Sorry to hear you were the victim of this scam of that company. My rule of thumb for vetting any company in regards to anything finance related (that are not huge or well known financial companies):
- Find the testimonials page/portion of the site (most scams will have them and they try to seem legitimate by adding photos of the person giving testimonial)
- Right-click the photo of any person listed and search google. This usually turns up a stock image or stolen social media profile pic.
If no photos in testimonials, run the same search on any photos on the company's site. It will usually flush out the non-sense as well.
ps - I would encourage you to file a complaint with I3 (https://www.ic3.gov/) if in the USA
Thanks for the advice. But I am not going to report it. Just want to warn the masses and to prevent others from getting suckered into one of these sites
