Embarrassing as it is to say, Shawn Robert Stropp convinced me when I was at my lowest time when I was grieving for my husband who just past from cancer. I saw some of the scripts that were posted and those were used on me. When I told him that I was uncomfortable he double talked lied to me talked me into investing promised me... You name it he used all the scamming tactics possible and I fell for it.
He kept calling and calling and calling saying I needed to add money to secure my investment. I told him I was uncomfortable as my husband did all the investment and he kept saying trust me. He informed me all my money was lost. The stop loses I asked to be on account where not put on. He also told me what to say and how to fill papers out. Most was done on his cell phone. JThe first indication should have been when the papers said your ID most have your current address on it. My drivers license used for ID was from a different state then my mailing address but they double talked on it. To keep me on account he dropped his commission to zero as another man said. I also had some people call me and when I asked him about it he was outraged and wanted me to talk with their attorneys but never heard anything.
The other stories sound the same as my situation. His practice is unethical and needs investigated. I would also like my investment back and tax penalties to be replaced. He said trust me, when I tried to get a hold of him he was no where to be found. The life insurance money was gone in two to three weeks which amounted to around 1/2 mil. What I could figure out most was taken for fees and commissions. He traded and sold on my account without my knowledge.
