This broker review covers the website www.trendsmacro.com. This site has been brought to our attention by numerous people with concerns about the way this company is behaving and how they are treating their customers. Our investigation into this site has proven that there are very legitimate concerns about the intentions of the company owners and the safety of its users funds. Below are some of the findings which lead us to the conclusion that they cannot be trusted with your money and why they are being added to our Scam Blacklist.
Lack of Regulation / Transparency
The main issue with trendsmacro.com is their lack of regulation. If they are offering trading in Forex, Commodities and Stocks, they require licensing by a trading regulator. Most brokers opt for regulation with bodies such as CYSEC or the FCA. Trendsmacro have decided in their infinite wisdom to have ZERO association with ANY regulatory body. This is definitely the biggest concern when it comes to this company. Without regulation, there is no consumer protection and the company can do anything with your money and you can’t take action against them.
The company itself, (Ascana Group Ltd) is an offshore sheel corporation in the Marshall Islands. There is no way of identifying any members of the board, or people in control. This makes legal action against them almost impossible. A legitimate trading company would have publicly available records and the identities of the owner would be a matter of public record. This information being hidden is clearly a way to keep anonymity and protect these scammers from the police.
Domain Issues
The next concern and another red flag which is a trope of most scam companies, is their lack of correct contact information on their domain registration. Trendsmacro have hidden theirs in another attempt to hide from their victims. The domain was also first registered in 2020 which means they haven’t got a verifiable history. They have even gone to the lengths of paying for their domain information to be protected from the public. Just ask yourself, what would motivate a legitimate company to hide their identities so aggressively? Thats correct – a legitimate company wouldn’t…
Fake Trustpilot Reviews
Another great indicator that this company can’t be trusted, is their Trustpilot page. The reviews on the page (of which there are only 9), all seem to be from the kind of fake users who only ever have 1 or 2 reviews. The users who reviewed Trendsmacro.com all seem to have reviewed a single generic company (Pizza hut, Mcdonalds etc) and then one review for trendsmacro. From the wording of the reviews, its obvious that they aren’t genuine and are the generic bot reviews that people pay for to boost their credibility.
Scam Software Links
The biggest red flag, is the fact that this broker is associated with a number of generic scam websites (usually crypto bots or fx robots). It is clear that they are in cahoots with these scam software products as they allow the scam software the ability to register and login to their trading engine without an issue. Type of access is done using an API. Now API access to a broker can only be given by the people who run the broker, implicating trendsmacro.com in each and every scam that it’s associated with. I registered with one of these scam trading bots today and I have been bombarded with calls from Trendsmacro representatives all day. They are very aggressive and push you to answer private information about your current income, savings and credit cards etc. They are clearly predatory and are only interested in squeezing every last penny from you.
SUMMARY
There isn’t much left to say about this site, other than that you should avoid it at all costs. The links to scam software, its lack of regulation and anonymous owners are all major red flags and the hallmark of a complete scam.
So the basic premise behind quantumfund.ai is that it offers stable cryptocurrency investments with alleged returns of around 15% monthly. They claim to have a hedge fund that invests in financial markets and a number of experts in both algorythmic and manual trading of digital assets. All sounds great huh? Well continue reading our Quantum Hedge Fund Review to see why this may not be all it is cracked up to be…
Quantum Hedge Fund Review
The Team
So one of the main issues with Quantum Hedge Fund is the people who are behind it. There are some names on their list which should get some alarm bells ringing:
Jan Janssen – The lack of information about this guy is worrying, for someone who is the CEO of an alleged huge corporation, he should really have more of a digital footprint.
Reuben Godfrey – This guy has been involved with multiple ICO projects which have turned out to be a bad call for investors, Here are just a couple of them: Stop The Fakes & Kepler Technologies. There really seems to be an awful lot of reports about this guy being involved with projects that dont have the best intentions, and some which are full-on scams allegedly.
Mohamed Shoieb & Thomas Enechi – These two were advisors on a project called the Endo Protocol which raised a cool 5 million dollars and then vanished in a puff of smoke!
With a team like this, do you really think your investment is safe?
The Fund
A traditional hedge fund has real, traceable activity, and most importantly regulation. Two things which this fund don’t appear to have. They sell the dream of profits with their “calculator” which seems too good to be true.
Hedge fund “Calculator”
They do have a monthly “profit report” but none of the information can be independently verified which raises many other questions. They show their “ideas” on tradingview, but all this proves is that they have at least 1 person who can do some analysis. This doesnt prove any trading activity whatsoever.
