Title: [SCAM] Lex Capital(s) Investment Company
Post by: Rikafip on September 12, 2019, 06:31:25 AM
Few days ago I have  been contacted via Telegram by one of the agents ( @oliviaalex) from Lex Capital, an investment company.

Few things stood out when i checked them a bit:

-First  of all, they are not even sure whether they are called Lex Capitals or Lex Capital, those 2 names keep changing  constantly.

-They offer incredibly high profit as it can be seen in the picture below. 10 % profit after only 65 minutes!! You have to be kidding me.

-Various pictures of alleged meetings of Lex Capital investors in their Telegram channel  as seen in the picture below

But, when you google image that picture, you get something completely different

https://www.businesscornwall.co.uk/news-by-industry/events-and-networking/2019/03/cornwalls-fastest-growing-networking-group/

So obviously picture of meeting was taken from there and used as their own.



Another similar example of their "meeting", this time in Czech Republic.

For this one i had to do a bit more digging as google didn't find anything, but i managed to figure it out. Meeting  indeed took place in Czech Republic, but of course it didn't have anything to do with Lex Capital.It was actually a meeting between high officials of Netherland and Czech Republic, organised by Aspen Institute and Embassy of the Netherlands in Prague.
Here is the article from The Aspen Institute website with more pictures from the meeting

-Similar to those meetings pictures, there are bunch of testimonial videos in their Telegram channel about making easy money with Lex Capital, those are probably just paid random people to do something like that.

They also rely on  referral program  (https://lexcapitals.com/?a=cust&page=affiliates)  , where they give up to 8 % of the investment of each person you bring, making it easier to spread and even more people falling for this.


After all this i think it is safe to say that this is a scam, so beware people. No legit investment company would take  pictures from someone else's meetings and use them as their own, that is a huge red flag! They might sound  believable, but when something is too good to be true, you can be sure with 99.99%  certainty that it is a scam!

I have been scammed by lexcapitals.com

They use telegram channels to look for Innocents to "invest", once you send the money, you can be sure you are going to loose it.

There are different channels of telegram that you can find several people that had been also scammed.

Site looks like it was done in 30minutes and with a 10$ budget probably 3.50$.

Screams scam all over the place.

I am sorry to hear that, and i hope that you didn't loose big amount.

But at least i am sure that you learned the lesson, and that you won't give your money to anyone that promise you fast and easy profit.

Yep, that is basically rule of thumb: someone contacts you on Telegram  with an investment offer-100% scam.

I made it, some offices in UK, the telegram "trader" verifying it etc etc

In 2 minutes I realized this:

The phone number is from US.
Office might be in the Uk, but a simple google search shows that there are 239 companies (https://suite.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/tw7-4qe) there, you can create and rent a virtual office there for £
The funny part, there is also a company named GIRLS WHO DO LIMITED (https://opengovuk.com/company/10904870) there
Their company is actually registered for Motion picture production activities
The picture is obviously copied from some website as it's an office from Japan

There is nothing to be done now and I'm sorry for your loss but this is an example of how even a few seconds search can immediately raise suspicions about such "companies".
Probably if I dig more around it more would pop up, but what's the point now...

What you probably found is this  (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10934144) from companies house, but all that info can be easily faked. Or maybe you saw Certificate of Incorporation. Anyway, both of these things can be faked, here i explained the issue with that
