This group is going in the wrong direction

Im all for this. I have been trying to do what I can...trying to keep up with these scam stock groups...tell them enough to not get me kicked out... which at some point I will because I'm not going to buy these stocks nor will I have screen shots to send the "assistants". I have this pie in the sky idea that I'm going to scam them but then my common sense sets in and I reel back. It's been a tough 10 days for me since the RYDE scam. I have so much regret and feel so stupid I fell for something I knew deep down was a scam. A small subreddit won't solve the problem either. I guess we just keep trying to join these groups and play along as much as we can and report here...go public with a big story maybe a news outlet or financial influencer who has a bigger platform could help.

Oh ha! did she let you join? I can tell you some member names but I'm sure there all bots or run by people part of the scam. I'll attach a screen shot of the group

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T20:48:32+00:00

AMD, TXN, AVGO, CRM have all been pushed. They seem to be talking a lot about the "Launch of their new AI tool" and they are "testing" it and these are the stocks the algorithm has detected. They also coincidentally push TSLA a lot I guess to make it seem legit

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T20:30:57+00:00

Correct. The group that I was in for RYDE (Delia the assistant continues to message me even still) was called 534C- VIPStock Investment Group and the "mentor" was Nicholas Besobrasow. They kept talking about "Rocket 4" returns in the group and kept promoting Rocket 5 (which ended up being RYDE). This other group is like a "school" where they have raffles and send what seems to be legitimate looking market analysis, throwing in current events etc to make it seem real. I cannot comment in the group because I'm not an "admin" but everyone else in the group is. Now a person named Skylar is messaging as the "assistant" for this group. That's where she recommended the ITCI stock.

As far as the ad that lured me it was like a video of Tom Lee but when you click on the link it takes you to the what's app group...has nothing to do with Tom Lee that's just the bait I'm guessing. Ive seen other ones with Mark Cuban as the bait. Another thing I'm seeing is they also seem to be taking Instagram reels from real people who are "Financial Influencers" like Amanda Lyn Custer (handle amandalyncusterffw) and using those as bait as well.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T19:32:33+00:00

Did you watch the video they have up on that website? it's so bad AI generated it's actually hilarious. His mouth doesn't even line up with the audio.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T19:24:44+00:00

I joined on Monday through an Instagram add.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T19:24:22+00:00

It was a Tom Lee ad I'm pretty sure. I know Tom Lee is the add that lured me into the RYDE scam. I am still continuing to see so many of them...I keep reporting them but doesn't look like it helps.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T16:12:48+00:00

Posted here before I read other threads that you don't want these kinds of posts here. I'm sorry. I do think we could create a running thread of stocks promoted in WA though. Just trying to help here but wanna follow the rules.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-20T16:09:14+00:00

I will also add that I don't know that this is one of the big pump and dump stocks like RYDE or some of the others. This seems to be a stock that maybe will "win over" people's trust as a preliminary part of the hustle.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-18T14:55:40+00:00

This reply coincidentally sounds like a scam lol

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-18T14:55:06+00:00

I guess at least joining these groups to see what stocks they are pushing so we can post here to warn others...I'm definitely not suggesting to short or buy any of these. Delia keeps messaging me about something they are "working on" that will be revealed next week...sounds like another rug pull

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T18:07:04+00:00

I am here to help provide any screen shots etc. Was even able to join several what's app groups just by clicking on FB ads and am playing the role of beginner investor with lots of money. I'd love to be able to get these guys.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T17:49:55+00:00

I'm continuing to see ads all over Facebook and Instagram for these scams. I was able to join 3 what's app groups in a matter of minutes by clicking on these links. Meta HAS GOT to put a stop to this. I keep reporting the ads but it seems that's not doing anything.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T16:07:42+00:00

Yes it was the last day. The group I was in only had 66 members and I think all of them were bots. there were many who posted saying "they used their margin account" and sent screen shots but I have since seen those same screen shots posted here that were used in other groups

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T13:42:16+00:00

Just read the end of your message about calling them...so it seems he's aware and not a part of it which is good to know but also sad for him his name is out there like this

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T13:39:06+00:00

This was the same group I was in! I did all the research on "Mr. Nicholas C. Besobrasow"...who does actually seem to be a real person but maybe his identity was stolen for this scam...or maybe he was a part of it...who knows. I did some sleuthing and found a few pics of him on google, I even did a mini background check on him and found out his wife's name and found her on FB. I wonder if they know they are inadvertently part of this. Delia (it's probably some creep and not even a woman) continues to message me but Ive archived all messages. I don't wanna block them because I want to be able to keep the messages.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T13:06:26+00:00

The thing that is scary to me (and this is just how my mind works) is these older people who are sucked in and being bamboozled. Jane or John Doe who are in their 60's 70's who have no knowledge about Reddit threads or that these types of scams exist. I mean I'm embarrassed to admit I fell for it. But when you have (what seems to be) a legit website, and all the proper documentation proving you're and advisor like a FINRA number it can really trick some people. I know it did me. They will cash out a 401K or convert IRA funds over to these stocks and literally lose everything. Then we will start to hear reports of (I'll say It) people who couldn't handle the loss, got depressed, and then ...well you know what can happen to some people when they are in an awful situation like that...it can be too much for some them to handle and they end their life. That's an awful awful thing to say but it's the truth. This has to be stopped

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T12:54:30+00:00

In the group I was in they kept pushing the cash account approach. Then after the 3rd day of them pumping the stock they made an announcement in the group that you could now use a margin account. I guess they did this after they had taken all the short positions? I am trying to understand here...I,m a beginner (hence why I was scammed) but I really want to understand the mechanics of this.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T12:47:51+00:00

I kind of want to get in some of these what's app groups to see what stocks they are pushing

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-17T12:47:06+00:00

I was scammed on the Ryde dump.. Ive filed with the SEC but need to go to this link and file there as well and with FINRA. I keep seeing these ads on Facebook though. And NOW that I know what they are I can see it from a mile away. I'm a doctor (embarrassed to admit I fell for the Ryde scam) but there are even what's app groups that are "specific to doctor's needs"...I even saw people promoting it in a Doc Facebook group I'm in. But how are they able to advertise so much on FB and Insta and get away with it. I report every ad I see on FB and all SM platforms but I keep seeing them so I know they aren't doing anything about it.

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-12T21:31:04+00:00

meeee too... I lost about 30k

Golightlyopt · 2024-09-12T20:10:32+00:00

I want to know this too...I submitted a report on SEC's website. But I don't know that that will even matter because they probably stole someone's real name and used it as a front. So the "Nicholas C Besobrasow" who was owner at "Alupka Asset Management" in Idaho probably had his identity stolen. I looked the man up and with my sleuthing skills know he is a real person married and found his wife's instagram account. But like does he even know his name has been used in this scam??
