I have invested in Agape for almost 2 years now. I had some extra money and was looking for a place to invest other than the market, bank, etc. I did some things with real estate and considered a small business like a car wash. A friend then introduced me to Agape. I have not had one problem with this company or any employee including Nick. I researched BBB, D&B and every other avenue available to me before I got started. This included internet searches to try and find someone that has had a bad experience. I haven't found one person say they got burned out of their money. I check back periodically to these threads, blogs, whatever you want to call them. All i see are people bashing Agape as a scam with not one single documented fact supporting that claim. I keep looking to see if anyone has proof of a scam because my investment has done tremendously well and i can't thank my friend enough for turning me on to Agape. It is the too good to be true theory but my experience has been nothing but true. It is a shame that the people that sit on the sidelines have nothing to say but "scam". This company has been around for 9 years and does rely heavily on private investment to fund its lending. There was a hiccup recently with one loan that has been delayed but when you look at the economic times it is understandable these things can occur. The investment is still outperforming the rest of my portfolio by far. The naysayers will now say I am trying to recruit more funds into the "scam". I can really care less what anyone else does with their money. I just would like everyone to state facts and call a scam a scam when someone actually gets burned.
another sheep that is about to be slaughtered. Seriously people....if you are too blinded by the money, or too stupid to see what is going on here...please send me checks as well. I'll send you back a couple percentage points every 90 days (maybe) as you recruit more people...I will also discourage you from touching your principal...as I need that to pay points to the newbies and spend their principals on boats, big houses, sports complexes, etc, etc.
A lot of naive people are going to learn a hard lesson here very soon. The funny thing, it's a simple lesson that we have all heard several times in our lives: If it looks too good to be true, it is.
Now Nick has recruited other felons to loan money too, this will not end well for anyone involved.
I'm starting to think that many investors do know what is going on, and simply don't care as they think they can get out before it implodes...and were in early enough that they are made back their initial investment. Everyone keeps waiting around and surfing these forums looking for a disgruntled investor...someone who actually claims that they got scammed. Instead, they do study the history and workings of a ponzi scheme...and will quickly learn that this is right on course. Of course nobody has complained yet...and you won't hear that until EVERYONE does at once...that's how it works idiots. It's a house of cards, and it falls at one time...everyone will be left trying to figure out how they lost their money as they watch Nick get hauled away in cuffs on the 10 o'clock news.
