any pride fat loser. Still curious how your thug cold callers are able to read a whole pitch. Hey you guys are teachers too congrats what a crew of winners lol take care ###.

I also got scammed by Spyker. I tried to get my money over a year ago as I was advised by other brokers that these guys were dirty. I even got a copy of the lawsuit last October and no one from these law firms responds to e-mails and most likely dont even exist. With the current market, I could have had a nice little nest egg to retire on but lost everything I put in. Does anyone know of any course of action or is this a fool and his money are soon parted? I didn't go with these guys until a year after my first call when they pointed out what I would have made had I invested with them at that time and I bought into it. Silver is up $16 an ounce and gold is almost $ 500 an ounce. What a bunch of thieves especially my buddy Michael G! Thiscrook tried to get me to use money for my daughters wedding to turn it into a short term windfall. At least I didn't listen to that line.

Mr. D, I also was robed of my life savings from Aron Miller a.k.a Mike G. He is still activiley working as a commidities broker. How I don't understand. This guy is a true cold hearted human. He is the lowest of low. He is responsable for my children losing there Uneversity funds. How does someone like this guy sleep at night or look at himself every morning. God will take care of these types of people may he have mercy on there souls.

Wow! I am just starting my own investigation into what happened to my account at Spyker. Then I happened on this complaint site...Holy ###! what a sinking feeling. I opened my account in 12/2008 with two brothers and agents Rob and Carl(cant recall last names right now). Carl left Spyker about a year or so later (and it did not sound like an amicable split) and tried to persuade me with go with him. I have no idea what happened to Rob. I thought it best to stay right where I was, and that the move with him would prove more confusing than Spyker already seemed to me. The first red flag for me was, there was no way online to view you positions, as promised. I was also promised there would only be one upfront commission and that when I traded in and out of a commodity there would be no maintenance or commissions incurred. It was also implicitly understood that I would be able to take physical possession of my metals, should I ask, and that I my account would never be leveraged. It wasn't until I read my first few statements that I realize there was a loan balance column, on my statement. LOAN BALANCE..I'm on margin? WTF! I called Carl and [censor]ed him out for lying to me, and why would I want to move accounts to him when he'd done nothing but lie to me, but these guys are masters of drawing you back in and keeping you there. Thank God I have all my paperwork and looking back I see where they maintenance fee'd my account to death. All like they said they wouldn't. From what I can gather is, this is where they suck you dry. At the time of Carls departure from Spyker, I was told by someone at Spyker that my account would be supervised by someone else and that a broker would soon be calling me to discuss my account. Never heard from anyone for over a year and a half, until last fall, I get a call from the infamous Mike Gagliano, who states he is now overseeing my account, and I find out Carl is dead...(go figure, see what kharma you brokers at Spyker got coming to you.) Long story short, I invested 40K when silver was at 8 bucks. Now how the f**k do you go from $8 to $30/oz. and no one at Spyker has a clue how much profit, if any! or where or if my account even exists. As for 'marie271', above, if your husband is as honest as you claim, then tell him to put a hem in his skirt, his money where his mouth is, and man up and help all these people reconcile their accounts! As I stated, my account wound up being handed over to a new agent last year, to none other than, Mike Gagliano...jeez louise, this guy takes the cake. I wanted out by this point and let him know I was tired of their shenanigans and he had the balls to ask me to send more $$'s because silver was about to go thru the roof. I was like '2amChef' above, and said, "not until you show me my original 40k". WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE NOT IN JAIL?!?! COME ON AMERICA, DON'T LIE DOWN AND TAKE IT IN THE ### ANYMORE...are we that numb to getting ripped off, that it just feels like a part of everyday life, like we expect it?...like taking a ###? Now when brokers call, tell them to f**k off, like I do. I'm sick of seeing me and my fellow man ripped off with no recourse. ###'s about to hit the fan, folks. So pick up your baseball bats, Americans, and get ready to hit the cover off the ball. I'm fighting this till I die, and anyone man enough to come along, can be my guest. And buy REAL silver coin or bulk when the price drops again, not this paper ###. There are lessons here, fo'sure.
And remember Spyker and others of your ilk: kharma...kharma,
