AG Partners Group - Experiences: Investment scammers rip off investors

24.06.2022
AG Partners Group pretends that the investor is granted perfect conditions to make money online trading as fast as it is safe. Everything at AG Partners Group is investment fraud. The money has gone straight into the pockets of the investment scammers. Not a cent has been invested. Everything the investor sees on their screen is fake. Nothing is traded at AG Partners Group. Have you had similar experiences? How do investors get their money back from dubious providers? What can investors do who have been defrauded by AG Partners Group? What help is available in the event of investment fraud?
 

AG Partners: Suspicious promises on the website
What are surprised investors being served up on the AG Partners website? "While you maintain full transparency and ownership of your accounts, we provide you with world-class classified, researched and analysed information. Your money always stays with you! We only advise on how to increase it." This is just a small sample of the overblown assurances investors will find on AG Partners' website. Not a single one of these full-bodied promises by AG Partners has been kept. Sadly, the questionable business conduct rather makes for disappointed investors and bad experiences!

AG Partners: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the AG Partners makers is that the website does not contain an imprint. Thus, the complete information about the legally responsible operators of the website is missing. If one takes a look at the domain data of the AG Partners website, there are no references to the operators. However, one learns that the domain was only registered on 07.05.2021 with NameSilo, LLC. The real domain owners are hiding behind the anonymisation service See PrivacyGuardian.org.

AG Partners: Who is behind it?
Many investors will find it rather difficult to answer this question, as the AG Partners makers do everything they can to conceal the true circumstances. However, this is nothing unusual. The perpetrators usually operate several of these websites with the same fraudulent business model. These are created in advance, quickly put on the net and just as quickly shut down. The top-level domain is often changed in order to deceive the financial supervisory and law enforcement authorities. But who is the operator? There is scant information about this on the AG Partners website. Although the company AG Partners-Group with the business address THOMAS-KLESTIL-PLATZ 14, 1030 WIEN, AUSTRIA is given, the makers of AG Partners cannot be found under this address. In addition, there is the obligatory support e-mail address and the telephone number +43720231841. A worldwide search for AG Partners in the relevant registers leads to no result. This makes it clear that this is a purely imaginary product.

AG Partners: The customer acquisition of the investment fraudsters
The same approach can be found here again and again: In order to attract new clients, AG Partners' recommendations are advertised in all conceivable media and channels. Often enough, these recommendations are false information. To increase the effectiveness, they upload image films on Youtube or Vimeo in which interested investors are convinced with fictitious references. Here, supposed celebrities report on their experiences with online trading and cryptocurrencies, often with a misleading reference to the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen". At the same time, an affiliate programme is usually started to spur others to advertise intensively for AG Partners.

AG Partners: Criminal business practices
As soon as the customer has registered on the trading platform, he receives calls from alleged financial brokers who like to refer to their years of experience and their satisfied customer base. In many cases, however, the makers of this business model are fraudsters, against whom the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) also warn. Investors usually start with a small amount of money. Beforehand, the investors are often motivated to install remote maintenance software such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer on their computers so that they can supposedly receive help with the first steps. In many cases, the computer is manipulated afterwards and unwanted transactions are carried out. In the process, the investment fraudsters often also gain access to their victims' online banking. What is particularly criminal, however, is when supposed profits are displayed on the trading platform in order to entice the customer to place further high stakes. Sometimes even small sums are paid back to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to increase the stakes further? But what happens next?

AG Partners: Repayment of the money is subject to conditions
Once in, it is usually impossible to get out. Instead, the administrators of the investment scams tie repayment of the money to further deposits. This is where employees come into play who claim alleged tax debts and commission payments. If these are settled, the alleged profits are paid out. The perpetrators send investors self-made tax and commission statements, often decorated with fake coats of arms. These would have to be paid urgently. It is never possible to offset them against the alleged profits. If an investor refuses to make further deposits, supposed profits are turned into losses through senseless transactions and the client is damaged to the maximum. The horror does not end there, but investors are permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers. This indicates that the investors' contact details are traded on among the investment fraudsters. In the end, a "saviour" regularly calls claiming to have uncovered the whole scam. He impresses with his insider knowledge. No wonder, since he is part of the fraud gang. The next rip-off! And of course the "rescuer" also wants a small fee - in advance!

AG Partners: Scheme of Investment Fraud?
The online broker AG Partners is not authorised. AG Partners lacks the legitimacy of a recognised European financial supervisory authority, such as the English Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySec), which is frequently used by brokers. Likewise, there is no authorization from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (finma) or the Financial Market Authority (FMA) of Austria, which is responsible for Switzerland.. It is not difficult to see that AG Partners is a scheme of capital investment fraud. All investors harmed by AG Partners are advised to consult an investment fraud lawyer immediately.

AG Partners: Where are the fraudsters active?
Unfortunately, the illegal activities of AG Partners are not limited to the English-speaking world. Because AG Partners also addresses German-speaking investors, it is only a matter of time before the defrauded investors of this speaker group also come forward. Going through the list of regulators is advisable before any financial commitment to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of investment fraud.

AG Partners: Investors want their money!
Fortunately, the situation is more promising than it seems. The aggrieved investors can defend themselves and reclaim their invested capital. At the moment, it is not likely that the investment fraudsters from AG Partners will be caught soon, but there is still reason for hope. The reason for this is the fact that the money transactions took place via accounts that were actually provided by reputable financial institutions. They demonstrably failed to check the legitimacy of the investors' deposits, some of which were high and therefore subject to controls. Such omissions enabled the investment fraudsters to carry out their criminal activities in the first place.

AG Partners: They want their money back! How does that work?
Equipped with this knowledge, no one would have agreed to invest with AG Partners. Now the only option left for those who were deceived is to seek compensation for the loss. Many investors cannot even imagine that there is a real chance of ever seeing their money again. Probably all of them are now asking themselves whether they can get their money back? Clearly yes! There are numerous legal bases to fall back on. The generic term is "money laundering". When investment fraudsters collect money, the offence of money laundering has been committed. Financial institutions are obliged to take action against money laundering. This is where one starts with good chances of success. For this purpose, essential points should be clarified. Where did the funds embezzled from AG Partners end up? Can investors somehow get back the money they invested with AG Partners? What actions are necessary from now on? A lawyer specialised in investment fraud will be happy to answer such questions thoroughly.

AG Partners: Who can help?
What to do in case of investment fraud? What help can victims of AG Partners hope for in the event of investment fraud?
