Official Warnings (1)
We have received reports of verbo-fx.com and verbofx.com operating a cryptocurrency trading scam.
A New Zealand resident was befriended on Facebook and subsequently contacted via WhatsApp, where they were referred to the trading app VerboCapital-live.
This app appears to fabricate trading profits and inflate account balances to encourage further deposits. It is associated with verbo-fx.com and verbofx.com.
This victim was able to conduct “trial trading” and successfully withdraw a small amount of money. However, later attempts to withdraw funds or access so-called trading profits were unsuccessful.
They were then asked to pay a “cryptocurrency trading tax” to get their money out. After unsuccessful withdrawal attempts, they were locked out of their trading account.
