OPINION: ‘Looking for online trading scam victims’

A number of South Africans have been defrauded in this way and have lost a lot of money.

DEAR Editor,-

We are looking for people who might have been scammed by an online trading fraud called MGM-Markets.com.

These cyber-criminals have created an online trading platform in order to trick people into thinking that they are legitimately trading online.

At first, customers are delighted as they seem to be making money through trading, however, the site is completely bogus and when the customer tries to withdraw any of their money, they find that their money has disappeared.

A number of South Africans have been defrauded in this way and have lost a lot of money.

If anyone has been taken in by these criminals, they are urged to open a case of fraud at their local police station.

Once they have done that, they are requested to join the Facebook group for scam victims and add their case number to the list at.

The cybercrime unit of the South African Police, together with Interpol, is investigating these fraudsters, and the more people who come forward and the more information the unit can get, the faster they can arrest these scammers.

The public are also warned that online trading scams are extremely prevalent and they must exercise extreme caution before investing any money in online trading, cryptocurrency or forex trading.
