Of note is SDT Quant’s logo being an Adobe stock image:

Digital Holdings Group fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

While Digital Holdings Group does provide a list of executives, none of them actually exist.

None of the presented individuals appear in Digital Holdings Group’s recorded marketing material. This is typical of scammers using stolen profile photos and/or AI generated images.

On its website, Digital Holdings Group also lies about when the company was created;

Established in 2017, Digital Holdings Group rapidly rose to prominence …

Digital Holdings Group’s website domain, “digitalholdingsgroup.io”, was privately registered on May 5th, 2024. Digital Holdings’ official FaceBook page wasn’t created until May 30th, 2024.

In other words, Digital Holding Group didn’t exist prior to May 2024.

One name we can attach to Digital Holdings Group is Kav Singh, author of the company’s official marketing presentation.

This suggests whoever is actually running Digital Holdings Group has ties to India and/or neighbouring countries (based on a name search).

For September 2024, SimilarWeb tracked 100% of Digital Holdings Group’s website traffic as originating from India.

In its marketing, Digital Holdings Group also suggests ties to Dubai:

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to Digital Holdings Group, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

Eternal Horizon’s website domain (“eternaliot.com”), was privately registered on July 22nd, 2024.

If we check the source-code of Eternal Horizon’s website support page, we learn it runs on the Meiqia platform:

Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running Eternal Horizon has ties to China.

Update 17th October 2024 – The Central Bank of Russia issued an Eternal Horizon pyramid fraud warning on October 16th, 2024. /end update

When news of OmegaPro co-founder Andreas Szakacs’ arrest broke in August, Abdul Ghaffar Mohaghegh was credited with tipping off Turkish authorities.

The investigation leading to Szakacs’s arrest began with a tip-off on June 28, when an anonymous informant reported to the Istanbul Provincial Gendarmerie Command that Avcı was residing at a location in Acarkent, Istanbul, under the guise of OmegaPro.

This tip was corroborated by Dr. Abdul Ghaffar Mohaghegh, a Dutch national who provided critical testimony.

Mohaghegh should be commended for turning Szakacs in, but his decision to do so is plagued with controversy. [Continue reading…]
