SCAM ALERT - Gatwick Advisory Group (AKA Gatwick AG Ltd)

[NorthernLedger]

Scam Alert!! Don't send GATWICK ADVISORY GROUP any funds, no matter what they agree to in writing. They will just keep your money.

Summary:

• Gatwick AG promised us we were pre-approved for a bank account with a banking partner of theirs for cryptocurrency transactions.
• We then paid them an advisory fee with the guarantee (in writing, both e-mail and formal contract) that they would return the fee in full if the account wasn't opened.
• After a few months and completing hundreds of questions via application documents, the banking partner advised it couldn't open the account for cryptocurrency transactions.
• We immediately requested a refund of the fee.
• Gatwick has refused to return our money, saying that they will find us an alternative (but their alternative suggestion came with $50k+ in additional banking fees). Their legal team has tried to strong arm us into accepting an alternative indicating that we could try to sue them in Hong Kong but it would be unsuccessful.

AVOID THEM - it's a scam operation with a professional looking veneer. Classic bait-and-switch tactics. Let me know if you need more info, I just don't want anyone else falling for their false promises.

All very sad.

Their London address is a Cordon Bell mail forwarding address above a‌ dry cleaners next door to a Dixy Fried Chicken shop 😕. I wonder how much‍ due diligence you did dude with just google....just saying my friend.

The only thing Gatwick Advisors is good at is getting around spam filters.

A sad‌ thing about them is they seem to have some genuine people working as rubes for‍ them. I know at least one person who was a bit down on their luck⁠ and got sucked into Gatwick Advisors with promises of high commissions. That person fortunately got⁤ out pretty quickly.

Still going strong, still getting emails from them.

Their prices have a huge mark-up, especially since they largely rely on poor and desperate‌ people to work for them. Cheap labor. It's just gross. But that means it doesn't‍ take much for them to stay afloat. There's a constant stream of unemployed people to⁠ be lured into what looks like a legitimate job and career, if you don't know⁤ better.

Briliant, didn't see it before‌ cig-:,

where did you get that information from? I'm curios?⁢

From knowing people that have worked at/for this vile firm. For example, one guy was down‌ on his luck due to some poor business dealings and pretty much vanished. Then he‍ came back after a few months and tried to sell CIM Bank account intro for⁠ 5 to 10,000 markup. Desperate and promised the bank could everything, just to get a⁤ deal done.
