When searching for “RIF-CAPITAL” in WikiFX, we found that we have not yet confirmed its valid license information. WikiFX has received eight complaints against the trader in the past three months. After reviewing the complaint reports, we found that the victims came from Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. This is a romantic investment scam conducted through dating apps, where people communicate via LINE or Telegram and offer investment advice to get money. In addition, the communication between the scammers and the victims is basically in Chinese, and the target group is the Chinese-speaking community living and working overseas.
In December last year, we also found a question about RIF-CAPITAL on a Japanese Yahoo.

According to the Japanese man, he got to know each other on WeChat, China's SNS. He was originally a Malaysian working in Australia who now wanted to develop his business in Japan. They talked about a variety of topics and eventually came to side hustles. He said he traded forex at RIF-CAPITAL and wanted to introduce him.
Although RIF-CAPITAL did not solicit investment from the Japanese, there is no doubt that this is a typical international romantic scam.
Scammers target Chinese-speaking people who have lived and worked overseas for a long time. They alleviate the victim's loneliness through long-term communication, so as to gain trust, and then cheat money.
In addition, Japanese traders living overseas should also be vigilant, not trust the identity of strangers, and not trade without knowing the dealer.
