Account do not care just transfer money, account information have not yet seen, but suddenly was told that the account is profitable, but the withdrawal of money needs to pay a fee...... These bizarre operations are actually happening! Recently, a Malaysian Huiyou suffered such a situation, he thought he opened an account of the platform is eToro, and finally realized that it is a fake eToro!
The account information is not yet seen, and the "withdrawal fee" is called.
According to Huiyou's description, he was initially pulled into a Whatsapp group by employees of the online so-called eToro company, and finally decided to participate in their "investment project" under various inducements. Different from other foreign exchange investment scams, this group of scammers only provides a "Package Plan" (Package Plan), that is, the user does not need to participate too much, only need to transfer money to them, they do account opening, trading and other operations, and guaranteed profit. The platform they recommended was eToro, and the website sent was also the official website of the compliance platform eToro. Hui You saw that the platform was still small and large-scale, and did not have too much doubt.
After that, according to the requirements of the scammers, Huiyou provided information to allow it to open an account on their behalf, and then transferred 900 ringgit (contract RMB 1394 yuan) to the designated bank account of the other party, and then the other party was responsible for transferring the funds to the trading account. After the successful transfer, Huiyou is told that it will take 2-5 hours for the funds to be credited to the trading account, and then the other party is fully responsible for the transaction operation. Not long after, the scammer told Huiyou that its account had made a profit of 15,541.91 ringgit, but due to the super trading period, Huiyou needed to pay a fee of 10% of the profit amount to withdraw the profit, that is, 1554.19 ringgit, and promised that the fee could be withdrawn together with it at that time.
Change the tree! Scammers essentially open Huiyou accounts in fake eToro
Hui you feel very confused, he has not even seen his own trading account, and the other side did not provide any details of the investment account, only let him transfer again. Feeling that something was wrong, Huiyou asked the staff to cancel the transaction, but the other side directly ignored his appeal and urged him to raise margin when there was little money left in Huiyou's account.
Realized that he was deceived by the Huiyou did not transfer money, in addition, he also found that he did not have an account in the eToro platform, although the fraudster initially sent him is the official website of the compliance platform eToro, but the platform that the fraudster helped him to open an account is essentially a fake eToro, and all background data is controlled by them. This move "transfer wood", but also hope that investors remain vigilant!
On the rugged road of trading, there are few investors who have made a pot full of money, and many traders who have been lured to the ruin, not to mention the traders who have crashed into the black platform! In order to make novice investors believe in them, crooks always use "high profit" and "guaranteed profit" as the bait to make up a beautiful wealth blueprint, so that traders are willing to take risks and come clean, and ultimately most of them end up "being cheated".
Remind everyone, in the face of any choice that does not guarantee the security of funds, be careful and double check! In addition, personal information such as identity verification and account passwords can not be easily handed over to others at any time, and it is not advisable to open an account on behalf of others! Investment is a very cautious thing, we must choose a compliant platform under the premise of our own knowledge.
