Hi everyone
I think I/ve been scammed I have bought shares through Pearson Investments in Hong Kong but nothing much seems to be happening. I checked out as much as I could before I invested and first bought snapchat IPOs, which seemed alright Then they were sold and bought Space X shares to which I have bought more. They were supposed to be sold approx. 3 weeks ago but nothing has since been finalised on that " Things are under way".
Now I see that Pearson Investments appear to be unlicenced. Worried. Does anyone know anything about this company or how I can investigate any further.
Regards Dave

Hi,

I've merged your post with an existing topic on Pearson Investments. The company is not registered or authorised in Hong Kong where they claim to be and they are not based at the claimed address on their website.

Please can you post any other email addresses or websites that you were referred to as other victims may be searching for them.

Hi Allan
Here is what I/ve got

Hi Dave,

I saw your post on the above company.
Can i know what is the status now?
I think i have been scammed just like you too on SpaceX shares.

Did you manage to get your returns?
Appreciate your kind reply.

Hi Nathan
I have 4000 shares which apparently is hard to sell because most sales are in block form of 5000 or 10000 shares. I did have someone ready to buy but suddenly disappeared so they abandoned the sale. Since then nothing. I ring up to find out what is happening and can never get directly on to the broker, Justin Blake. Who is your broker?. I would like to keep in contact with you either through here at scamwarners or privately. I would just like us to get our money back or get what is owed to us. Makes me really cranky to think feel I've been scammed. Please reply I'd like to know your story.
Regards Dave

Sorry, but you don't have any shares in SpaceX because they have not offered any to the general public yet. The owners are either the founders/staff or venture capital firms that have funded them. The shares that you have been told you own do not exist and the only people who will talk to you about them are the scammers trying to steal more money from you.

I would also recommend that posters on this topic are weary of having private conversations as scammers have been known to register and claim to be victims in order to contact real victims and further scam them. If you receive a private message from anyone claiming to be another victim or able to help you get a refund, please report the massage so that the moderators can review it.

Hi Dave,

Yes, same broker... Justin Blake.
Same number of shares too for 4000 shares. I am not a scammer but a victim from Pearson Investments... i am sure there are others that are in the same situation. We can share our email Dave.
