We have received a tip from a client of Premium Capital Trade that the crypto investment scheme is still active despite several warnings. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has already issued an investor warning in January 2021, stating that the investment scam is doing business as Copy Trade Capital and Premium Trade Capital. The scam scheme is allegedly operated by Premium Capital Trade (UK) INC and other fake entities with different addresses in the United Kingdom.
The pump-and-dump schemes around the Reddit forum WallStreetBets made social trading attractive. It was perfectly foreseeable that scammers were pouncing on this social media powered trading approach. Reports that the already more than 7.8 million members have beaten the Wall Street pros and created billions in market valuation virtually out of thin air is tantalizing. Today, the FCA warned against the Copy Trade Capital and Premium Trade Capital broker scams, which attack consumers mainly in the UK.
