<center><h2>The Our Power Forced Matrix (OPFM) Consumer Movement</h2></center>
The goal of Matrixwatch is to provide a gathering place for victims of all types of scams. When victims of a scam come together, great things can happen. With that in mind, I am creating this thread to bring together the victims the OPFM scam.
<center><h2>History of OPFM</h2></center>
<center>(Coming Soon!)</center>
Did you invest in OPFM and lose money? There is something you can do about it. This document will outline the steps you can take to get justice for yourself and other victims of the OPFM scam.
Victims from any country are welcome!!!
Note: While the thread is going to be locked out from posts, I am going to periodically update it with useful information regarding the situation. Check this page often

<center><h2>#2: Start grouping together</h2></center>
By joining any of the various consumer movements here at Matrixwatch, there is no expressed commitment. Additionally, there is no expressed intent of filing a lawsuit. Should a lawsuit be filed by a fraud victim, and we become aware of it, the list of victims contained herein will simply allow us to inform these victims of the potential lawsuit. For more information about how lawsuits work, click here (http://www.matrixwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?p=39296#post39296).
Below we will keep the master-list of all victims of OPFM. We envision using this list as a tool to show government authorities the true vastness of the OPFM scam. If you lost money in OPFM, you need to get on this list!
You may ask yourself, "why should I bother joining?". There are a few good reasons:
You'll ensure that you receive any communication from Matrixwatch on the OPFM topic. We send out newsletters regularly with updated information on the pursuit for justice.
Having a count of the number of victims, and the amount of money lost allows Matrixwatch to publicize the gravity of the situation. News organizations, for instance, are only interested in a scam if the number of victims and the amount of money lost is very high.
Showing your support for the consumer movement by signing up for it allows other victims to see that they aren't alone. Seeing dozens, or even hundreds of other people in the same boat gives a great sense of community.
Showing the agencies that have received complaints allows other victims to realize how loud their voice can be and give them strength to file complaints as well!

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL
The administration of Matrixwatch is only a medium for bringing the perveyors of scams to Justice. We are not always the victims of scams, and therefore cannot file any complaints ourselves (or on the behalf of others). YOU, the victim, along with all the other victims, control your own destiny. Take 20 minutes and file a report with the following organizations. If you are on the list of victims above, you owe it to yourself and the rest of the victims. If everyone on the list files each of these complaints, things will start to happen fast. Act Now!!!
There are four types of people in the world:
Those that everything happens to.
Those who wonder what's happening.
Those who watch things happen.
Those who make things happen.
Don't be a victim...be someone who makes things happen!!!
Remember, the more complaints that you file, the louder your voice is. When the victims of fraud band together they cease being victims, and become advocates for justice!
To assist you, Matrixwatch provides a complaint letter template. (Coming Soon!)
Top Priority: OPFM is presumably run out of Arizona. Victims of this scam should first and foremost file a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General's Office (http://www.azag.gov/consumer/complaintform.html). The following addresses are the alleged addresses associated with OPFM:
7561 N. Calle Ochenta Siete
Scottsdale, AZ 85258
AND

<center><h2>#5: Request a refund</h2></center>
For legal reasons, you should probably request a refund from OPFM. Save the response from OPFM.
<br>
<center><h2>#6: Contact local news organizations</h2></center>
Often times your local news company will have a "help the consumer" segment in which they expose consumer fraud. If you know of a program similar to this in you local area, go to the website of the tv station and send them an email about the matrix scam, and how you got wrapped up in it.
<br>
<center><h2>#7: Start saving evidence</h2></center>
Although they might not be immediately handy, it would be in your favor to save the following items if you still have them:
Bank statements showing OPFM related transactions
Credit Card statements showing OPFM related transactions
Paypal (or other pay-processor) history printouts showing OPFM related transactions
Emails (sent and/or received) from OPFM
Cached copies of OPFM (<a href="http://www.archive.org/" target="new_page">Use the "way back machine" at archive.org</a>)
Copies of OPFM promotional material.
