On November 15 this year, the Macau Industrial Group ceased to exist. Investors who invested in the project (someone invested little money, and someone invested a tidy sum) scold themselves for their indiscretion.
Netizens who commented on this event admit that this investment project, which promised investors from 0.8 to 1 percent of profit per day, was perceived as suspicious by some investors from the very first day of its existence.
The project positioned itself as an investment company in China's industrial sector.
Are there many deceived?
The figure "4000" was announced on one of the forums. Consequently, more than four thousand investors not only did not receive a profit, but were not even able to return their own funds invested in Macau Industrial Group. The reviews of the majority of deceived depositors indicate that they are not going to demand the return of their money and consider them irretrievably lost.
However, there aremore die-hard users of the World Wide Web who are ready to fight for their investments to the bitter end.
Is there a possibility of returning deposits?
There really is such an opportunity. In any case, this is the opinion of determined victims who wished to invest in the Chinese economy, but were deceived by the owners of the Macau Industrial Group project. The entrance to the “Personal Accounts” of users is not available today, but there are screenshots of some documents made by prudent contributors. Also, one should not forget about the existence of receipts and statements on the transfer of funds stored in the archives of electronic payment systems and banks.
Radically minded netizens have no doubts: if all depositors without exception who have lost their deposits turn to law enforcement agencies, the scammers will definitely be punished.
Investment project or pyramid scheme?
In one of the discussions, the following version was also voiced: the main deception of the Macau Industrial Group is that the project, calling itself an investment platform, was essentially a financial pyramid.
What is the difference between these two structures? The owners of the financial pyramid generate income by inviting investors. The more participants, the more capital. Promising investors a high income, the creators of the pyramid distribute the profits only among those investors who registered on the site first (in the first line).
The goal of the creators of the investment project israise funds and use them to implement their ideas. Investment planners must notify investors:
- how much you need to invest and what this money will be spent on;
- when the project pays off and turns into a source of passive income.
How not to miscalculate?
As you can see from the reviews, Macao Industrial Group has helped only a small group of online entrepreneurs to get rich. This is true. Some investors managed to withdraw their deposits with a profit, but most had to say goodbye to their money. Internet users, for whom cooperation with the company turned out to be a bitter experience, admit that they rushed to choose an investment site, and regret that they donated their personal savings to a dubious site.
How not to miscalculate and profitably invest hard-earned money? Even highly experienced specialists will not give an exact answer to this question. Investing is almost always a risk.
By the way, the closure of any project often becomes the starting point for the development of new cooperation. Some visitors to the online discussion forums provided by the deceitful Macau Industrial Group took the opportunity to invite frustrated investors to the new online investment platforms.
Any investment must be thoughtful
The golden rule of an investor - do not invest your last or borrowed money - is probably known to novice investors. But before putting it into practice, beginners will have to:
Don't be lazy and study the area in which they are going to invest. In fact, investment experts do not recommend investing in an unfamiliar industry. But if it happened, pay attention to literally every little thing - any freely available document, all the terms and concepts used by the site administration
Replenish your intellectual stock with new definitions (if the topic of the project is unfamiliar) so as not to become a victim of more experienced users of the Web. For example, investors who have entrusted their funds to a newly opened investment company are called business angels. And if the project has already gained momentum, investors are called venture investors
As practice shows, it is the little things missed by an investor who is in a state of emotional euphoria that cause serious miscalculations. Moreover, not only novice investors are in the red. Today, it is not uncommon for sharks of the investment business, upon discovering that a new non-standard and seemingly promising project has appeared on the Web, give away their last savings or go into debt to invest in it, but in the end remain the losers.
Field of activity "Macao Industrial Group". What did the company do?
According to publicly available information, Macau Industrial Group is a trust. This is the name of the property management service. The purpose of the trustmanagement - saving and increasing savings in order to make a profit.
It is known that a certain group of experienced investors called the Macau Industrial Group platform a very attractive project with tempting investment plans. The scam was out of the question: all official documents, according to knowledgeable people, were impeccably executed, and investment payment schedules were short-term and reasonable.
The information published above does not fit in with the messages found on one of the thematic forums. Their essence is as follows: one of the depositors, having discovered that their investment had disappeared along with the site administrator, looked into the deposit insurance agreement, and, according to the testimonies of the members of the forum, that part of the agreement where information about the insurer should be written, was not filled.
What does the trust process look like
Only personal property can be transferred to trust management. A person who owns any property transfers the right to dispose of his savings to a hired manager. The two enter into an agreement that describes the terms of the trust. It also stipulates the amount that the owner must pay to the hired manager.
The manager has no rights to the property entrusted to him. But he is obliged to dispose of someone else's property in such a way that its owner will benefit from this cooperation.
The whole truth about Macau IndustrialGroup". Just facts
Users of the Global Network, who call this company a scam, justify their position with irrefutable facts. The province of Macau, as it turned out, is indeed related to China, but not to the Chinese economy. The specified area is an autonomy (independent territory) and an offshore zone. It is also known that Macau has its own currency.
Today, no one on the Internet doubts that Macau Industrial Group is a scam. According to information provided for free review, the owner of the domain of the suddenly disappeared site was a resident of St. Petersburg, and the site itself was unlikely to be part of a Chinese holding, which is legally registered in Hong Kong. In Macau, according to information published on the Web, only the main office of the said company is located.
What else is known about the project
Macau Industrial Group, according to the advertising text, was founded in 2012 and offered itself as an intermediary between the CIS and China. Participants of the affiliate program were promised a reward - 5% of the investment of all the investors they invited.
To date, Makau I. G., according to information still in the public domain, has proven to be a trustworthy partner, investing in young ventures that he considered promising.
Macau Industrial Group investments, according to information from the Internet, couldcount not only young online businessmen, but also reputable enterprises already having a big impact on the situation in the global market.
On November 16, the project's website was removed from search results and is now inaccessible. The site administration has not made any attempts to comment on the reason for their actions until today.
Meanwhile, users of some forums are discussing the transition of Macau Industrial Group, reviews of which after 2017-16-11 are ominously aggressive, to a new billing system. The founders of the project today are referred to only as "professional bastards of the highest class."
What is billing and what privileges does it give
Billing is a highly professional business mechanism that allows an e-merchant to automate its production, for example, to sell goods and services, to keep track of customers, their applications and invoices, without involving employees.
The owner of the billing system gets the opportunity to simultaneously carry out various promotions, financially encourage affiliate program participants, organize newsletters, advise clients and much more.
Following the footsteps of the admin
Today, when no one can log into the Macau Industrial Group website anymore, user reviews are not so much about lost contributions, but about the possible displacement of the administrator of the "fell" project.
Some forum regulars assure colleagues that the admin of Macau, who ordered to live long, now runs theon a new, similar website, other users offer to place bets: how long will the new project last before the scam? Still others say that in a few days (in particular, the date of November 20, 2017 was named), the disappeared site will reappear on the Web - it will only switch to a new system for receiving and paying payments, it will only change the rules for withdrawing funds …
The majority of forum visitors discuss the forecasts of seasoned investors made a few months ago. The authors of the posts discussed today warned their brothers about a possible scam back then, in August-September, and did not advise extending deposits.
