I have just laughed out loud at their website. I particularly like the comment under Quick Withdrawal:
’All our retreats are treated spontaneously once requested..’
Reminds me of a holiday in Thailand many years ago celebrating a friend’s birthday. The hotel proudly delivered a cake, iced with the greeting ‘Harry Jando’. We assumed it was an attempt @ Happy Birthday, but did check first that there wasn’t another guest missing their cake🤔.3 -

Oh yes, I also liked this bit:badger09 said:I have just laughed out loud at their website. I particularly like the comment under Quick Withdrawal:

We are trusted by a huge number of people. We are working hard constantly to improve the level of our security system and minimize possible risks.
Usually on a website that handles sensitive information, particularly financial, you'd expect something like "We use industry leading XY-123 encryption and adhere to the AB security standards"
Not this site, their starting position is that they are working hard to improve their security and minimize (prevent?) risks... hardly fills you with reassurance!
Here's a thought - why not release a website in which the public is intended to deposit their life savings after you've improved the level of your security system?

Don't take any more investment "advice" from your friend. Assuming he isn't in on the scam, he is probably in the process of losing a lot of money himself. He just doesn't know it yet.2

Looks like they have a referral scheme, so thats probably why the friend is suggesting it.Aretnap said:Don't take any more investment "advice" from your friend.

Has there ever been a post with the question "LEGIT or SCAM", where the answer hasn't been SCAM?

I believe there was ONE occasion, where the majority shareholder in a company wished (or was required) to buy out the minority shareholders and sent out a very scammy-looking offer document.coyrls said:Has there ever been a post with the question "LEGIT or SCAM", where the answer hasn't been SCAM?

IIRC there was one recently that related to a share registrar's asset reunification company but yes, very rare.Eco_Miser said:
