I give three stars cuz I haven't received the payments fully but I have gotten more than half of it, after following through with the bank's policies I definitely got my payment. Seemed a bit fishy at first but walked through it and received my payments including the deposits I made earlier

It’s a fraudulent company, In order to get paid, I was asked to pay them again and again in the name of compliance with so-called AML, SWIFT, even IMF verification regulations. They have cheated me out of almost CNY13000. Now, they are asking for more.

I paid them four times by scanning four different Alipay QR codes they sent me by emails. Each time, they would say it’s the last time before I see my payments reflected in my local bank account. But after I’ve paid them four times, they ask for more payment to get authenticated by SWIFT. It’s totally fraudulent！

They are carrying out an organized crime with clear division of labor among the members of the organization, which is highly misleading.

Very suspicious.
I think it is a scam.

I have recently been contacted by a client who tried to use this financial company to 'pay me' for a freelance job we were supposedly executing. I have handed over my first milestone and expect a 50% payment for the work before completion. The so-called financial entity has contacted me and is asking ME to wire them almost 300 USD to comply with a so-called 'anti money-laundering check.' This is a scam, DO NOT waste your time with this people and don't EVER send anyone money for a so-called job.

Indeed a scam. The website exists, but there is no real bank behind. They ask for a deposit in order to make a transfer to you. Which bank does that? Banks have other ways to identify the receiver. Do pay the deposit!

This is a scam. They say that they have a transfer waiting for you (from a client), but you have to send them money (a supposedly refundable amount) first, before they can make the payment to your account. All saying it's because of anti-money laundering laws.
