@Wonomiesch33 Which statement did you perceive as a greater rebuke:

  • I find it more respectful […]
  • Please don’t be angry, but that is a typical statement of a certain naivety.

When you talk about your feelings or accuse someone of being naive?

From a factual point of view, I didn’t criticize the post. The topic seemed to me to simply miss the original goal for a Swisscom forum. And a bit harsh for a newbie to the forum.

Of course, you can also warn about dubious companies here. There was simply no indication to me that @Lädi was gambling away his money at Invezz. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(Sorry @Samsi I don’t want to knock it again here. I think you’ve interpreted my feeling correctly. 😉👍🏻)

None of the arguments hurt me in any way. And you can’t gamble away money at Invezz either😀.

Actually, I just wanted a simple answer as to whether there is anything smarter than Equiity if they want to get in touch with their customers inexpensively via smartphone without faking a cell phone number. Obviously not possible.

I think we can end the discussion here, unless someone has the golden idea. Thanks everyone for participating!

And for me the question remains, why @Lädi is asking in the Swisscom community how a company that is obviously fraudulent can make inexpensive calls.

what doesn’t exist. But today is also April 1st…

Suppose he is still at the beginning of those three phases:

1. Single-payment phase (encouraged by alleged winnings, he invests money himself)

2. Anfix phase (an “advisor” encourages further deposits)

3. Payout phase (the “winnings” should now be realized… only then does @Lädi realize that he has been cheated).

Fact: The money deposited goes directly into the pockets of the fraudsters, nothing is invested.

Those course “gains” according to the website are merely computer simulations.

What are all signs of a scam?

Google test as already mentioned here in the forum. Take a closer look at the search results.

Take a closer look at reviews on platforms like Trustpilot.

Fact: Anyone who is dissatisfied is more likely to write in there than someone who is satisfied. A proportion of up to 75% of dissatisfied people is more likely to be seen as a good sign. Rather worrying if it is above that.

However, if the satisfied ones make up the majority, this is an indication of fake reviews.

Where is it hosted: Well Cloudfare is very popular with scammers to disguise where the website is really hosted.

According to NsLookup, that website is hosted by Cloudfare.

Hi @Lädi

Actually, I just wanted a simple answer as to whether there is anything smarter than Equiity if they want to get in touch with their customers inexpensively via smartphone without faking a cell phone number. Obviously not possible.

Of course it exists - but a professional, internationally operating company will find it without the help of its customers and their ISP community 😉

How many red flags does it take to recognize that a scam is a scam? 😮

Cyprus, Cloudflare, changing numbers, apparently no information available…

In addition: all positive Cloudflare reviews sound like they were bought and come from generic profiles with a single rating… Guess where something like that comes from. But not from purchased reviews?

And then there is this… including comments…

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is probably a duck.

If you still can: take your money and run!

Exactly, I can only shake my head at something like that. See post number 15. But the naivety of certain people is sometimes really frightening. Unfortunately I can’t put it any other way. I think you can see that here in the thread too… You can warn and do something and they won’t believe you. You can see yourself driving away in a Rolls Royce as a multimillionaire in a lakeside villa. It’s really your own fault if the money is gone. Please don’t complain. It stinks up to this point that something isn’t clean, but something really rotten.
