Previous Detection : 2025-05-14
  • This broker has been verified to be illegal and all of its licences have expired, and it has been listed in WikiFX's Scam Brokers list. Please be aware of the risk!
  • The platform is a Ponzi Scheme, which refers to the use of "principle of value multiplication". In the form of rolling or static fund circulation, it uses the money of next member to pay to the present one, which is essentially a pyramid scheme with the distinction of hidden, deceptive and socially harmful. By calling common person's desire for money, fraudsters in the platform begin raising funds underground. Since this kind of platform mostly will abscond after 1 or 2 years, the fund-raising mode just can exist less than 3 years.

Unable to Withdraw

Ask me to pay $1,500 to open an account of digital banking

I deposited in April, 2019 and I can’t withdraw. It’s said that something happened to the boss! I met another leader in September, 2020 and asked me to open an account of digital banking to withdraw! I deposited 50,000! He told me that if I paid $1,500 for an account of digital banking I can withdraw all the money and my account balance was over 600,000 now. It feels fake!

Revelation of GIB’s close connection with GCG

The pyramid scheme by GCG, the former name of GIB, is revealed as follows: 1.GCG, which started its operation at the end of December 2018, began to block investor withdrawals on a large scale from April 2019. 2. Mr. Qiu, head of GCG, was arrested by the Cambodian police in May 2019. Later, a so-called GCG general manager Mr. Zheng launched 5-5 or 6-4 orders, inflicting heavy losses on a large number of members! 3. Before absconding, GCG promised members that the withdrawal problem will be fixed if they invest US$500 to register for the GIB Digital Bank. However, the investors were still unable to withdraw money. The registration fee later increased to US$1,000. 4. GCG rebranded itself to GIB (Global Investment Bank) after it scammed 50% of GCG members’ deposits and plotted to scam the rest in the next three years. 5. Moreover, 90% of the profits in GCG members’ accounts in the past year or so were swindled with the remaining 10% left to continue their scam. 6. Currently, GIB continues to publicize its fraudulent money-raising scheme in the hope of joining the Fortune Global 500 companies!

    Unreliable! Never trust your money on this trading site. I deposited GCG ASIA trading platform. I was trading for a while and then I decided to cash out my money because it wasn't exactly what I expected and what they were saying.
