Description of the case in brief

According to the trader, a lady named ‘Kelly’ approached the trader via SNS. Kelly introduced Tradingweb to the trader. And she told the victim that her uncle is working in trading for more than 30 years and explained to the victim how much profit did she get from his advice by investing in Tradingweb. At first, she encouraged the trader to try simulation mode. Later, The trader tried real-money trading in this broker and invested a lot of assets. But except for the first request, he could not withdraw any asset. Even worse, the customer service of Tradingweb asked him for the extra fee for unreasonable reasons. But even after the victim made the payment, they once again made another excuse to block the victim from withdrawal.

Girl so-called “Kelly”

We believe this woman is a shill of Tradingweb. She used the goodwill of others to trick investors into believing in her, thereby leading them into a trap. The victim told WikiFX that “Kelly” is in Hong Kong, but the brokers contact number belongs to the UK. This is a sign of a scam.
