In the world of business, there are unfortunately those who seek to make a quick buck at the expense of others. One such group of scammers has been preying on unsuspecting individuals by posing as a legitimate company and taking advantage of a slight difference in their name.
FAKE:
This so-called company has been operating under a name "Global Tickmill" that is nearly identical to that of a well-known and reputable trading company "Tickmill". The difference is so slight that it can be easy to miss, especially for those who are not paying close attention. This group of scammers has been using this tactic to lure in individuals of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh, but end up getting duped into giving away their hard-earned money.
REAL:
The way this scam works is that the scammers invite the people to join their Telegram group from different channels especially social media accounts where they suggest you to do little things & get paid but once you follow them there, They ask you to make an account on their website which seems legit & look almost identical to those of the real company but it's not in reality. They have used similar logos, color schemes, and even domain names that are very similar to the legitimate company's website.
Once the individuals land on the scammer's website & make an account, they put a $5 into your account as a welcome bonus to gain the trust but after a day or two they ask you to put $10 into it so that they will make it $15. They have created 7 different stages of fooling people.
Stage 1 : Put $10 & get $15
Stage 2 : Put $30 & get $48
Stage 3 : Put $100 & get $200
Stage 4 : Put $500 & get $1000
Stage 5 : Put $1000 & get 2000
Stage 6 : Put $2000 & get $4000
Stage 7 : Put $5000 & get $10000
However, once the payment is made, the scammers disappear, leaving the individual without any clue and without any hope of recovering their money.
The worst part of this scam is that many individuals may not even be aware that they have been scammed, and may not realize that they have been taken advantage of until it is too late. It is important for individuals to be vigilant when searching for services online. They should always double-check the name of the company they are dealing with, and make sure that they are on the legitimate website. It is also important to read reviews and do research on the company before making any payment.
In conclusion, it is unfortunate that there are individuals out there who seek to scam others on the name of a legitimate company. It is important for individuals to be aware of this type of scam and take steps to protect themselves from falling victim to it. By being vigilant and doing research before making any payment, individuals can avoid being scammed and protect their hard-earned money.
