Who will work on your losses?

Courses for increasing financial literacy turned out for customers who attended the seminars of Gleb Zadoya, loss of money

The worse the economic situation in the country, the more all kinds of scammers appear who are ready to take away, if not the last, then with difficulty earned. The hit of the season is the courses of increasing financial literacy recommended by the stars of YouTube.

“After retirement, there was a desire and time to learn something else, but to earn money, of course. Grandchildren - for gifts, children - for housing ... And then it coincided: they called almost every day, they offered free training in competent investment. Well, I pecked. " The story of Alexei ( the name changed, but the editorial office is known. - D.K. ) is not too different from thousands of stories of other people who suffered from the activities of dubious investment companies. The scheme is simple to Don: under the guise of training courses, interviews for the position of financial consultants or advanced training courses, you are invited to a free seminar. Most often it is held in the center of Moscow, in a respectable office with security and abundance of employees in white collars. After the end of the seminar, the lecturer asks a rhetorical question: "Do you want the same?"

During the students, students opened a demo, where they could trade in the securities market. Alexei admits: “It was hard to delve into all this, but it’s not at all scary-no one laid his money on this score, it was just such a toy. “Professional managers, sharks of this market”, which we were introduced to this, hinted at this. Among them was Gleb Zadoy, who actively stimulated us to “expand the capabilities”. What does this mean, I understood when he introduced me to Alexander Podanankin, the manager of the company Profit Group. He insisted that I open a real account to receive real income. ”

Despite the knowledge gained during the seminars in the field of financial markets, there were no customers who opened them in reality, since the right of management was transferred to a competent manager who concluded transactions.

In fact, according to the information of the employees of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, investigating the criminal case of employees who worked according to the STFOREX brokerage company,

Only large customers participated in real transactions in the market (in the account of which there should have been at least $ 100,000), and the money of the "neophytes" was simply withdrawn.

“Three months later, I noticed that my account began to sag significantly, the so -called“ negative transactions ”went. I decided to try to withdraw the remaining funds, because I was assured that I could do it at any time. But the system gave a refusal, allegedly money is currently involved in operations. It was difficult to knock out $ 5,000 with difficulty, ”Alexey laments.

It would seem that everything is obvious: here is the company that has appropriated someone else's good, here are the victims, ready to testify, there is even a criminal case under Articles 159 (“Fraud”) and even 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Participation in the activities of the criminal community”) against Stforx employees. The investigation does not disclose only the role of one bright figure.

Gleb Zadoy, a famous person in trading circles, leads his analytical channel on YouTube, often acts as an expert in financial markets. But there are many communities on the Internet, whose participants if they are not openly accuse him of fraud, then they wonder why he is with scammers on one side of the barricades. It is also noted that he is the founder of the company "Analytics online", whose managers, along with the Sudden itself, conducted trainings in the office of the same Profit Group, which Alexey spoke of. Yes, and Stforx flashed among the “reliable brokers” in the descriptions of the financier’s videos.

Gleb Zadoy himself informed Novaya Gazeta that he did not consider public reasoning on the reliability of brokerage companies by advertising, complained that his name is often used without his knowledge, and the Stforex case, in his opinion, was fabricated.

At the same time, links to sites of brothels in his recommendations are referral, that is, containing a unique user identifier. With their help, you can establish who brought the next client.

It turns out that customers whose deposits are not displayed on the market are initially in a weak position, because they have a conflict of interest with a broker.

This conflict is manifested in the fact that the profit of the broker is a loss of client. But here who has no conflict of interests (neither with a broker, nor with clients) - this is Gleb Zadoya. The partner receives a real commission for the virtual trading of the client, and the latter, if he loses his blood, will not be able to apply with claims, for example, to Gleb, because he only took advantage of his recommendation and did not give the money directly.

For the client, this is a vicious circle, having got into which money can no longer be returned. It turns out that one who, like a hill, brought the client, can earn money on the losses of customers and is only interested in carrying as much money as possible, increasing the income of the broker and the commission of his partner.
