    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.

ℹ️ Info ⭐ Reviews ❓FAQ
I am SO GLAD this FORUM and THREAD is appearing in web search engines and doing some good, when I was lured into the scam there was nothing like this anywhere to be found.

I reported the fraud and scam to the FBI, they directed me to file an IC3.com report for internet fraud. It is a lengthy process, since I had a lot of evidence, information and details on the scammers and have done extensive research to uncover the shell companies and the people behind this mess.

Although Hong Kong Selead Group PTY LTD first appears August 2021 these mutherf&^%ers first appeared in Australia business banking registrations 2013 under the name HLK Group PTY, same name used to register HK Selead. I have names and Australian addresses of the two men who appear to be original perpetrators of this criminal organization, as well as a Chinese person living in Australia.

Email for HK Selead is:
service@hkselead.com
technology@hkselead.com

The entire investment is fake including the account balances, the charts, the values, etc. Your money was stolen the minute you wired funds to them. Now they will likely tell you that you owe them the $77K however do not pay any taxes, fees, etc. You need to start filing reports with the authorities. What country are you from?
 
Since reading posts on this thread I can say my experience has been remarkably similar.
My first contact with Mary Lin, owner of a beauty salon in Singapore, was in January 2022 via Twitter and we eventually moved over to WhatsApp. Mary told me she has a godmother who works at Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore. The godmother periodically sends Mary advice on which currency pair to trade in on MT5 based on her analysis of the Forex market and when to close the contracts.

Mary said she would like to make money with me and suggested I download MT5 before opening a demo account with Hong Kong Selead. After two dummy runs of trading where I made a profit, Mary said I was ready to open a real account. Mary offered to contact Nicole, a foreign exchange specialist with HKS, requesting she contact me via WhatsApp. Nicole sent me a message within minutes and asked for my personal details to open a real account. Once the account was opened I could then deposit funds after Nicole had given me a remittance account.

After the account was opened I contacted Nicole again and she requested I remit funds to a Hong Kong bank in favour of LB Shoe Co Ltd. also in Hong Kong. LB Shoe Co were incorporated on 21 October 2021. I thought paying my deposit to a newly incorporated third party looked suspicious so I searched for reviews of Hong Kong Selead. Everything I had read about HKS said they are a scam. I have therefore blocked Mary and Nicole on WhatsApp.

Thankfully, I escaped unscathed but can see on this forum that some have suffered significant financial loss.

Hong Kong Selead should be removed from MT5 and their website taken down but how this can be achieved I wouldn't know.
 
I was contacted by Elijah with mychargeback.com, an asset recovery company. Based on the particulars of my situation, i.e. my personal financial loss with HK Selead Group was approx. 320k, and I used crypto to fund the account, so I was quoted $12,500 as the cost for mychargeback.com to complete the crypto trace report, plus 20% of the recovery amount as their total cost. Has anyone had experience working with an asset recovery company to recover scammed funds? In particular, mychargeback.com? Thank you for your feedback.

Most Asset Recovery companies are ran by scammers also. You must be very cautious if you decide to hire one of these companies. For everyone in this thread, please see the video below about these scams. They are called pig butchering.
