More and more doubts are spreading. Meanwhile, many investors of Alpha Invest Group are afraid that it is investment fraud. All Alpha Invest Group investors are wondering if they have become victims of investment fraud? And what can Alpha Invest Group investors do if the suspicion of investment fraud is confirmed? How can Alpha Invest Group investors get their money back? Does it make sense to file a criminal complaint against Alpha Invest Group with the police? What help is available in case of investment fraud?
Alpha Invest Group: Shady claims on the alphainvgroup.com website!
What do unsuspecting prospective investors have to receive on alphainvgroup.com? "As a company, Alpha Invest Group also offers innovative products and solutions for a wide range of portfolio management, including equities, fixed income, multi/private assets, and financial advisory...Alpha Invest Group is an investment firm led by a team of financial professionals who generate profits by buying and selling cryptocurrencies, stocks, solar energy, options, and commodities, as well as real estate investments...We use a variety of financial techniques to achieve set goals for our clients." This is just a small sample of the suspect promises that the curious can find on Alpha Invest Group's website. None of these lofty promises by Alpha Invest Group have been kept. Disappointingly, the half-secret business conduct rather makes for disappointed investors and miserable experiences!
Alpha Invest Group: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the Alpha Invest Group 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 you take a look at the domain data of the Alpha Invest Group website, you will not find any information about the operators. However, one learns that the domain was registered only on 10.05.2021 with NameCheap, Inc. The real domain owners hide behind the Icelandic anonymization service Withheld for Privacy ehf.
Alpha Invest Group: Who is behind it?
Answering this question will be rather difficult for many investors, as the Alpha Invest Group makers do everything 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 online, and just as quickly shut down. The top-level domain is often changed to deceive financial regulators and law enforcement agencies. But who is the operator? On the website of Alpha Invest Group, there is only scanty information about this. Although the company Alpha Invest Group Limited with the business address Naglerwiesenstrasse, 58 Zurich, 8049 Switzerland is given, the makers of Alpha Invest Group cannot be found under this address. In addition, there is the obligatory support e-mail address but no telephone number. The worldwide search for Alpha Invest Group in the relevant registers leads to no result. That clarifies that it concerns in this case a pure fantasy product.
Alpha Invest Group: The customer acquisition of the investment fraudsters
Here again and again the same proceeding is found: To attract new customers, the offers of Alpha Invest Group are propagated in all possible media and channels. Again and again, these offers are false promises. To increase the deception, they upload promotional videos on YouTube, in which interested investors are convinced with fictitious references. Here, supposed celebrities report on their experiences with online trading and cryptocurrencies, often with the erroneous reference to the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen". With the same goal, an affiliate program is often started to incite others to intensively promote Alpha Invest Group.
Alpha Invest Group: 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 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. Usually, the investors start with a small sum as employment. Beforehand, investors are also often motivated to install remote maintenance software, such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer on their computers, so that assistance can supposedly be provided with the first steps. In many cases, the computer is subsequently manipulated and unwanted transactions are carried out. In the process, the investment fraudsters also frequently gain access to their victims' online banking. What is particularly criminal, however, is when supposed profits are displayed on the trading platform to entice the customer to place further high stakes. In some cases, even small sums are returned to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to increase the stakes further? But what happens next?
Alpha Invest Group: Repayment of the money is attached to conditions
Once in, an exit is mostly impossible. Rather, the administrators of the investment scammers tie the repayment of the money to further deposits. This is where employees come in, claiming alleged tax debts and commission payments. If these are settled, it would come to the disbursement of the allegedly obtained profits. The perpetrators send the investors self-made tax and commission statements, often decorated with fake coats of arms. These would have to be paid urgently. A clearing with the allegedly obtained profits is never possible. If an investor refuses further deposits, alleged profits are converted by senseless transactions into losses and the customer is maximally damaged. This is not the end of the horror, but investors are permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers. This indicates that the contact details of the investors are further traded among the investment fraudsters. In the end, a "savior" regularly comes forward, 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 "savior" also wants a small fee - in advance!
Alpha Invest Group: Scheme of investment fraud?
There is no regulation of the Alpha Invest Group trading platform. Alpha Invest Group lacks authorization from a recognized European 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. For this, there is a warning from finma dated 26.10.2021. It is also obvious that Alpha Invest Group is a scheme of capital investment fraud. All those harmed by Alpha Invest Group are advised to consult an investment fraud attorney as soon as possible.
Alpha Invest Group: Where are the fraudsters active?
Unfortunately, the illegal activities of Alpha Invest Group are not limited to English-speaking countries. Because Alpha Invest Group addresses German-speaking investors as well, it is only a matter of time until the defrauded investors of this speaker group will come forward as well. Going through the list of regulators is advisable before any financial commitment to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of investment fraud.
Alpha Invest Group: Investors want their money back!
Fortunately, the situation is better than it seems. The aggrieved investors can take action against the investment fraud and demand their invested capital back. As of today, it is not expected that the investment fraudsters of Alpha Invest Group will be caught promptly, but there is still reason for hope. The reason for this is the fact that the money transactions were made through accounts provided by reputable financial institutions. These have demonstrably failed to check the sometimes high and therefore controllable deposits of the investors and their forwarding for legality. Such failures enabled the investment fraudsters to carry out their criminal activities in the first place.
