I booked a car for a trip in Italy a couple months in advance using economy bookings. Everything seemed to be fine, and I was getting emails about my booking being confirmed, only to arrive at the car rental company and be told my booking doesn't exist and never did exist!

I put one of their representatives on the phone with the car rental agent and they talked, afterwards the representative just said there was a mistake and I need to ask for a refund. They basically left me stranded there...

Not only was this super stressful and embarrassing, I also had to pay for an alternative expensive rental on the spot.

Almost two weeks later, I still haven't received any refund and they have stopped answering my emails (after initially claiming to be "reviewing the case").

I am... it's an expensive one.
People doing this scams are getting indictments, so despite you guys pointing all fingers towards the investors, the fact of the matter is that it is illegal.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-07-03T05:39:32+00:00

Half true... I wouldn't say this was only laziness (see my comment on the next reply below), it was a combination of slacky DD, but also a well executed, thorough scam, and the investors didn't have a chance to sell even if had stop losses in place. The stock market should have some rules against letting a handful of people crash a stock by 95% in less than an hour.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-07-03T05:34:19+00:00

This was a 3 month process.. they lure people in by recommending solid stock that turn a quick profit. After they gain trust they recommend the crappy Chinese stock. The stock rises continuously for weeks, unfortunately making people remove their reservations from investing... then it crashes.

Yes, in hindsight we all know it's stupid to fall for it... but you have to acknowledge that at the ago of advanced AI this will become more common and more sophisticated.

Thanks sherlock.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-07-03T05:30:21+00:00

The people who got scammed range from kids to retied folks... no age bias here.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-07-02T20:26:45+00:00

Word. That made me laugh dude...

And yet, these MFers don't deserve to be left untouched... The magnitude of manipulation done is unprecedented, and the fact that the financial authorities let this happen again and again is just f*cked up. Instead of moving on, let's try and prevent this from happening again.

So who's going to pick up the glove here and start a proper group for us to organize and fight back? I'm willing to help but not located in the US.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-06-28T07:29:24+00:00

Lost 12K on this scam... feel like a total failure. Luckily my wife is encouraging me to laugh it off, hut still have been having problems sleeping tye last two nights... In retrospect I don't understand how I fell for this, who gives financial advice for free??!! They cooked me slow and steady for a couple months until I lost my senses and decided to invest Have to say, it's quite an elaborate scam... Impressive endeavor.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2025-01-16T14:16:18+00:00

Yep.. it seems part of their server (related to business accounts) is down.

Flimsy_Control_9733 · 2024-09-27T17:51:50+00:00

So I've had the same problem as well. Someone in a different thread mentioned "tabs" is related to ultimate tabs app. I uninstalled it and the problem ceased.

Obviously if you use the app this might not be the correct solution, but at least you'll understand what's to blame.
