SCAM ALERT - Beware of GCU Finance (Also Known as GCU Advisory & Investments Ltd.)
Attention all! Before you consider doing business with GCU Finance or GCU Advisory & Investments Ltd., please be aware of several alarming indications:
Website in Question: gcufinance.com is the primary site of operation for this questionable entity. Always approach such websites with caution.
Fictitious Company: GCU Finance and its affiliated entities are NOT legally registered. Always verify the registration of a company before conducting any transactions.
Fake Board of Directors: The so-called "board members" (https://ibb.co/rv4r82j) displayed on their website are fabricated. Notably, one of the images they use is of Louis Taylor, the Chief Executive of UK Export Finance (UKEF). This information is publicly available and can be checked on the official UK Government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/people/louis-taylor.
Misleading Images: Many of the images used on their website can be reverse-searched using tools like TinEye. Always check the authenticity of images used by companies to avoid being misled. For reverse searches, visit: https://tineye.com/
Unverified Affiliates: They claim affiliations with companies like Asia Capital Holding Ltd, a supposedly Seychelles-established Trust, and GCU Advisory & Investment Ltd. However, there is NO registration evidence for these entities. Confirm any company's legitimacy using reliable platforms. For verification, you can use: https://www.systemday.com/
Advance Fee Fraud: Some individuals have reported paying fees to GCU Finance without receiving any services. This is a classic sign of advance fee fraud. Never pay upfront fees without proper due diligence.
No Face-to-Face Interaction: It's a significant warning sign if a company is unwilling to engage in video calls or face-to-face meetings. GCU Finance has reportedly declined such interactions.
Suspicious Server Locations: Investigations indicate that their servers trace back to Nigeria, which adds another layer of suspicion given the nature of their operations.
If you or anyone you know has been approached by GCU Finance or its affiliates, exercise extreme caution. For additional information or if you've been affected by this scam, please reach out to [Removed random name and free email address - AJ].
Stay informed and always do your research before making financial commitments.