Then we get on to the regulation issue. Any company targeting UK based customers and offering financial investments or fund management needs to be registered with the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and as you can see, Quantum Hedge Fund are not registered or affiliated with the FCA in any way, shape or form. This to me is a MASSIVE RED FLAG
The Ponzi Angle
As we delve deeper into this Quantum Hedge Fund Review, another thing that seems to be overlooked, is the “Ponzi” angle. There is a lot of money being thrown at affiliates/referrals and they have a tiered system to reward their most productive referrers.
They reward these people with up to 22% of their “profits” which begs the question, is this actually trading profit, or a simple share of the amount being invested? If so, then 22% of your investment is being shared out amongst the “partner” program, which has all the trademarks of a Ponzi scheme.
Their “Agency” program is even more concerning, it has an MLM style setup with levels you can achieve depending on your “team”.
MLM Structure
This shows a ridiculous “Example” of how the money is funneled up to the higher ups within their program and makes the mind boggle as to exactly how much of your investment ends up in the pockets of others…
This structure is classic ponzi strategy
Conclusion
Time to wrap up our Quantum Hedge Fund Review. So lets see what we have here? A heady mix of Crypto Industry “bad guys”, unverified “proof”, a lack of regulation and a Ponzi style setup. All in all, this makes me want to shout “BIIIITTTTCOOONNNEEEEEEEEEECCCCTTTT” at the top of my voice. Be very careful guys, this one seems too good to be true.
Welcome to our Maximus CryptoBot Review. We have definitive proof that this product iis a scam designed to lose your money.
Maximus Cryptobot sells itself as an automated trading system that will make you $3000 per day. These kind of numbers are far too unrealistic to be true in any way at all. Also a supposed 93% accuracy on trades is also far too high to be real. Especially when these trades are automated by their “algorythm” which cannot be real at all due to the fact that no machine can respond like a human when it comes to trading on events. Their claims are all way too good to be true, and guess what, that usually means its total lies.
Maximums Cryptobot also claim that their software is free, however you have to deposit at least $250 to an unregulated and untrustworthy broker so clearly another lie.
Maximus Crypto Bot scam
The truth about Maximus Crypto Bot is that it is just another scam designed to empty your bank account and the only people making money are the creators, the affiliates with their faked winning videos on Youtube and the brokers. Dont deposit at Maximus Cryptobot or you WILL lose your money guaranteed. This product also has links to Maximus Edge which was also confirmed to be a scam. This just adds more fuel to the fire showing that Maximus Cryptobot is a scam.
Unlicensed & Fake Company
The disclaimer at the bottom of the Maximus Cryptobot page claims that “Maximus CryptoBot is a trading name of Maximus CryptoBot LTD”. Well no such company exists and there is no way of knowing who the true perpetrators of this scam really are. If you cannot see the identity of these people its a sure sign of a scam.
Actors in their Video
The video for Maximus Cryptobot shows a guy called Kim, who is allegedly one of the partners in the business, as you can see from the screenshot below, this guy is actually a paid actor His Fivver profile can be found here: https://www.fiverr.com/voiceoverbyluis/your-bilingual-video-spokesperson?ref_ctx_id=667921c0-bb24-4d77-8dcd-6f0cda04c2c6. Just more proof that this is a complete scam.
How it really works
The real money to be made here is by the brokers and the people that deisgned the scam (as well as the shady affiliates that promote it). They get hefy commissions of up to $400 for every deposit that the broker receives. The broker then makes their money by harassing you into depositing more and more money. Their main trick is to let you lose on the software (in this case, Maximus Cryptobot) and then the broker tries to “help” you lose even more money by offering a managed trades service which will need funding to help you win back your losses. These tactics have caused many people to lose THOUSANDS of dolllars by trading with Maximus Cryptobot. The broker is also unregulated in 99% of these cases, so there is no way of getting a refund through traditional methods.
Conclusion
Maximus Crypto Bot is a complete scam that will empty your broker account within a couple of days and then they’ll try to get even more!

Another product that has been highlighted to me this week on my Skype group is the Dubai Liftstyle App.
This one is pretty straightforward however, the scam tricks are aplenty in this one and it has been very easy to prove this to be a total scam.
