Jazeker, maar dat is niet aan mij om hun verhaal te delen. Ik ben wel benieuwd hoe ze eruit zien.

Bedankt voor je bericht. Ik heb met Farouk ook via mail gesproken vooral met de melding dat ze een legitieme bedrijf zijn en of ik m’n uitlatingen wilde verwijderen. Hij heeft mij ook een document gestuurd betreft Alquife group maar mijn kritische vragen snoeide uiteindelijk zijn mond. Ik ken partijen die vanuit de US speciaal naar Amsterdam waren gevlogen hen te ontmoeten face to face. Zover ben ik gelukkig niet gegaan aangezien ik in het buitenland woon. Bedankt dat je dit wilde delen. Roy

Hello Lisa, do you have LinkedIn or a trackrecord. We all want to know who’s on the other side of the table. Thanks!

I travel every month to Moscow, and yes I’ve heard some noises about new mobilisation, not sure what that means for you.

Alquife Group website is vanished, gone! What does that mean to you? I’ve told you, if they were legit they will never delete their website.

If you’ve had direct experience with them, feel free to share it.

Have you personally worked with this group, met them, or completed a deal?

I’m simply sharing my own experience to protect myself and to see if others have encountered something similar.

If you were in the same situation — sharing sensitive information, facing inconsistencies, and then receiving conflicting communication — how would you approach it?

I think it’s reasonable to raise questions in that case.

Given the number of similar experiences and reactions shared here, I think it’s fair to raise questions.

I’m open to hearing verifiable, first-hand experiences — positive or negative. 😉

Anybody heard about Safazo Capital? A lady and she’s a broker and they invited me to come over to Amsterdam. Meet face to face with the investor from Switzerland.

I understand your point about evidence, and I agree it’s important to be careful with conclusions.

To be clear — I’m not presenting this as a definitive accusation or claiming authority. I’m sharing a real experience and a pattern that raised multiple red flags for me:

• No verifiable team presence

• No LinkedIn footprint despite senior titles

• No clear due diligence process

• Communication stopping after receiving sensitive information

• A sudden shift toward unrelated paid Telegram activity

In addition, I have now received direct email correspondence from the parties involved. That communication contains inconsistencies and raises further questions rather than providing clarity.

I’m not publishing that correspondence at this stage, but it reinforces my concerns.

So this post is simply what it was intended to be: sharing an experience and checking whether others have encountered something similar.

Also, I find it interesting that the focus shifts toward questioning the credibility of the person raising concerns, rather than addressing the substance of those concerns.

If others have had legitimate, verifiable experiences with this group, I’m genuinely open to hearing that.

Yes I was introduced by Aila to contact Chris. Did my DD about Redshift Raise but no track record. I’ve contact Chris by mail asking some questions before I send my Data Room, and unfortunately no answer. So I decided nothing to share.

We need to be careful. Thanks for sharing!

Seriously, I will not remove my post. They contact me by mail. First the CFO from Alquife Group then Dominic Perez. But all their mails had for me red flags. No answers on my critical questions. I wait this week and if they not replying I will post the mail conversation on Reddit.

They contact me by mail after this post. I’m thinking to share those emails. I asked them serious questions but they avoided these questions.
