Hello, my name is Emre, and I’m from Turkey. I would like to share my experience working as an agent for Facto Company, which owns several trading platforms, including Inefex, InvestMarkets, Investico, Big Markets, and Bull Markets. I believe it’s important for individuals from Japan, Korea, Qatar, UAE, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, and Germany to read this carefully, as these companies often target clients from these countries. Company Overview Facto Company operates out of Istanbul, specifically in the Maslak area, within the Burgan Bank building. Although it presents itself as a legitimate business, many employees work without proper permits, and there are serious concerns regarding the legality of their operations. The company allegedly pays off certain officials to avoid scrutiny from local authorities. Financial Practices I must highlight that Facto Company is involved in questionable financial practices, including tax evasion. Bonuses for agents are paid in cash, contrary to Turkish regulations that require bank transfers, which raises concerns about the source of these funds. The company's leadership includes individuals from Israel and Ukraine, with a floor manager known as "David," whose real name is Tural, overseeing operations. He is responsible for training agents on how to attract clients and manage their investments. Client Interaction Agents are incentivized based on client deposits rather than profits made for clients. This means that agents may pressure clients to deposit significant amounts—often starting around $75,000. The initial calls from agents, referred to as SAMs (Sales Account Managers), often involve misleading information designed to build rapport and identify potential vulnerabilities in the client’s financial situation. During follow-up calls, clients are presented with enticing investment opportunities, which may create a sense of urgency or fear of missing out. The agents will often encourage clients to make additional deposits, and they may even facilitate small withdrawals to create a false sense of security. However, once clients are committed, agents may employ deceptive tactics to manipulate trades and ultimately lead to financial losses. What to Do If You’ve Invested If you have already invested in any of these platforms, I recommend taking the following steps: Request a Withdrawal: Log into your account and initiate a withdrawal of your balance. Be aware that agents may try to contact you to cancel this request. It’s crucial to ignore these calls; if you do not cancel your withdrawal, your funds should be returned. Document Your Transactions: Keep a record of any documents you signed, especially those declaring your understanding of the risks involved. This can be important if you need to dispute any losses later. Contact Your Bank: If you believe you have been scammed, inform your bank immediately and request an investigation to recover your funds. Reach Out to Regulatory Authorities: If your bank is unable to assist, contact regulatory bodies to report the situation. Persistence is key; continue to follow up with authorities until you receive a response. Inform Turkish Authorities: It’s vital to report your experience to Turkish authorities, as they may not be fully aware of the operations within the company. If you need assistance identifying contacts, feel free to reach out to me. My Motivation I am sharing this information not only to raise awareness but also to help others who may have been affected by these practices. After working for Facto for eight months, I experienced difficulties myself, including being dismissed after a medical emergency. I am committed to supporting anyone who has been scammed by these platforms and will do so without expecting anything in return. If you are considering investing, I strongly advise against engaging with companies that employ aggressive sales tactics or pressure you to deposit more funds. These practices often lead to negative outcomes. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it helps you make informed decisions regarding your investments
