Problem Knights service group tinder scam

[NotquiteSure]

Don't think you can do that because the money is on their end and the company is fake. I have tried it before with a different company but same story. If is possible, can you post the bank account info that your money were transferred to on this forum? So, if other people try to search it then it will pops on google.

Just tried to go the China MPS Link: http://cyberpolice.mps.gov.cn/

However, it is timing out whenever I try to access it. Is there an updated link you could share?

That’s the only link and you have to tried several times because it’s really hard for people from outside China to get in. I have tried several times and a friend who reads chinese helped me with the reporting. Just be patience, you’ll get in it.

There is another thread about Knights and a poster there appears to know who users should contact for assistance.

Problem - Scammed by Knight Service Group for US $1.44M

I have read a few accounts of the same situations and many said to start a new thread about the issues

I met someone one tinder, Xia Qiaolan who claimed to be a Chinese business owner. After speaking for a few weeks all day and every day the discussion eventually turned to investment. I trialled the mt5 knight service group practice account before putting in $200 into a real account.

After a few trades it had made a small profit and I then deposited $5000 in. The 5k hasn't cleared into the account in a few days, the money went through a national australia bank account, I think the account was owned by NDAK medical supplies?

The woman, presumably, I was speaking to would always send me photos, daily, photos with her family, friends etc. I reversed image searched all her photos using 2 different sites and nothing comes up so the images don't appear to be on any social media or anything else.

Also if this is a scam they are the most patient scammers in history, she was teaching me mandarin (I am a slow learner), teaching me about Chinese culture, basically never mentioning money or trading.

Regardless I thought I was pretty on the ball but I guess not. I am fairly confident I won't get the funds back but at least I learned a lesson right

After going back on tinder with a dummy account I noticed a dozen more Chinese women, all 29-31, business owners and all seem to have an uncle or aunt that is an analyst and all odly enough 18-20km from me, one even stated she was quarantined at the Chinese consulate in Perth which is 19km away from my location and all eventually lead to knights service group, which I only found out was dodgy after the 5k didn't ckear

I attached a few photos of the girl in question

This is the same chick that got $265K from me and her brokerage buddy was Mr. Peter who was in the UK. Started out with this Knights Service Group and the started a new company Clearing Falcon Group. I had the exact same experience and I'd like to know how i can get my funds back. I have read Knights Service Group was sued for a millions. Is there anything i can do to get my money back? I have been contacted by companies from USA and Israel wanting to help for a 10% upfront fee. That's BS. then they want 7% of what they retrieve,. Retrieve of nothing means i loose another 26.5K - highway robbery and scammer as well to me.

So far it looks like they are all Chinese. However, there are cases that the Russians are doing also. Honey trap and big money if you could convince anyone to hand you over 10k USD after 2 to 3 months chatting.

The reason why you guys couldn't reversed image search the photos they sent you, generally because these photos were harvested from Baidu.com, Chinese search engine.

And it curious me why wouldn't anyone had a background check the website first before proceed to deposit. It takes only a few clicks to check up whether if this site is new, the address of the company is valid, if the licensed acquired is valid etc.

I’ve been messaged by one of these and tbh it’s an obvious and desperate scam

Hello Friends

Thank you to gokussj4af for mentioning his detailed story - helped me to pick up and dodge an almost identical scam.

I'll detail my interaction with my Tinder mistress so that maybe it can help someone somewhere in the world avoid a similar fate.

In addition, here is a link to the best summary of this type of scam that I have found on the web so you, the reader, can get a detailed overview of the honey trap scam and how it plays out:

bkk-lifestyle.com/knowledge/the-tinder-forex-scam-how-attractive-chinese-women-lure-men-into-a-honey-trap

- Anyways, on with the story -

Feb I matched with a Tinder Gold profile called Zzoe zoe (picture of a facebook photo as of 7 Feb 2021 attached) Tinder profile also had the same background on facebook - that of a cliffside view. Profile user location was from Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur . Match was in Mid- December 2020.

After a short while chatting the scammer asked to move to whatsapp. Scammer alleged profession was the beauty industry as an affluent self employed makeup artist, also side gigs in property and trading forex. Hobbies/ interests - Tennis, Marvel, Pokemon. Family - 1 sibling, father deceased, mother - whom in initial conversations went shopping with over the Christmas holidays in Singapore and I received photos of an expensive watch and bag 'Zoe' bought as gifts for her mom. (Could all be made up).

Apologies - deleted the other photos I received and the phone number but noticeable indicators on almost all photos received were the very large oval glasses, red lipstick, rose-gold necklace chain with a rose gold ring connected to it.

Through January 2021 scammer and I were talking regularly including the odd weekends. I'd occasionally receive additional photos of 'Zoe' out with friends or selfies (not lewd). Written English was pretty good however the scammer avoided moving to voice or video chats and when questioned, the one, female (this does not necessarily mean it is the girl in the photo, or a female phone user i.e could be a pre-recorded message or a male user using a female accomplice/ voice modifier) few seconds voice note I received was that her spoken english was not very good and when probed further dodged the issue. We continued exclusively with typed conversations.

On occasion when talking about their day, they would drop a casual mention of an upcoming forex trade, and later their wins, that they were doing and how well they had done in the past, with the assistance of a broker , (misspelled each time borker) Mr Gavin, who the scammer had' met through an aunt'. I didn't ask any further questions, it wasn't a topic that interested me.

Fast forward to the first week of Feb and now another casual forex drop along with, for the first time, a screen shot of their winnings. Now when I asked further I get a story of her using an automated MT5 app and that a minimum of $3000 is needed to get started, she can show me how its done, Mr Gavin the borker etc. Also now casually dropping heart-based emojis during conversations.

Fast forward to yesterday where now its $500 to get started because she had just learned a new strategy from Mr Gavin and wanted to share with her friends. So when I asked for more info I received a link to crm.garsonforex.com (pls dont click this without a vpn and the basic pc/internet protection)

I'm the type who does due diligence before entering anything financial so a quick google search of this company brought me here. When informing 'zoe' that I hadn't entered any information into the form and also sending her this site, asking her why there are similarities between our over a month long interaction, Mr Gavin, Garsonforex being mentioned etc. I got a 'I am sad, dont you trust me message'.

When still pushing for answers I was left on unread - I assume blocked cos the scammer knew the jig was up.

Hope that helps. go well, go safe
