The company it was previously registered in the UK with FALSE details.

Notice to the muppets harassing the people at the FALSE address given at the companies office. "John ERIC" does not exist and a random fake address was used in the registration process. The use of FALSE details led to the company being struck-off

Since I notified the UK companies office it has now been gazetted for a compulsory strike off. (Notice the address is now the default companies office address)

Buzzfeed ran a great story about it.

John Eric who supposebly runs it is BOGUS. Quote" BuzzFeed News was unable to find any information about iCenter’s owners or its parent company. A UK Companies House registration document from October that was posted by iCenter and featured Eric’s name, listed an address at 120 Fleet Street in London, but the only tenant of that address is Goldman Sachs’ London office. "We can confirm that none of these entities or people are connected to Goldman Sachs," a spokesperson for the company said in a statement."

Quote" Buzzfeed also looked up icenter.co’s associated IP address and uncovered a host of other associated websites — many of them tied to other investment bots. One associated site with the same IP address was customhyipbot.com (HYIP is an acronym for high-yield investment program), which promises in broken English to build custom Telegram bots for any kind of project."

Responding to a BuzzFeed News inquiry, “Md Khaled” offered to build a bot similar to iCenter's. The script itself would cost just $500 plus $100 a month hosting.

“If you need to make scam it’s only for you, you can stop bot at any time.” he stated.

They have since moved their registration to Belize.

Any possible legal actions to take? Is there investigation on the way or people gave up already?

If you have lost funds as a result of the scam you need to file a complaint with the UK police and UK companies office. The only way this sort of stuff gets stopped is by people laying complaints with the authorities

Don't rely on others to make reports. I initially alerted the UK companies office through an intermediary to the fraudulent and fake registration resulting in the company being de-registered.

But victims of this fraud should make individual reports to the UK police and UK companies office. The more complaints they get  - the more likely they will investigate it properly.
