There is a type of scam where scammers first pull their target audience into an investment group and then introduce investment products and expected profits (which are highly attractive). Their investment products require a high amount of money, usually in the form of a team, claiming to allocate income funds based on profitability and the proportion of funds.
The victim did not know the details of the group members, but could only see that the atmosphere in the group was warm, and the group members trusted the investment teacher very much. Little did they know that at this point, the victims often became the targets of a group of friends who "coerced" them. The "group friends" were scammers and their trumpets, playing different roles such as teachers and investors, all just to make the victims believe their lies and enter the scam service.
A platform called "Goldman Equiti" is using this scam method, and some Huiyou recently exposed his experience of being scammed.
I was charged 310000 yuan for withdrawal without paying any gold coins
I have participated in group planning activities and indeed received money, as well as pictures of accounts being credited due to accidents. "After testing, the victim netizen believed that the investment team in this group could be trusted. So I arranged with two friends to each contribute 50000 yuan to the Goldman Equiti platform.
When entering the fund, it also gives people a very formal feeling, with online contracts signed. After a period of operation, the funds on the joint account have shown a profit of 1.6 million.
The victim netizen wants to withdraw some of the profits, and at this time, the platform's special assistance said that out of the 1.6 million yuan fund, except for the 100000 yuan principal, the remaining amount needs to pay a 20% operating fee, which is 310000 yuan, in order to withdraw the funds. Although many "group friends" in the group claim to have successfully withdrawn and made profits, netizens have realized that this is fraud, after all, he was asked to pay an additional 310000 yuan without a single withdrawal, which is not in line with normal rules.
Goldman Equiti pretends to be regulated by both countries
Next, let's take a look at the relevant information on the Goldman Equiti platform. The platform claims to provide trading services for foreign exchange, stock indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, etc. It is a limited company registered in the UK and belongs to Goldman Equiti Limited. In terms of regulation, he stated on his official website that he is authorized and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA).
We found no corresponding company names in both Dubai DFSA and Seychelles FSA; GOLDMAN EQUITI LTD was found on the UK company registration page, but this is only a business registration and does not mean that financial services can be provided; The UK regulatory agency FCA also found no relevant information about it. It can be confirmed that Goldman Equiti is a fake platform without regulation. Please be vigilant towards it.
