Summary
Reviewers consistently describe their experiences as a scam: aggressive cold calls and WhatsApp contact promising huge, fast returns after small deposits, followed by repeated demands for much larger payments supposedly required to release funds. Many report fake phone numbers and emails, unresponsive or disappearing support, and inflated account balances that cannot be withdrawn; when customers try to cash out they are asked to pay fees, taxes, or additional verification amounts. Multiple people say their cards and bank accounts were drained, payments routed through third parties (names mentioned by reviewers include Klara, Shaka Trading Ltd, Revolut and Bsystems), and that fraudsters used remote-access tools or took control of devices to steal funds. Victims describe requests for excessive personal documents, threats of money laundering or terrorism accusations to extort more money, manipulated trading conditions (huge spreads, swaps) and account freezes to block withdrawals. Reported losses range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars and include elderly and vulnerable customers; several reviewers urge others not to engage, not to give remote access or personal data, and to investigate thoroughly before investing. Some reviewers say filing complaints or public exposure helped prevent further theft, but most warn that recovering money is extremely difficult.

In May of this year, I was contacted by EDMOND LAZARAS informing me that I had £10,000 in credit which could be withdrawn and placed into my UK bank account. He was extremely pleasant and told me he would guide me through the entire process. To withdraw these funds I had to pay £5000 to verify them? An account was opened with REVOLUT bank and £5000 deposited. I was then told that cash had to be converted from UK£ to €. This was done and the exchange got me €5800. Soon after, two withdrawals of €1000 and €4000 were transferred from the account There should have been approximately €750+ left in the REVOLUT account but there was nothing?? The account was empty. I have been hospitalized for several months with throat cancer but Mr. LAZARAS has been extremely persistant and has recently informed me that an additional €5000 is required to finalize the withdrawal??? This has not been deposited at this time?? He has assured me the two deposits of €5000 will be credited to my REVOLUT account with the additional £10,000 gained from my initial investment of $250. I wonder if I am ever likely to see 'any' of my hard earned money again? The reviews posted don't give me much hope or confidence. At 75 years of age I can ill afford to lose such a sum.

I invested with them USD 253.00. At the begining, the financial advisor was Ronald. I asked if he can put my account on auto trades. He agreed and in 2 weeks he put some money in my account. One week there was no conatact. After a week, one named Anthony called me and said he took over my account and Ronald is no more there. He asked me to invest more which I declined, then he said that he got clients invested thousands dollar, if I don't invest more money, he can't spend time for me. I said ok, I will do trading by myself, then he threatened to freeze my account. Since then I started trading and made good profit. When they found it, they started put barriers on my account i.e. made spreds very high, put swaps, etc. so I can't trade anymore. I put a withdrawal request in April 10, 2023 and send them emails several time, but no respose till now. They are so croocked. Don't invest with them. Save your money.

From day one I felt like i was an inconvenience, from the moment of paying the registration fee. two weeks later i received a call from my new business development manager, (never spoke to her predecessor "Berlin she said" I thought maybe an attack of the morals) ) perfectly charming, the trading platform introduction was so fast a hariet hawker jet would have had issues in keeping up, the main focus of the training was to buy a bitcoin for 17k from one country and sell it at 23k 6k profit 5 minutes work, Alarm bells where are all the traders and why are they not cashing in on such profit margins, the conversation became a little angst when i wouldn't put the 21.5k to a credit card. Financial advisor or retention manager. The session ended and next text received 10 days later was to advise my initial 250$ was now worth 12.5k again i had done nothing i could fathom out the system Then followed by radio silence for two weeks, after what appeared to be the platform crashing i decided to cash in. ten days later i get a call, and low and behold i have 3 days to transfer funds of 6k to pay for all the services and taxes required to do a bank transfer Surely Binnance only get paid after the event, taxes are only due after a sale or monies earned, the brokerage company once the transaction has been finalised, All these monies should be deducted at source from the total amount during the exchange process. My quandary has been or was do i take a leap of faith i could be 8k better off vs the possibility of dealing with loosing $250 against £6000.00 Then I read these reviews .

They are real scammers. Please do not give your money to them. I did not know much about trading on then forex. I registered with them and did not hear about them. A month later they told me I had won 37000 pounds which I know was untrue. I asked them to withdraw but they said I have to pay 3700 before they can release my money. I gave them 100 pounds and they asked for more when I refused they just left. I will therefore ask anyone investing to be very careful of scammers and try to investigate the company before doing business with them.

I have to say I have never been so disappointed in myself the way I am tonight, earlier today I feel for it big time being sucked in by a very convincing young lady telling me I could clear over £1000 per month profit when only depositing £200. I was told the £200 was required straight away to guarantee my place in the market and a financial trading advisor would contact me and discuss investing and explain the new artificial intelligence platform in detail and I would trading but this never happened, my funds were taken through some banking app called klara depositing my money into an account belonging to a store called Shaka Trading Ltd which supplies surfing goods. All telephone numbers are fake and no k e replies to emails . I have withdrew my funds from DIFCinvestmentsworld but it is pending but they are asking for me to send a colour full size copy corner to corner of my driving licence , passport and NI card and proof of address being recent tax bill and utilities bill, proof of any accounts I hold including copy of bank statement or credit card statement and get this, my mothers maiden name, that before I scan start trading ! Let’s just say I have lost my money unless my bank can help me. Please everyone out there trust your gut feeling, if it’s to good to be true it is! Believe nothing you see on Twitter or Facebook and for god sake don’t give any of these low life thieving Bleep bleeps your details. I suffer from ongoing I’ll health and all these big numbers and rewards I was hearing when I was feeling so alone and vulnerable was enough for me to be stupid, I worry about all the older generation that will fall into this trap that may have no one to turn to and pray the younger generation grow up knowing about all thus and don’t make these mistakes and all the scammers that are praying on us all die a horrible death

Even 1 star is too much. A band of gangsters, they take the whole balance of your creditcard by a company based in Ghana, Bsystems and you will never see a cent again. Edit reply: I don't want to exchange any emails with Difc,just send my money back!!!

Never and never approach these criminals. You will never get your money back once they get you. They use different strategies to lure you with words. Pay attention to anything they use. If they scam you, they will try to contact you as if they want to help you ! Do never approach them and never give them control of your phone or computer ! Never approach this gang of robbers and criminals. Nothing is real and do not joke with their fake website meant to steal everything from you.
