    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 Knights service group tinder scam

I am having an issue with a company
Hey Guys these guys are patient as i have been talking to a Asian lady based in hong kong and now living in Singapore. When talking to her it all seemed to nice to be true. I was told to make a mt5 account and also sent me .exe file on my phone (probably some malware). I guess they are patient to win trust and score big amount. Definately large scale operation. Luckily I never put any money in all used a demo version.

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
edc.beerax.com, exactly the same modus operandi
 
Reading these threads, sounds like the same group of scammers, who got me..

Now they must be using another website

hello, I think they cheated me too with Garson. Same kind of grooming from Tinder. I already had doubts yesterday. now I find confirmations. I made it clear that I could even pay $ 5,000 and then more every month. yesterday I asked for proof that everything worked, with a request to get back the money per capore that when I want I can withdraw money. he tells me that it is better to do it with cryptocurrency crediting on binance, because that would be instant. Do you advise me to do as they want and make believe that once everything is successful, I will pay everything again with even more money?

my doubt is having cryptocurrencies on binance is it possible then to have the money in the account?

do banks accept cryptocurrency?

is Binance trusted?

Attached are the photos of the woman he lured. among other things, he says he is from Singapore, always lived in Singapore, parents from Singapore and also has an English telephone address.

what do you recommend to do?
