Any investment fraudster has two faces before and after the funds are received. The first face is considerate and understanding, while the latter face is cold and ruthless, blacklisted and deleted. But good looks come first, coupled with the temptation of sugar coated bullets and high profits, there are always investors or investment professionals who are constantly being captured by them.
Recently, a platform called GCMAsia has been complained about by many users. Let's take a look at the fraudster's face changing process behind this platform.
Step by step retreat, pull people into traps
A female victim stated that she invested in GCMAsia because an account manager named NOZ had been urging her to invest. In fact, this victim did not have any investment experience. At the beginning, she did not believe NOZ's words, and for two weeks, she had been hesitating whether to invest.
After NOZ learned that she was afraid to invest because she didn't understand investment, she promised to provide free investment guidance. As long as she followed the guidance, she could avoid losses.
The victim without investment experience still hesitated, and in order to dispel her doubts, NOZ threw a new bait - a gold reward. And he claimed that this reward was a chance he had deliberately reserved for her for several weeks, despite the company's pressure. NOZ's enthusiasm and persistence made the victim compromise. Finally, following NOZ's guidance, she downloaded the GCMAsia program, registered an account, and deposited $100.
But after entering the gold, NOZ began to put on an indifferent face. The agreed trading guidelines were not seen, and the gold rewards were not seen. The victims only received promotional advertisements from the GCMAsia platform every day. The contrast between before and after made the victim netizens very dissatisfied and wanted to withdraw from the investment. However, GCMAsia ignored the user's request for payment.
On GCMAsia's official website, it claims to be an agent for Fortrade Limited. After checking, we found that Fortrade LimitedHolding financial licenses from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC), and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). But no relevant information about GCMAsia was found on these regulatory agencies, as GCMAsia is an unregulated false trading platform.
Ai Hui Cha Reminder:
Fraudsters are best at using clever words to win the favor of others; At the same time, they also use emotions or help to kidnap others, making it difficult for people to refuse them all the time, thus falling into a trap. Although there are many ways for scammers to attack their hearts, it is best to refuse online fraud as long as they are not gullible and do not transfer funds. I hope everyone will not be fooled by some illegal netizens.
