The billion-dollar scam: How companies used Premier League sponsorship to target unsuspecting football fans.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 bbc.in/3VyyriM
Investigative reporter Simona Weinglass leads a #BBCEye investigation into a criminal network, believed to have scammed more than a billion dollars from victims across the globe.
The organisation sponsored a top-tier football club to promote its online trading platform, promising investors the chance of astonishing returns. But what lies behind the claims? The search - from a mansion in London, to a forest in Scandinavia and a call centre in Georgia - reveals a web of deceit. We hear from victims, undercover agents and police, in a bid to track down who’s in charge.
15/03/24: This programme is the subject of a legal complaint by Mr Kezerashvili, who says its contents as they relate to him are false and defamatory.

Wtf? The source if the crime is abroad. What exactly can our police do? There is a special unit that you report to, anonymous if required. Scams are highlighted and bank's ask if you make unusual large withdrawals. Get grief from customers too. Greed drives this. I actually feel sorry for anyone with an Indian accent. Not likely to succeed in sales in the UK 😂😂😂😂

Not just one. Almost every Forex/commodities trading company is a scam; it's not just the 'Milton Group' - City of London is the mother of them all which BBC conveniently fails to mention. I used to work for one at the highest level. Know the scam inside-out. Anyone can start such a company for under $100,000 dollars. You can buy the white-label software, rent the servers to install it, buy the feeds, register the company in Malta (or another British tax haven) and off you go. And it is all legal.

His answer was spot on ... where are the UK police in all this. I am not anti police inspite of all their short falls, sadly we still need cops ... but the total absance of UK police leaves me thinking - simple incompetance or worse protection of local intitutional financial collusion.

I'm British, I had a boss a few years ago who got scammed between £1 mil - £1.5 mil. From an private equity investment scam. He told me when he reported the crime, British police already knew and simply weren't interested in resolving it - because it was an international scam. More than that, there were no reports publicising the scam on the gov.uk website, or anywhere online, verified by the British state/police/govt.

My impression has been that London specifically has been very important hub for money laundering between Saudi and Russian national operations. The amount of money which is transferred is mind blowing. Hundreds of billions. Reason it has been able to go like that is due the extraordinary challenges to prove it is blood money. What need to be understood is the money laundering is only a symptom for the real disease: natinonally supported organized crime. Every country has it but some thrive from it like Saudis and Russians (and many ex Soviet nations). It all boils down of complete disregard and even hate towards other ”systems”. Religion and lack of it at both extremes create the disrespect towards other people. I’d count in as a religion also greediness. The overwhelming desire to own things with zero empathy. This is why beheading is normal tactics with Saudis, Russians and other ISIS-alike regimes. Only thing we can do (I believe) is to break ”the money loop”. Make the money worthless.

They have a great example to follow if the largest financial frauds are anything to go by. Get enough money and you’re untouchable. Go to a territory with no extradition policy and you’re safe. KZfaq pushes these schemes at every opportunity because they pay advertising fees and look like credible financial systems. The education pushers are telling you the truth because they sold you their education product so their system works and your purchase added to the revenue returns they proclaim are the potential you’ll have after buying their product, which increases their appeal, and so on, indefinitely, making their claims of a self perpetuating income with little actual effort, true. Caveat emptor. If it’s too good to be true it’s probably a scam.

Because they don’t live where you live, and the cost of living where they live is way more expensive. That $300,000 will only last them just a few short years when rent is £50,000 a year, not to mention food, clothing, medical, transport, etc. These days that is not a lot of money to have to live on for the next 30 or 40 years until you die.

I made an initial enquiry with a 'trade' company several years ago. I decided not to go ahead and advised the caller accordingly. I was then harassed for about 3 years by this company, which had a Birmingham phone number. It was only when I changed my approach from distressed to proactive enquiring about their company i.e. I sounded very keen to get as much information about the Trading Company that they stopped calling me. The line I took was that if they were going to persist in calling me then I needed as much information about the company as possible so that I could then do due diligence regarding verifying the company is legitimate. Starting with the street address and the name.of the CEO.

The government agents and prosecutors and judges all benefit from scaring the public while not actually doing anything productive to stop scamming. The reality is they can't stop it, but they can bilk the public out of millions through taxes and fraudulent claims they're doing something. The government can't do anything, but you can. There are potential cheap technical solutions to these scams. First we need to teach people to be skeptical. 2nd people need to research investments before they take the risk as all investments involve risk. Third the technical solution to minimizing the ability of scammers to scan vulnerable and elderly folks is education AND accounts that restrict but do not stop people from accessing their money and investments. An alert could be sent to a loved one or financial advisor anytime an amount of money is being sent/withdrawn/wired that puts a person over by a percentage what they'd normally spend on a monthly basis. This would provide an opportunity for people who are in the process of being victimized to stop the transfer of larger amounts of money. As it stands banks have to do something called KYC. KYC however is a scam. It's called know your customer, but it doesn't stop scams. It's mostly just used to to go after people the government doesn't like and minimize competition in the marketplace for financial services and products. The government likes being able to abuse the financial system to target those it or some people don't like. Did you go to a protest against the guy in power? Don't be surprised when your bank account is frozen. That happened recently in Canada to tens of thousands of people. The US does something similar to certain groups of people. Ever work in the sex industry (legally that is)... expect to have your bank account closed. There is no law, but the regulators sent every financial institution a letter threatening to suspend banking licenses if they didn't suspend the accounts of "sex traffickers" and that is code for anyone in the sex industry. It was already illegal for the banks to knowingly do business with criminals after all. The officials got away with that and they're getting away with this sort of thing to oppress political opposition regularly now. The democrats utilized the IRS to go after conservatives at some point here in the past 5 - 10 years. It was a bit of a scandal. You don't think they stopped doing that did you? I'm not a conservative, but I do speak out because what they can do the conservatives and socialists they can do to me.
