This scammer's are running a ponzi project and using other people's identity on their team section. They are trying to get people by sending PM via Telegram. I will suggest everyone to keep proper distance from this money stealing ponzi project.

One thing to note is the guy in the picture is not Franklin J. Hackman but rather Nathan Grisham another author who had made his book available in Amazon and audible.com. It is just showing in Hackman's profile because his pic was tagged under by customers' also bought section luckily I spotted Grisham's page (https://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Grisham/e/B087YZSY1L?ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_sims_vu00_r0_c0) under that, also here is Nathan Grisham's audible page (https://www.audible.com/author/Nathan-Grisham/B087YZSY1L?ref=a_author_Na_c19_lAuthor_1_1_1&pf_rd_p=1ae0e65e-ad09-4aa7-aa73-772cefb1b5e1&pf_rd_r=H225BQ585MZT4WEFM6V3) for another reference.

Thanks for providing all these sources.

I have also got that members real profile during my investigation but didn't make the post much longer by adding all details. Their return packages are enough to prove their real intention and in that case revealing team is not so necessary IMO. This guys have joined most of the crypto exchanges official telegram channel and whenever they see anyone is joining there then they send personal texts with their money stealing website link (Referral) .

They sent me PM today;

You are correct that high yield interest rates are enough to prove them as a scam. Also I don't venture that much in Telegram channels but I know certain channels allow you to report other users for things like this, have you reported this user on trying to lure you in a scam? I know it will be hard to track since they might be using multiple accounts and are not promoting their hyip directly in these channels but I think it's also good that these channels are aware that they are picking of users in their scams.

Can confirm, they are located in a business centre in Manchester. I can't Google search the images but the CEO John Williams is a pretty common name to look at. It is an unbelievable yield, rational people will be thinking that this is too good to be true but there will be people there that will fall for this trap. One thing I find common in this ponzi project is that they try to show their total deposits and total withdraws, as if that proves a thing. If you stumble upon this kind of projects, if they show a business certificate proving that they are legal operations, do not believe them. Networking groups in my country can register their scam business to SEC and do their thing. Many people lower their guard down when they see this. When business shows you everything they have for validity and credibility, chances are they might be a shady project.

I took a different investigative route, I used the address and the company number posted on their website:


There was a hit about a "Deluxe" company with that address, but if you look closely at the company address, it's different.

Then checking their company number 11444160, the name of the company and the address is different.

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11444160

For sure this company is fake.

Its pretty much clear to all of us that they are using all fake information on their website and collected everything from different places. Actually they have chosen their domain name by matching with this company name "Deluxe" and its a simple trick by which they are keeping their web visitors in the dark side. Whenever anyone will try to justify the company license they will get the name "Deluxe Trader Limited" and people will think that its real. 

Most probably they made a mistake during placing their company number and forgot to put the one which is for "Deluxe Trader Limited". keep in mind that scammers will always make some mistake and their real faces will be revealed by following that clue.
