StartCapital is a very FRAUDULENT and DESPICABLEORGANISATION which exists only for the sole purpose of entrapment, deceiving and defrauding people. They stole / duped me of over 11,000 USD. Criminals!

StartCapital is very DESPICABLE and FRAUDULENT ENTITY. They exist only to entrap people and steal their money. These rogues stole over 11000 USD from me in a dubious "Investment scheme" designed and operated by the criminals. They should be closed down quickly to save future victims.

Not convince enough

I tried setting up my account with NairaTrader.ai and it redirected me to StartCapital.io today, but I am not too convince. Immediately i got a call from London +44 033186740 trying to convince me more. I got to understand that its a scam with the frequent calls to know when I'm to make payment.

Calls keeps coming in with different numbers showing London. I had to do findings which then took me to this page. from the reviews too, I don't think its ideal to continue for me. Pls don't fall for this scam.

This is a cryptocurrency scam,that…

This is a cryptocurrency scam,that operates like this:
It starts with a twisted image of the local TV celebrity anchor,talking about a new cryptocurrency scheme that has been pioneered by a well known philanthropist billionaire,in our case in South Africa,they show a twisted image of Elon Musk,complete with voice overs,which are actually convincing.
What they will be saying is that, he came up with this iinovative idea that will scare the banking sector and the financial sector, as it is aimed at empowering the ordinary South African lower and middle class income earners by introducing them into cryptocurrency trade.
This is usually on YouTube,and there will be some enquiry email attached for those interested in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
The moment you send that email to enquire about that scheme/innovation, it will be the beginning of your nightmare.
You will get a call from a sweet talking scammer, who will quide you through all the process of registering with this company,that will take you through training in cryptocurrency.
But you will first need to provide them with the following information, which of course will be a normal registration process expected of any registration process:
1.Copy of your ID
2.Copy of your drivers license
3.Proof of residence
4.Proof of Banking details,etc

After that, the scammer will introduce you to a fake trading platform, which they can easily manipulate it. All the so called profits that will lure you to get hooked, are manipulated by them.
Initially, because you will still be sceptical, you will start by investing a meagre amounts like 20 USD, which right infront of your face, unbeknowing to you, will be manipulated and inflated to 250 USD.
As you are still sceptical, you will invest again, say 25 USD, and the next thing it goes to 300 USD.
Naturally, it's human nature that you will start giving them a benefit of a doubt, which is gonna be the biggest mistake of your life.
The scammer will then tell you that, to make it big in cryptocurrency trading, you need to invest real money, at least a minimum if 5000 USD, which will give you a profit of 92K USD.
And,indeed if you do that, it will be manipulated to that promised profit o 92K USD right in front of your eyes,with you watching that fake trading platform.
Then, the scammer will now tell you that, you got two options, one to withdraw 62K USD as your profit, or to add on the 92K USD to make an amount of 125K USD is the ultimate trading platform, which will immediately generate a whooping profit of 681K USD, which you can withdraw 400K USD and leave the rest in the trading platform, and you leave everything to him, and he will continue diong the trading for you.
If you can agree to that nonsense, you shall committed the biggest mistake of your life.
If you agree, this is what is gonna happen. You shall have topped up that 92K USD with 33K USD.
Indeed, the profit will immediately be manipulated to 681K USD as promised, and naturally you gonna get excited that the damn thing indeed is working.
Then,your eyes are gonna be opened when they say to you, for you to make a withdrawal, you gonna need to pay 20% of the 681K USD. That is when the penny will drop, and now you realize that you have been duped.
Then, as you start protesting with them, the scammer will then tell you, another way of getting out of that immpasse, because naturally you will refuse, is to continue trading with the remaining balance on that fake trading platform to raise the required amount needed to unlock the withdrawal request.
Naturally, you will agree because at that time you are already knee deep in.
He will then put the target trading balance of say 200K USD, and tell you that, you continue trading up untill that target trading balance.
Just when you are about to reach that target balance of 200K USD, all of a sudden it is wiped off the trading platform, because the open/trading profit and losshas gone to a negative balance, which they have manipulated it themselves to be in that fashion.
All what they will tell you is that, to rescue that account, you must now pay 15K USD, which will come complete with insurance to cushion you from such eventualities in future.
If you can do that, it will be the last time you heared from that scammer, and you will get a call from another scammer, who will tell you that, that initial scammer that conned you almost neck deep, has now been retrenched for malpractise, he is the one who will help you to rescue thw account from the mess it is in.
Don't fall for such nonsense,because the next thing they will be advising you to in some money to rescue that account.
There is a list of all this scammers, most of them I had to deal with them personally,starting with Fabian Douglas, Thomas Kent, Erik Tann, Jacob Zupin, and the list is endless.

This is one of the worst brokers out…

This is one of the worst brokers out there, when it comes to response to clients. They very good in keeping appointments when they want your money, once you make a deposit, you will send email, no response, try to call via Skype, no response, send Skype messages, no response, send messages to their support team, they will reply with "I will forward your request to your personal expert. He will contact you as soon as he will be available". You will keep expecting their calls to no avail. When you remind them in another two weeks or so, the support team will give you same response.
The so call personal expert has always been adamant to responding to either messages or calls.
My experience with them is so horrible that I wished I never met them. As a matter of fact as many of my friends that I narrates my ordeal to, will tell me straight to my face that I have been scammed. I have struggled to explain that they are not. However, after six months of frustration, I am beginning to think that my friends are right after all.
