In recent years, the "pig killing plate" has gone crazy in the world, not only in Asian countries, but also in Europe, America, Africa and Oceania countries.


Recently, an Australian woman living in Sydney broke the news that she encountered a "pig killing plate" online, and successively invested in two black platforms and was cheated of $220,000. Thought she met the perfect lover, but it turned out to be a deliberate "online wallet interception", which made her very desperate.


Sydney woman met 'perfect love' online and was cheated out of $220,000


The Sydney woman, who did not want to be named, said that the other party was called "Kevin", and it was Kevin who first contacted her online, he replied to her post on Instagram, and then added friends to each other.


Kevin said he is a Singaporean businessman in his 40s, because he saw his profile on the selfie with his family, including Paris, London, skiing and wine tasting photos in Norway, etc., and even a video of his daughter playing the piano, and his skydiving video, Sydney woman thought she had met her "perfect love" and did not suspect anything.


After months of late-night phone calls and conversations, Kevin casually introduced her to the MetaTrader 5 trading platform, and she put in a small amount of money with the intention of giving it a try, but as it became profitable, she felt free to put in more and more money.


At first, Kevin gave her a link to transfer her money to a company called Sophie Capital, and the trading app Kevin provided was a real-time website that looked real because it showed how much she was moving in real-time trades. She later learned that it was a knockoff of a legitimate MT5 site.


Later, she was told that the company had changed its name to Victoria Capital.


In late October, Victoria Capital emailed her to say that her operations in September involved money laundering because her account was under international money laundering investigation and the funds had been frozen.


She was then told she needed to pay an additional $250,000 to stop the investigation. Only then did she discover that she had been cheated, and by this time, she was deep in the mud and had been cheated of $220,000.


The woman then reported the scam to the ACCC, AUSTRAC, IDCare and NSW Police.


FX110 investigation: Sophie Capital and Victoria Capital have already been listed as fake traders


FX110 has already listed Sophie Capital and Victoria Capital as fake traders.


The names of Sophie Capital and Victoria Capital are registered with ASIC, but they do not have the relevant financial operation authority.


The platform of Sophie Capital claims to provide CFD TRADING services such as foreign exchange, stock index, commodities and precious metals. The company name SOPHIE CAPITAL FINANCIAL Trading LTD is marked on the English page. It is registered in the United States and regulated by NFA 0550618. Switching to the Chinese page identifies the company name SOPHIE CAPITAL FINANCIAL TRADING PTY LTD, registered in Australia.


However, in the United States, the NFA has found the corresponding company name, but it is only ordinary registration, not NFA members are not subject to its supervision. In Australia, there is only business registration information, but there is no information in the list of financial service licensees and authorized representatives of ASIC Australia. It is obvious that the Sophie Capital platform is false propaganda and there is no supervision.


Victoria Capital platform claims to provide CFDS TRADING services such as foreign exchange, stock indexes, precious metals, the company name VICTORIA CAPITAL FINANCIAL Trading PTY LTD, established in Australia, but the website does not publish any regulatory information for users to verify.


However, the corresponding company name was found on the Australian Business page and ASIC of Australia, holding AR license number 001298100, its main license company name WHOLESALE INVESTOR SERVICES PTY LTD, license number 530128, without registered website and other contact information. Moreover, the authorized business scope of the master license company is only for wholesale customers and does not provide retail foreign exchange trading, which is obvious that the platform has no effective supervision.


FX110 has previously reported related exposure articles, such as "profit is nothing but empty joy! In VICTORIA CAPITAL, the gold account is not zero", "in SOPHIE CAPITAL, more than 160,000 gold, the gold is actually a" one-time "?!" .


According to another Hui You broke the news, he began to invest in the platform called Pioneer Capital Limited on April 20, and then in mid-May, Pioneer Capital Limited's website suddenly could not be opened, saying that it was merging other trading websites. Rui Win Capital by mid-June, Victoria Capital by August, and now Patriot Capital... What a mess of a book. (See: "Formerly Rui Win Capital, please detour when you see PATRIOT CAPITAL platform!") )


Nowadays, it is impossible to guard against, in addition to the "catch a pen and run" of the black platform, and the free switch between the black platform.