Dubai Lifestyle App Website
The website has some of the most blatant use of scam tricks that I have seen in a long time. The first issue is the geo-targeting with the use of my location in the top left hand corner. This is used to provide familiarity to the user and also put pressure on them to sign up before its too late. This is coupled with a countdown timer of 10 minutes that counts down to nothing as you can see in my video.
More worrying is the use of a stock photo to represent the alleged creator Scott Hathaway. Why is the creator of this software hiding behind a fake image? Because it’s a scam.
Dubai Lifestyle App Video
The video doesn’t have any actors in sports cars or private jets, but it does use the tried and tested scam technique of Fiverr actors pretending to be real customers. This is fraud and I proved it very easily in my review video.
Dubai Lifestyle App Software
The software interface for the Dubai Lifestyle App is pure scam stuff too. The interface cant be viewed or tested until the deposit has been made at the broker. This is because its garbage and they don’t want you to know until the broker has already got your credit card details and your money.
Dubai Lifestyle App Conclusion
This is going straight in the blacklist. Fake testimonials, a fake creator and a buch of the most obvious lies make this one totally unbelieveable and a total scam.

The Orion Code has been released recently and a few of my Skype group members have asked me to take a look at it in a bit more detail as some people were worried that it might be a scam. You will be shocked to discover what I found out about the Orion Code during my investigation.
Orion Code Website
This site has just about every trademark of a scam all in one place..From the big fake countdown timer that resets every time you reload the page, to more false scarcity with “limited numbers available” etc all over the shop. To top it all off, there are loads of very bold claims that turn out to be lies. They guarantee that you will make 100K in 30 days or Orion will pay you 5K for failing. This is next to a claim that the software doesn’t lose. If the software doesn’t lose, then why the hell do they need to offer this fallback option? Because it’s a big scam that’s why! Also on the members page, there are a number of “verified” testimonials. All of the images used on these so called testimonials are in fact stock photos so another load of lies and deception to destroy any chances that Orion Code is legit.
Orion Code Video
Another cheesy video with a fake actor climbing in a private jet. It looks identical to one used on an old scam called BinaryApp 810. The guy in the video claims to be Edward Robinson, who is allegedly some nice guy millionaire philanthropist. He even cites that there is loads written about him at Forbes. Strange then, that when googling him we get nothing to verify that he is who he claims to be. Forbes makes no mention of Edward Robinson at any point for any reason. Another sure sign that the Orion Code is nothing but lies.
Orion Code Software
Refreshingly, the software interface actually looked quite good. Sadly this doesn’t last long. The Broker on offer is a total unknown, and for me that’s a worrying sign. Also the page where you are supposed to deposit at the broker isn’t a secure page on the brokers domain, but rather a form on the software. Now you cant be sure that these guys aren’t stealing your data or taking money directly from your credit card. This has tipped me over the edge and now the Orion Code is going in the Blacklist.
Orion Code Conclusion
Far too many concerns over safety of your credit card data, and also just bold faced lies plastered all over this one is more than enough to confirm that The Orion Code is definitely a scam.

I never reviewed the original Gemini software, so was intrigued to see what this product had in store for me. I have had plenty of people telling me that they got email spam with links to Gemini 2 in, so I had to take a look to see what all the buzz was about.
Gemini 2 Website
The website has the usual geo targeting bull that we see on a daily basis, and the site claims that you can be one of the beta testers and make over $12K per day. This is totally unrealistic and already its looking pretty bad for Gemini 2.
Gemini 2 Video
We are greeted by an actor in a suit driving a rented lambo, with “Gemini” on a fake regisitration plate. The actor claims to be Brandon Lewis the CEO of Gemini Investments. I did a quick search and the company doesn’t exist. I wasn’t surprised, as the “office” he goes to just has Gemini logos on bits of card stuck to the walls. Not a proper setup of a multi-million dollar fund as he claims the company to be. Also he goes on about the fact that the public release of Gemini 2 wont be released until 2018. If that’s the case, why would you risk your own money testing his software for him. If he is so rich and successful, he doesn’t need you to test. A big software company would have a team of professional testers. Another reason I don’t believe a word of this scam
Gemini 2 Software
Once again we are greeted with the Shitbot. That’s right folks, yet another clone of the worlds worst trading software has hit the market. Conclusive proof that Gemini 2 is a scam.
Gemini 2 Conclusion
It’s the tired formula of cheesy video, lies and a terrible software product. Don’t get involved with Gemini 2 or you will lose money guaranteed…
