are Forex dealers in the Bahamas regulated?

Be careful of anyone from the Bahamas asking for money or investments or for your credit card number bank number etc...\nA lot of scams originate in the Bahamas because they don't have a lot of regulations.  And they don't need to follow American or other countries regulations.\n\nI'm not sure about Forex or NFA, but I wouldn't do the deal you're considering.

The Forex market is the FOReign EXchange market or simply the currency market. This is an investment market in it's own right in that international traders will study various macro-economic variables of many countries and try to identify opportunites to make profit by either buying or selling various currencies. The best current example of an investor taking a bet on the Forex market is Warren Buffet's well publisised view that the US dollar will weaken over time, which effectively means that other currencies will strengthen over time relative to the dollar. Buffet has taken a US$35 billon dollar bet that this will happen by investing in many non-US based companies.  You probably can't use Yahoo to conduct Forex trades as most countries have specific laws around who and how you can buy and sell money.  However, everytime you travel overseas and purchase traveller's cheques and then cash them when you come back home, you are effectively conducting a forex trade.

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.

You are correct the country is open to opprtunities. If you are not greedy enough to fall for any scam, you will have little problem. \n\nFirst you need to register a company preferably under the general contracting category. Thereafter, you open a corporate bank account in the name of your company. You can establish a credit line based on your relationship with the bank. With the amount of money you have, I would advise you go into the service subsector of the oil-and-gas sector. For information, I will refer you to OilStax Limited, 25 Sanusi Fafunwa St, Victoria Island Lagos ask of Mr Badmus.\n\nI wish u all the best.

apart from being an actual chain of 3 islands in the western Carribbean which I'm guessing you don't mean the islands associated with tax fruad and money laundering. As a tax haven it was possible to avoid paying tax on incomes or paying less if they were chanelled through banks in the Caymans. This lead to a lot of criminal activity, drug trafficking etc going on which the government partly turned a blind eye to. That was in the 60s-90s think its cleaned up a lot since though but don't really know. hope thats a help

Where are you now? Does the husband still reside in the Bahamas?  What are your questions?\n\nIt is going to be almost impossible for you to do anything long-distance without employing a lawyer, and even if you are in the Bahamas it may be difficult. Mony for a lawyer often comes from selling the property involved.\n\nThe property complicates things, but if want you need is to be divorced, you should be able to get a divorce where you are.  Disposition of the property may hvae to be done through Bahamian legal processes.

You can get information on how the bank is regulated (State or Federal and which agency) on its website.\n\nIf you suspect foul play, a letter to your State's Attorney General is a good place to start.\n\nGood Luck!

Well of course one main factor they consider is generating a profit!\n\nWhat they do is they take the currency rate; it is usually active - and not fixed. They then put a spread between the buy and sell price - this is how the forex dealers make money. \n\nSay if you bought US with your currency then sold the US back instantaneously you will find that you may have lost .5 to 3c per dollar or maybe even more because of the spread.
