Get instructions on how to withdraw funds
Attention! Fraud company!
Leave a request for a refund from a scammer.
“Everything should be made as simple as possible”, is the slogan that greets us on the main page of Ilar Investing. This company promises 24/7 technical support, lots of trading tools, tight spreads and no requotes. However, in the reviews, ex-clients write that Ilar Investing is a brazen scammer who does not withdraw money. Is it dangerous to work with a broker? Read on.
Brief information about Ilar Investing
The fake office claims to provide customers with highly functional software and claims that it undergoes an external audit, thereby improving the quality of services. There is no confirmation of this: the conclusions of the audit have not been published on the site.
Nowhere does it directly say when the hero of our review began his activity, but in the footer of the site it is written that he has been working since 2019. Some reviews published on the site say that traders have allegedly been cooperating with Ilar Investing for more than three years.
When checking this legend burst. The Whois service showed that the ilarinvesting.ru domain appeared a little over three months ago. The scammers did not have any other sites, which means that they not only lie about the start date of work, but also order positive reviews about themselves.
There are no links to social networks on the Ilar Investing website, but on the Internet we found the project's Facebook page. The date of the first entry is March 23, 2021. Almost one and a half thousand people have subscribed to the page, but there are no likes on the posts. This means that scammers not only fake reviews about themselves, but also wind up subscribers.
Breeders Ilar Investing claim that more than 20 thousand people cooperate with them.
These figures are just as fake as the reviews of the three-year work. A special service shows that about 2.5 thousand people visit the site every month. Not every one of them starts working with Ilar Investing, but even in an ideal scenario, the number of users will not exceed 7.5 thousand. It is not surprising that there are few reviews about the “kitchen”.
The “Contacts” section contains two phone numbers (Russian and British), as well as addresses where the offices of the pseudo-broker are allegedly located.
In the “Client Agreement”, the specified address is different.
Trying to ingratiate himself, Ilar Investing claims to be registered in the UK and even provides a certificate of incorporation issued to a company called Ilar Consulting LTD. Not a single legal document says that the hero of our review has a different name.
When checking in the Companies House register, it turned out that Ilar Consulting was indeed listed under the specified number. However, it does not have the right to provide brokerage services, since the column “Type of activity” indicates “Other professional, technical and scientific activities”. The address is also different from the one written in the “Contacts” section.
There is no company named Ilar Investing in the UK legal entity database.
If the sharaga claims to have an office in Moscow, it must be registered with the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. We checked this using an online service and found out that there is no smell in the Ilar Investing database.
Who regulates the activities of Ilar Investing?
Since the “kitchen” claims to be registered in the UK, the license for brokerage activities must be issued to it by the Financial Conduct Authority. This is a reliable regulator with a high trust index, about which only positive reviews are left. Not surprisingly, the FCA has not issued any permits to Ilar Investing, as it does not cooperate with scammers. Instead of a license, scammers are trying to sell the user the aforementioned certificate of incorporation.
In order to legally work in Russia, a broker needs to obtain a license from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. We checked if Ilar Investing has it. Predictably, but the pseudo-broker did not receive any permits from the Central Bank, which means that he cannot provide services to Russian citizens.
Before starting cooperation, a potential client can familiarize himself with the legal documents:
- "Client Agreement";
- “Privacy Policy”;
- “Risk Warning”;
- “AML and KYC policies.”
Documents are not translated from English, so Russian-speaking users will have problems understanding them. They include clauses according to which the client immediately finds himself in a bonded position:
- the right of Ilar Investing to cancel the trading operation and freeze the client's account;
- the ability for the pseudo-broker to withdraw money from the user's account and delete his account;
- waiver of liability for losses incurred by the trader due to technical problems in the operation of the scammers' equipment.
Overview of trade offers
Ilar Investing charlatans seduce traders with the opportunity to use over 200 instruments. The following types of accounts are available:
A leverage ratio of 1:200 is a scam designed for beginners. If you see such leverage, you should know that trading is carried out only on the broker's internal platform, transactions are not sent to the external market.
Scammers do not mention commissions and swaps. There is also no data on how you can replenish an account on Ilar Investing and withdraw money from it. There is not a single word about liquidity providers.
Reviews about the scam project
Breeders spare no time and money to order laudatory reviews and publish them on their website.
However, on the Web, we found comments from real ex-clients of Ilar Investing.
How does Ilar Investing deceive traders?
The false broker uses "kitchen" methods of divorce. He is looking for potential victims on thematic forums, and also actively uses “cold” calls. The user is promised "mountains of gold", a personal manager and round-the-clock technical support - anything, as long as he replenishes his account.
As soon as the client makes a deposit, his capital immediately goes into the pockets of the scammer. Ilar Investing swindlers will show him an imitation of trading by changing the numbers in his personal account. Seeing such a “success”, the user will replenish the account more and more. When he tries to withdraw money, the crooks will hide behind technical malfunctions for a long time, then they will demand payment of commissions for withdrawing from a segregated account in England, and in the end I will simply block the account.
Summing up
Ilar Investing is a scam without registration and license. It was created only to extort money. If you do not want to donate your funds to scammers, bypass them on the tenth road!
