On June 7, 2021, we issued an investor alert against the TrendsTurbo scam promoted by the Bitcoin Code fraud campaign. In Aug 2021, the UK FCA issued a warning against the TrendsTurbo (www.trendsturbo.com and www.trends-turbo.com) broker scam, following FinTelegram’s assessment issued two months ago. Google has done so before. Evidently, our conclusions are more often correct than not. We have an interesting story with TrendsTurbo in the first place.

In most cases, financial market regulators and law enforcement agencies follow our assessments. We communicate regularly with these authorities and are always available to answer questions. Today, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning against the TrendsTurbo (www.trendsturbo.com and www.trends-turbo.com) broker scam, following FinTelegram's assessment issued two months ago. Google has done the same before. We have an interesting story with TrendsTurbo.

Some scammers deploy agencies to protect themselves from FinTelegram warnings. These agencies sometimes file infringement claims to Google to have the warnings removed from Google search results. The operators of TrendsTurbo (www.trendsturbo.com) broker scam, for example, filed several infringement claims with fake senders and websites. Well, we filed a counterclaim and hereby have to repeat the warning against TrendsTurbo.

In recent weeks, we have focused our investigations and reports on the fraudulent marketing campaigns that scammers and regulated CySEC investment firms use to hunt for new victims. We have started our "Marketing Campaigns Blacklist" in this regard. A few days ago, the German BaFin announced to have started investigations against the operators of the Bitcoin Code Campaign. Well, it's at least a start. Regulators and law enforcement agencies need to take much stronger action against the operators of these fraud campaigns.

Some scammers use interesting methods to protect themselves from FinTelegram warnings. The operators of TrendsTurbo (www.trendsturbo.com) broker scam have claimed that our June 7, 2021 investor warning would infringe the copyrights of another website. Therefore, they have filed a complaint with Lumen (see here). They want the warning to show up in Google search results. The thing they achieve with this is that we issue another investor warning against TrendsTurbo.

Today we receive an email from a nice lady from Self Improvement eBooks (www.self-improvement-ebooks.net). She informs us that a Facebook group has been created to discuss new tools. She also tells us that the link in the email will take you to the long-awaited e-book. But, unfortunately, if you click on it, you actually end up (once again) on the fraudulent Bitcoin Code campaign (www.bitcoincodesoft.com). From there, after registering, one eventually ends up on the cashier page of the scam broker TrendsTurbo.
