EXPOSED: MODUS OPERANDI #2 OF INVESTMENT SCAM SITE: FINANCE-BASE.LTD
Simply sharing:
Based on my due diligence and careful research, with the help of my 2 sisters from London, here are the salient points and "red flags" to be aware of, and that need to be shared with my fellow investors here on this platform, as follows:
RED FLAG #1: Finance-Base.LTD is not a registered company in the U.K. nor specifically in England . First off, if you're based in England, U.K., and intend to do business there, you need to register in these following REGISTERS:
Check this out:
1)Investment Firms Register, U.K.
Note: Company is NOT REGISTERED
2) Register of Small Registered UK AIFMs
Note: Company is NOT REGISTERED
3) Financial Services Register. UK
Note: Company is NOT REGISTERED
4) Company Registration is non-existent.
5) Contact address is borrowed:
Note: The address on the website says: "C/O Clever Accounts LTD", thus they are borrowing another company's address.
Here is the full address on their website:
"Our CONTACTS:
Address: C/O Clever Accounts Ltd Brookfield Court, Selby Road, Leeds, England, LS25 1NB"
CLEVER ACCOUNTS.LTD is an ACCOUNTING FIRM based at the same address as FINANCE-BASE.LTD is using on their website.
RED FLAG #2: CUSTOMER SERVICE as provided by the ADMINS on Telegram and the ADMIN on the website is nowhere near EFFICIENT but SELECTIVE, i.e. if they know that you are an interested investor, they will encourage you with "sweet words" like OUR WEBSITE is on "automatic process", "your money is safe and secure", and "withdrawals are on "automatic" instantly sent to your wallet address in 5-15 minutes".
But in reality, when the time comes that you would like to make a withdrawal from your account, the ADMIN will assure you that "the profit/withdrawal will be received in your wallet within 5-15 minutes". THIS IS TOTALLY NON-EXISTENT and NEVER HAPPENED to me with my measly withdrawal of $276 worth of ETH. I just could imagine what if I made a withdrawal more than that, like say $1,000. WHOAH!
For your information,I attached the jpeg files of my chat threads with their ADMINS on Telegram and that ADMIN on the website, plus the screenshots of the various agencies in the U.K. with whom registration is a requirement when the company is doing business in the U.K.
IN CONCLUSION, BEWARE OF THIS SCAM SITE: FINANCE-BASE.LTD (
https://finance-base.ltd/) AND I ADVISE YOU NOT TO BE NEAR IT.. WATCH OUT FOR THIS SCAM SITE!
