• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    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.

    More info coming soon.

The only thing this will do is block the sender from you. It does nothing to bring the scammer down off of their platform. Like Facebook, WhatsApp does not give a rat's ass about how criminal their own user's behavior is on their platform or what harm their platforms are doing to their other legitimate, innocent users.

Facebook and WhatsApp, and all of these social media platforms, have but one concern: Their own asses, their own bottom lines - at the expense and horrifying abuse of their other registered legitimate members.

They don't give a damn for their own users' protection from the incredibly costly and evil abuse suffered at the hands of scammers they readily invite and protect, and CONTINUE TO PROTECT EVEN AFTER REPORTED ABUSE. The scammers are allowed to continue using their platforms from which to launch and furhter their scams, which are easily running into the millions of dollars in just a very short time.

THEY DO NOT PROVIDE A MEANS TO REPORT FRAUD OR THEFT via their platforms! There is no menu option for it. in any way, shape or form. No possible to notify them of FRAUD or THEFT involving extremely large sums of cash, and even when a user is reported as posing as someone else they DO NOTHING to terminate the abuse and account in my own experience, past and present.
I agree, its so unfair she was basically saying today, you can do nothing lol, its true what can we do

Very similar story. Facebook outreach, WhatsApp, 30ish, Divorced, into charity, goes to the mountains to help under privileged kids, etc etc. Month or two of chatting, then introduced her way to make easy money trading Forex, her aunt has inside information and "hears" about things before they happen, did the MT5 thing with simulated account using HK Selead Group ... over the past several weeks pressure is mounting to open a real account ... the whole situation was at yellow flag level before that, now reading what others have gone through it is fully red and alarms are blaring! One recent flag for me when she gave me the name of the contact at her broker in HK I asked if I should use her name if I decided to open an account ... she has gone by "Susan" so I asked her what her real name was, she said Susan is her real name ... now I have been to China more than 20 times on business and have yet to run into a person with a westernized name who did not have a Chinese name (I am sure they are out there and equally sure unicorns exist as well). Well at that point alarms were going off and I wasn't keen on sending money offshore. So I just told her I had a Forex capable account with a domestic broker (TD Ameritrade), well that got her into a bit of a tirade about how I can only get 50:1 leverage here and they can get 300:1 with HK Selead and how I can't do trades locally because with the money I will make the authorities will investigate, etc etc. Me, not being into doing illegal things started searching for HK Selead Group and scams and that brought me here. I will post Susan's info here in case it helps someone else. Luckily this has been no more than an interesting distraction so far and no money has changed hands and no personal info has been transmitted (although I am changing ALL my passwords to make double sure nothing leaked out). I hope this story prevents someone else from going through what others have gone through ... for that I have the utmost empathy.
