ForexRev warns against:
Euro Union Investment
WEBSITE: www.eurounioninvestment.com
COMPANY: Ou Lian Wealth Investment group Limited
The history of the investor who came to our editorial office to warn our readers about the broker shows that at the beginning the platform seemed reliable, the trading was smooth, it was also possible to pay out the profit. After some time, the first signals of insolvency and possible fraud began to appear on the web. The platform probably works on the principle of a financial pyramid, the first clients are paid funds to gain credibility, each subsequent investor registering in the system has less chance of making a payment.
There is an extensive article on the web with a description of the course of cooperation with the broker. Typically for similar scams, in order to withdraw funds accumulated on the platform, the broker informs the investor of the need to pay a false tax or additional fees to “unlock” the possibility of making a withdrawal.
The story in the article is about a Filipino investor. On January 26, 2022, Huiyou filed a withdrawal request which was rejected due to the payment of “12% personal income tax” on the profit accumulated in the investor’s account. In this case, the amount was 160,000 NT$ (New Taiwan Dollar). The payment was to be made within 24 hours.
2 days later, Huiyou noticed that the withdrawal request was again rejected. The reason for the rejection, according to the broker, was incorrectly paid tax – the investor paid it in two instalments. As a consequence of the above error, he had to pay the NT$40,000 deposit again, which, according to the broker’s assurances, was to be returned. After paying the fees, the broker again asked the investor that he is suspected of money laundering, to confirm his credibility he was asked to deposit NT $ 67,845, these funds were also to be returned.
Still not enough, the next day after making further payments, Huiyou was informed that he had to pay NT$ 56,750 for “system repair”. The investor does not have extensive experience in trading on the Forex market, and he wants to quickly withdraw his funds, which makes him agree to transfer another huge amount to the broker.
After paying the above “receivables”, the investor has accumulated a substantial sum of NT $ 330,000. On February 5, he received information that there is one last fee to deposit funds, after which it will be possible to withdraw money collected on the platform. Feeling that he was close, he made the promised “last” payment. It was only at this point that the investor realized that he had fallen victim to a scam.
The eurounioninvestment.com platform was registered in October 2021, and FX110 (a Taiwanese regulator) placed it on its list of warnings in January.
The broker on the website informs that the company supervising the functioning of the platform is Ou Lian Wealth Investment group LTD, registered in Great Britain. However, this information is not true, the company with the given name is not entered in the register of companies and is not registered or licensed by the UK FCA.
If you come across a platform where you need to pay a deposit securing your withdrawal – don’t hesitate to STOP LOSS and stay away. Investors cannot believe that they “can get the money out if they pay it.” There is a great probability that it is a bottomless well that will only get deeper with the loss of your funds. – we read on the niubencja.com portal that published the story of the investor Huiyou.
The Coin Trust
WEBSITE: www.thecointrust.com
COMPANY: SPT Media LLC
Check out the previous SPT Media LLC warning issued by the CNMV.
The victim’s account shows that she was encouraged to trade on the Forex / Crypto market by an article published on a website pretending to be PulsBiznesu.pl, the article contained the story of Szymon Hołownia, who was to invest in cryptocurrencies and receive considerable profits on this account. The story appeared to be plausible and encouraged the trader to take risks in trading.
The investor provided her data in the registration form, the next day she was contacted by the representative of TheCoinTrust.com platform, who slowly introduced her to the world of cryptocurrencies and offered to create an account. By default, it was a $250 starting deposit to open your first positions.
For 2 weeks I watched how I was making money on EUR / USD currency pairs, then Mr. Aleksander Laper (editor’s fake name) – an employee of thecointrust offered me that the company was ready to give me a bonus of EUR 25,000 for the same capital contribution on my part. I did so, I deposited EUR 25,000 and got a bonus of EUR 25,000, then the application showed me that I was making money using robots on cryptocurrencies.
Problems started when trying to deposit funds. As in the case of the Filipino investor Huiyou, whose history has been described above, in the case of the Polish investor, there were further receivables that must be settled in order for the payment to be possible.
Unfortunately, when I wanted to pay out the profits, the stairs started, first I had to pay 3800 EUR in tax, then 4000 EUR insurance, then the profit increased wonderfully and suddenly I had Belka’s tax to pay again, then the profit increased again and again insurance and every day after paying the X amount it turned out that there is something that is blocking my refund.
Unfortunately, the employees were not able to indicate any legal basis on which they keep my funds, I even said that I did not want a profit, that I only wanted what I paid and paid, but they told me that I would only get to pay 8,000 EUR.
The investor draws attention to the letters received from the broker containing the Binance logo, which was to confirm that the funds are being blocked by Binance and that this platform is demanding additional fees. Binance Customer Service has denied these reports.
