LSG Financial Review: “Automated investing” Ponzi scheme
LSG Financial brands itself as a financial firm.
LSG is an online financial institution. We help you plan your financial goals and recommend smart investment choices, so that you save time and gain peace of mind, knowing that your money is working for you.
The company’s name incorporates “Liam, Sachwell & Galahad”. Typically surnames, no evidence is provided to confirm these are actual people.
In fact LSG Financial provides no information about company ownership or its executives.
LSG Financial’s website domain (“lsgfinancial.com”), was privately registered on June 7th, 2021.
SimilarWeb’s tracking reveals traffic to LSG Financial’s website was dead until late August 2022. Top sources of LSG Financial website traffic are Belgium (51%) and the Netherlands (49%).
This even split strongly suggests whoever is running LSG Financial is based out of Europe.
No idea if it’s official or not but a private FaceBook group named “LSG Financial” was created on August 10th, 2022. This coincides with traffic to LSG Financial’s website increasing.
The two admins of the LSG Financial FaceBook group are Dinesh Francis and Freek Otf Andringa.
Francis appears to be promoting multiple Ponzi schemes:
Andringa represents he is based out of the Netherlands.
Contrary to Andringa’s claims above, LSG Financial didn’t exist till 2021.
Prior to LSG Financial, Andringa promoted the EvoRich Ponzi scheme.
Following the arrest of owner Andrey Khovratov, EvoRich collapsed earlier this year.
Another possibility is LSG Financial is run by Russians. This is based on the inclusion of Yandex Translate on LSG Financial’s website.
Yandex is a Russian search engine that typically nobody outside of Russia uses.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]
