Description
Uses the following URL to get people to join: https://max-maher.teachable.com/p/member-join After joining, asked to get a monthly subscription with FINOVA: https://finova.finance/ Once you are connected to the "Discord" you are friend requested by Max Maher. This is the location of communication, not text or email. In the "Discord" you are asked to sign up for monthly subscriptions to allow you access to group discussions on crypto trading. Not all people involved seem to be scammers, just Max Maher. However, cannot be for sure. After subscribing, Max Maher contacts you on the "FINOVA Discord" and starts pitching to have you join his brokerage firm at the following URL: https://fideicommistrading.com/ Scam: You can see on this website that there are multiple options to obtain various "plans" where people pay $3,000 - $50,000 or more! The promise is to get all the same trades from this expert brokerage firm where, no matter what, you will only lose 10% of your money to the brokerage fee/commission. The other 90% is all profit for you and you can learn how to trade crypto along the way until you are comfortable doing it yourself. Nothing on the website checked out to be legitimate. The duration of the life of the company was said to be in business since 2016 or earlier, but no signs of this. After informing Max Maher directly about confirming all this information it was always disregarded completely and he kept asking when I will sign up and everything I need is on the website. After multiple times of going back and forth to just share the information before agreeing sign up... It would never be provided and kept saying it is all on the broker's website and asking "when are you going to sign up?". And after you sign up, he'd (Max Maher) say, "tell me so I can walk you through the next steps."
