I believe this website "www.secureinvestment.com" is a PONZI SCHEME. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from existing capital or new capital paid by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the organization running the operation. Operators of Ponzi schemes usually entice new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. The perpetuation of the high returns requires an ever-increasing flow of money from new investors to sustain the scheme.
This website claims there is an average return of 23% monthly, that is impossible! On top of that, they have a "trading loss refund guarantee" where supposedly you won't lose the money you invest and maybe they do have some kind of fake reserve fund but I would like to see how long that lasts because if they do not get new "investors", then old investors (the people who have already invested money into their company) WILL most likely have their "account frozen" and wont receive their money back. All of a sudden investors wont be able to reach the websites customer service department or get anything resolved which in turn, you will lose everything you put in there. Their scam will continue to grow just like Madoff's scam did and will continue to steal peoples money.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I fell prey to these con artists. Before I realized I was making a bad choice, I had already invested almost $70,000. They wouldn't let me get my money from them. In the recent months, I found an article on this website that assisted me in the process of getting my money back from them.
The article talked about Paige McCubbin and how she helps people, whether they are individuals or huge groups of organizations, who have lost money to fraudsters, Ponzi schemes, or bogus investments to regain their money from the scammer.
She responded to my Telegram message; her user name is Paigecubbin. In just four days, she assisted me in getting my money returned into my bank account.
I advise you to contact her if you're a victim of a scam.
I owe you my gratitude, Mary. When I reached out to Paigecubbin on Telegram, we had some conversation, and it took her four days to recall every dime I sent to those con artists.
I appreciate you writing this article about Paige McCubbin; she helped get my money back.
It is ponzy scheme.. and all like this.
Hello guys, please be advised that this scam has been featured in this month's edition of "Bloomberg Markets" in a long article. I hope this matter will get more attention from the general population and subsequently lead to arrests and refunds.
Hi guys i received email from david evans and the investigation is ready to be published to the world, i hope they get these guys and we manage to get some of our losses. If u hv any info pls share here and also mail david evans

sent documents 2 months ago. Havent heard anything since. Also spoke to my Bank AND the "Secure Investment Bank"
Affected. Mail to Bloomberg is sendt. Also to econsumer.
David Evans from Bloomberg is very much interested to do an investigation against secureinvestment.com. I have sent documents. Please send him the documents who are affected
Secureinvestment.com investors - contact David Evans of Bloomberg News - davidevans@bloomberg.net. He would like to hear more from others who are affected.
Please everyone, let us all share the updates once there is any, just to try and work all on the same line.
Tusha, on the Interpol link, on the right side under report a crime, use the report a suspected fraud. Tell them that you have already reported it to UK police and the SEC or whoever so that Interpol can link all agencies together.
Clearly bogus!
Here is my question: If it is such a great investment idea, why do they share it with us? Why wouldn't they just invest their own money and let it compound at 100% per year? $10, 000 this year is $20, 000 next year, $40, 000 the year after, etc. In ten years, the founders of this website would have $8, 600, 000 for each $10, 000 invested.
So, why would they give away their secret to any fool with $200?
Yes, this is clearly a scam. Not shame on them for being scammers, shame on you if you invest in it!
Hi jkdisa
I have already filed complaint against Michael Stiling with uk police, I believe they should contact interpol, do you think i should also file complaint with interpole? The link you provided, can you direct where i can find the link to file complaint?
Use this link to report secureinvestment scam to Interpol. I lost all my life savings and hope Interpol can track these ### down. http://www.interpol.int/Contact-INTERPOL
You guys should look to whoever 'referred' you. They have some of your money right now.
better photo
These are the people who have cheated us, please give these photos to the police and ask to arrest them
Hi I have put complaint in www.sec.gov and www.actiofraud.org.uk with few documents, they have confirmed about my complaint and started now investigation. The photo you will find in youtube- business presentation
Hi tusha,
Can u pls let us know which authority u reported them? Can u give any advice uf its best to use interpol or local authority? May i take the pgotos of them u have cz i dnt have any, me n 10 of my friends wana prepare astrong file to present to interpol. Thx
I think we should all get together to put these people behind the bar. I have there emails and photos, now given to the authority. I have also proof of the bank transfer. It might take long but I am not letting them go free.
