Hello everyone,

I want to know if someone knows this firm based in China and operating in the United States. I've got lot of problems to return back my money. Is it a scam ?
I appreciate information.
Regards,
Kingarthur

    Is what a scam?  In other words, what dealings have you had with this company, and what's happened compared with what you expected to happen?
  • They have funds from me due to a real work on shares and impossible to return back the money. Always asking deposit, insurance, guaranties

    what does 'a real work on shares' mean ?

    but to answer your question -  yes, you have been scammed and won't see any of your money back

     Always asking deposit, insurance, guaranties 
    That is a classic sign of  scam.  None of these things are required with shares.   However, they are usually used by scammers as a means to get more money out of you on the promise of you getting your money back.    Instead, you are just giving the scammer more money.

    Have a look at what these web checking sites think of "wlinc.com"

    https://www.scamdoc.com/view/693985
    https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/wlinc-com-review/
    https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/wlinc.com

    If the website I mentioned above is the one you have been using, then it is no longer available online (not a good sign).

    If they cold called you or you came across them via a social media site, then I think you will not see your money again.

    If some time you are contacted by a person or firm that tells you they can get your money back. Ignore them, they will be scammers.

    How did you here about them?
    How did you check on them before giving them your money?
