    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Problem Scammed by Knight Service Group for US $1.44M

I am having an issue with a company
Hi,

I was scammed by Knight Service Group for US $1.44M. I live in the US. I was lured by a supposedly single mom named Nancy, who I met on a dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. She immediately wanted to chat on WhatsApp. She claimed to be a partner at a fashion company which did work for H&M and major brands. Lol, she claimed her company is the foundry for Gucci! She worked with an "account manager" named Bozza. She said she wants to travel with me and buy an apartment together in the US. She paid a lot for a financial advisor. She said her uncle got her into investing. I was tricked into adding so much money because of bonuses and I was led to believe I needed a minimum amount for certain investments and to reduce my commission. This was unfortunately influenced by me giving her info about my finances. I did some profitable "trades". I twice borrowed money - $400K and $330K. The scam should have been evident to me then, because I had to use outside money to repay the loan, instead of money already in the account!

Nancy said she'd make enough from a business deal to cover what I can't pay from the $330K loan. Of course, the "business deal" fell through. She was the "guarantor" for the loan. Bozza said if we're late, we'd have to each pay $500/day in late fees. But then he said that her late fee is $5000/day! I agreed with Nancy to pay her $90K late fee. When they realized I lost interest in trading, Nancy tried to get me to pay $200K to withdraw $2M (10% fee). That's when I saw it was a scam. She told me that withdrawing less has a 20% fee. I tried to recall the $90K, and pretended that the bank caused delays, which really upset her. When I said I don't want to withdraw money, she tried really hard to get me to do it. Then she started telling me I should give $200K so she can withdraw. She seemed fixated on getting me to pay $200K. At one point, she said she'd get money from her parents and then said her dad had a heart attack.

Nancy would send me so many nice pictures of "herself". Her "daughter" was really cute. She would say how special I am. Her "daughter" even knew about me. From the beginning, she said he only wants to text. When she was furious at the end, she voice called me. I didn't pick up. She refused to do a video call, which would show who she really is. I attached her picture.

I don't expect to get any money back, but I hope this helps others from getting scammed. I filed complaints to ic3.gov (FBI) and econsumer.gov. This was almost all the money I have. I reported her dating profile. I took the FBI's advice and stopped communication with both criminals.

Nancy's phone number is (+852) 9801 0749
Bozza's phone number is (+44) 7367 021627
I got scammed by Tate Prime Live, trading gold on MT4, similar story, a single mom approached me, she also said from HK, we met on FB, then chat, she led me to chat on Wha’sApps, later on showing me how much she made on gold trading to gain my trust, is there any way that we can find out there identity through WhatsApp account? Cuz most likely we the victims got their WhatsApp account are from UK start with +44.. and the criminals said from HK, how did you wire the money? To domestic or international? Did you try any attempts to get the money back?

I had a very similar situation the took me for $265K. Same company, Knights Service Group which then started up the company Clearing Falcon Group -- both in the UK with Chinese ties.
They probably not really in UK, they may just opened WhatsApp accounts in UK, then use that to chat with ppl in US or some other countries, they most likely say from HK, and have buy trip in UK, live in high class hotel, busy as variety of investor

Just go back to all the thread of Tinder/ Dating investment scam. A lot of similar stories. If you’ve been scammed, next step you should do is just report it and if you’ve exposed your private information to them contact your local police and change your IDs.
 
Do you have emails of the management and the legal service of the company for sending claim's letters?
Mediator - good to see that you came back to help victims. What advice do you have to help the victims get their money back? DId you reach out the the lady in customer service from Shanghai that you know?
 
I think this girl is not Nancy but Li Rouyu, 35 year old girl from Shanghai. If my assumptions are correct then Ms. Rouyu will be happy to see the claim's letter.
Li Rouyu, 35 from Shanghai per your post. Did you talk to her to get the money back for all the victims this company stole from?
 
Do you have emails of the management and the legal service of the company for sending claim's letters?
Mediator - why do you come here to ask very specific questions and pretend to know the people who scam and work for Knight Service Group (Nancy, Rouyu, etc.). When anyone asks you to help you disappear or have an excuse of why you are unwilling to help victims. It leaves a lot of suspicion of who you really work for and why you keep coming here to advocate for the scammer and not help the victims (i.e. your advice - victims just keep working with the same people who already stole your money and blocked you).

You spent a lot of time asking questions about how to avoid financial consulting laws of the US. Why would anyone purposely avoid laws set in place to protect investors?