Hi there! Me and several of my friends invested money at Secure Investment. The website has been down for a week, they do not respond to email and phone. What should we do?
I must accept that the money I invested with secureinvest.com is lost. However, I am not prepared to allow these swindlers to walk away. I would like to put together a list of all of those individuals suspected of involvement in this fraud and have an international arrest warrant issued for them.
Please take the time to go back through your emails and post all of the names that appear on them. I am willing to put up some money to facilitate the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in this scam.
Everything about this company screamed SCAM in giant letters. Let me recount my observations:
1) The name is ridiculous.
2) Every testimonial on youtube was formulaic and unauthentic..
2.5) All dates for web pages were very recent.
3) Every website touting its virtues were 1 page blog websites with no other content. Alternatively there were formulaic comments on random blogs.
4) Great investments do NOT need referrals, but Ponzi schemes do. They paid handsomely for referrals.
5) For an allegedly multinational company I couldn't find non-english translations of their website, testimonials, and blog posts.
6) The company was outside of a jurisdiction where US investors could have any real recourse. There was no known feduciary responsibility. In the US you may have a ### broker, but the funds (even managed ones) are held a by a separate company and segregated.
7) Their trades, while having the illusion of transparency were only shown at the end of the day. They could easily write up their trades after the fact. Hilariously, I couldn't find a single instance where their trades were actually real. They were allegedly trading eur/usd, but their trades were not in line with spot and futures prices at other brokers. The person who referred me to them argued that they were swap transactions, but I swaps on the CME were also not in line with their reports. I also doubt that swap transactions would trade so far under spot.
8) Their returns were ridiculous. If they had been operating for 6+ years they would already be billion/trillionaires with no desire for new capital. They also would need to be very secretive about their trades so that others wouldn't see what they were doing and do the same thing..resulting in a lack of profitability/edge.
I didn't lose any money with these crooks, but I have been curious to see how long it would take to play out. Apparently not very long.
Please complain to www.sec.gov who are affected by scams
Somehow I doubt the folks making testimonials for $5 at fiverr.com have extensive records.
Let us start by asking about the people who advertise them in videos through the Internet. Then we could offer anybody who can give us any information, real names, photos about the key persons who did that . I am sure some of these people did work with them as customer support and they give them little money, we can offer 10% or 20% each of the amount we can get back from them. we can start that through face book or twitter..etc
Their website went down because they are implementing a 'new platform'? And their emails bounce for the same reason? And they deleted their twitter and facebook accounts the same day the site went down because of the 'new platform'? Are you people really that gullible, or are you just trying to lure more suckers into the pyramid?
If it is as you say, why could I not make any withdrawal from February, and their email support is no longer available from May 1 ?
Could you tell us when was the last time you received a payment?
I don't believe its a scam. I have had investment with them since January and haven't really had a problem. I had a situation where my money was taking out my operating account because they said the bank it was in had their account frozen for several months. They told to me to go to my bank and get a refund of my money and resend it. But I received an email a few weeks later saying they took money out of corporate funds to put in my account which they did. They always send emails and keep me updated with what's going on. Just like know when the website is down. They sent me an email saying It will be down because they are implementing a new platform and they apologize for an inconvenience it may cause. They haven't let me down yet.
I have just filed a case through www.econsumer.gov
Hi Tusha, plz let us know the outcome of your case. Does anyone know what can we do to get our money back or even send those scammers behind the bars?
If anyone knows if we can do something for our money back please post it here
If authority wants they can find all these scoundrels and put them behind the bar. Every one who has been affected should make file fraud care
We don't know if he is in UK, Hong Kong, Panama or some Russian country. How can someone locate this person?
I filed a fraud case against them in UK, lets see if we can send Michael Stirling Jail
They may have bank information and or personal information. Is there a risk of ID theft? This is serious.
same situation the webside is down some much worry
Website is down. Does it mean I lost all my money?
