We are receiving numerous reports from people who say they have been scammed by the company ‘Akq7896′ (http://akq7896.it): in fact we are drafting several complaints against the representatives of the aforementioned company with express request for recovery of the stolen capital.
So to the fateful question of whether ‘is it a scam or not’, the answer is the following: do not entrust your savings to this company!
I’ll explain why in detail.
1. Akq7896: is it a scam or not?
Over the last period we have been receiving many calls from people who report having problems with the apparent online work activity carried out by this company.
So, in light of what I have just explained to you, I invite you to proceed with extreme caution and carry out the appropriate checks if you decide to invest capital with this company (we strongly advise against it!!!).
We came to this awareness in light of the activity they proposed which consists of:
- ingenious telephone sales methods;
- from goading customers into placing online orders;
- from the establishment of real interpersonal relationships between ‘consultant’ and client;
- from the (now unfortunately usual) disappearance of consultants when the investor requests the withdrawal of the money invested and only apparently earned.
As with all online scams, even the first contact with the representatives of ‘Akq7896’ takes place through the instant messaging application called ‘WhatsApp’ (or dedicated chat) while subsequent contacts took place through telephone calls from users preferably with a foreign prefix.
During the calls made by the suspects ‘consulting’, the enormous earning potential deriving from investments in online work was falsely presented.
They often ask you for payments in cryptocurrency.
In fact, fake consultants have money transferred by saying that they will invest it on your behalf but, in reality, they don’t!!!
In principle, you should always stay away from those who offer you investments or jobs with certain earnings: there is no certainty that matters in the world of investments, risk is intrinsic in any type of investment!
The reason is intuitive: if they were truly certain investments and guaranteed fixed monthly profits -brokers often ensure a monthly return of 10% or more- , what interest would they have in wasting their precious time with third parties instead of focusing their time (and money) on ‘work platform’ proposed by themselves?!
Therefore, in light of what I have just explained to you, the ‘guaranteed investments’, i ‘certain monthly profits’ they represent the first alarm bells: if you find yourself in this situation, better contact a lawyer with experience in the online scam sector before even entrusting your savings to these people.
Preventive advice can save your wallet.
Obviously, the investment proposal also comes from ‘Akq7896’ it makes no difference compared to the fraudulent scheme that we have so far represented and used by many other companies that boast of certain and safe earnings.
Specifically, these bogus companies:
- they offer enormous earning potential;
- representing the absolute certainty that the invested capital will not be lost; inducing the person to make increasingly higher investments;
- have payments made to current accounts abroad;
- or through common cryptocurrency exchanges;
- when you request the repayment of the apparently earned capital they ask you for ‘taxes’ and/or ‘commissions’ through another outlay of money, which you absolutely must not do. Taxes must be paid in Italy and not to the company!!!
I will explain in detail the method of the scam perpetrated by the aforementioned company against one of our clients: perhaps it could help you to avoid falling into the same scam.
2. The method of fraud carried out against one of our clients.
Our client was also deceived and defrauded by the company ‘Akq7896’.
He was initially lured through the instant messaging application called ‘WhatsApp’ and was subsequently contacted via telephone numbers, preferably foreign, by people who claimed to be ‘consultants’ and promised huge earnings by carrying out work online.
Our client, warned by his family, initially declined the consultant’s generous offer; however the latter did not give up and continued to contact our client through the instant messaging application ‘WhatsApp‘ by showing him graphs representing the earnings generated by other people.
Therefore, without the knowledge of the family, our client was convinced to start the work online and, subsequently, duped by the alleged ‘broker’, paid a large sum of money as he was deceived by the work platform which falsely promised a succulent profit.
In fact, delighted by the profits shown within the platform ‘Akq7896’ and sure that the platform continued to generate profits, our client decided to request a withdrawal of profits and it is precisely at this point that the problems arose: our client began to have serious doubts about the quality of this company and its work platform.
After 15 days from the first withdrawal request our client, still waiting, realized that he was in the middle of a online scam!
Well yes, the screens and graphs shown within the aforementioned platform did not correspond to reality and had the sole purpose of inducing our client to pay further money, enticed by the fake profits shown by the platform.
3. Why did our customer become suspicious?
As already described above, our client became suspicious following the wait for a withdrawal that never arrived, indeed, at a later time, some requests were made by the brokers of this company ‘taxes’ to be paid as the capital had been blocked and the latter were required in order to ‘unlock deposited funds’.
It is important to underline that at the beginning of the relationship between our client and the company representatives ‘Akq7896’, the latter had guaranteed the possibility of being able to withdraw the capital at any time without any ‘taxation’ and the ‘commission’ to correspond to the platform.
Clearly, the fact that this was a further scam was clearly deduced from the fact that said sum of money could not be deducted from the capital earned as a further payment had to be necessarily made by our client.
However, despite the initial distrust, our client agreed to pay the aforementioned sum for the payment of taxes, feeling threatened by the possibility – represented by the company – of BLOCK all invested capital.
As you can imagine this payment turned out to be a “hole in the water” as the payment of some commissions was subsequently requested for the activity provided by the company’s brokers “Akq7896”.
At this point our client, aware of having been the victim of an online scam, decided to contact our law firm and rely on a crypto lawyer expert in the cryptocurrency sector for take legal action aimed at recovering the unduly paid capital.
4. What is our opinion on the ‘Akq7896’?
Considering the numerous reports we are receiving about this company, before making any type of financial investment we urge you to proceed with extreme caution (we advise you to avoid without any doubt!!!)
It’s the usual pattern crypto scam, the interpreters are always the same!
Be wary of those who offer you investments “safe and guaranteed”: risk, in the world of financial investments, is intrinsic and therefore, those who argue the opposite, all they do is lie!
Don’t rush and don’t be enticed by the graphs they will show you but request all the authorizations obtained from brokers and companies that offer investments of a financial nature and above all CHECK IF THESE AUTHORIZATIONS ARE TRUE AND ACTUALLY OBTAINED ON GOVERNMENT SITES OR CONTACT A LAWYER SPECIALIZED IN THE MATTER WHO CAN DO THE CHECK FOR YOU.
We are aware of the difficulties in understanding this new world of online work, especially when it concerns the field of cryptocurrencies: the representatives of fraudulent companies take advantage of people’s lack of knowledge and deceive them with all possible stratagems in order to induce them to always pay further money entering an endless vortex.
In these cases, before proceeding with the investment, it would always be advisable to consult a lawyer with proven experience in the sector in order to avoid (or in any case drastically reduce) the risks associated with the world of online investments.
