What I am saying is many dodgy sites use .co addresses, that doesn't mean that sites with a .co address are dodgy. I expect any international business will own domains in countries where they do business. A company that is active in the UK and seemingly in Columbia and no other countries, need to be treated with a large bucketful of caution.

It’s nothing to do with being in Columbia.  As mentioned on the godaddy link..

”.co is a top-level domain extension and it’s the acronym for company or corporation”

Nobody looks at a .co website and thinks they’re based in Columbia.

And many dodgy sites use .co.uk and .com domains too. .co is no more of a red flag than those.

What you can say is that any website trying to impersonate another genuine website might be detectable by carefully examining the URL. For example, if you are into machine learning and want to sign up to the genuine website https://huggingface.co/ you should be equally suspicious of hugglngface.co and huggingface.co.uk

This is irrelevant to the site in the OP though, because there is no genuine website being impersonated. Even when relevant, it is only helpful if you know what the genuine URL is supposed to be. You can't just assume .co.uk is more trustworthy.

To go back to the main topic.
OP has a story about a relative investing in this company.
Almost every reply says there are red flags and it sounds dodgy at best.
The relative asks for their money back, but can only get back a small amount ( no surprise there).
New poster comes along and claims they have made multiple large withdrawals with no problem. Hmmm....

Good observation, I didn’t notice that.  Red flag 🚩

Very suspicious.

No mention of any profit, only how easy it was to get money returned.

Deposited in £, withdrawn in $ ?

$20,000 returned in 24 hours ?

April 24 ... Long time ?

Or try to withdrawal ?

That company ?  not this company, maybe an effort at distancing themselves?

Some of the language sounds like an American poster trying to hide behind a very British forum name.

And money returned in different currency to that paid in. Even more suspicious.

That was quick, so do you intend to remove all of your remaining funds?

If you do, have you had second thoughts on their legitimacy? and if so, why wait a few weeks?

If you have not, why are you intending to make further withdrawals at all?

Hi @summerset1451 - certainly will do. The latest is that Person A has received £500 back (out of £20k). They asked for all of it. What seems to happen is that when they refused to give the full amount back they agree to "at least cover your monthly outlay" - e.g. the monthly loan payment. Person A is no longer in touch with Person B on the topic so I don't have an update there. What I do know is that Person A has accepted it is a scam and there has been a lot of hurt over the issue in the family. 

Out of curiosity @summerset1451 - what made you think it was a good place to invest? Obviously the returns promised etc. speak for themselves, but just curious - did you see the warnings (FCA, Google, Trustpilot etc.) and if so, what made you ignore them? Promise no judgement here - just trying to get my own head around it. 

@timborules

I would strongly suggest that you do not keep in contact with this poster, or reply to any personal messages they send you. Especially if they say they can get your friends money back.

Could you make things simple for me & answer the following questions:-
1. How much total money did actually give to Investqhub?
2. How much TOAL money have you actually gotten back from Investqhub?
3. What research did you do into  Investqhub before you gave them your money?

You wrote:  Just need to get my head around things and decide if I should keep going with that company.

I have just done a search and these results appeared. May be these will be of help.

As for Kraken, I take it you are aware of this:-

Yup - I’m calling BS. 

1. In a DM to me he said: Hi. My withdrawal was processed even quicker then the first time and money is now exchanged and withdrawn in my account

2. Notoriously, they use different names for customer service managers. This user is the first in any forum to use the name of the customer service manager used by my family member, who he said “was ill and was in hospital”. 

We shouldn’t be surprised. They answer and remove trustpilot reviews daily (I’ve been checking) and when you google them, this thread is one of the top hits.
