What Were MarketMaster Pros?
MarketMaster Pros presented themselves as an expert trading company that could earn investors large returns in multiple commodities and cryptocurrency.
They allegedly used fake celebrity endorsements with high-profile individuals such as David Beckham and Martin Lewis to promote the investment and gain trust.
Fake Martin Lewis Ads have been at the forefront of scams recently, with Martin Lewis confirming he does not promote any investments and such promotions are a scam.
What Happened With MarketMasterPros?
Some Investors were asked to convert funds to cryptocurrency before sending them onto the company, who would then supposedly invest the funds to earn large returns.
In some cases, investors report being able to withdraw small amounts initially, a pattern commonly observed in similar collapsed Investment schemes and recent cases such as Quantum AI and CW Management.
Unfortunately, investors have since reported losing money to the company and have since been asked for fees to withdraw their profits.
Investors have reported the following warning signs:
Promises of high or guaranteed returns
Contact initiated through social media platforms
Pressure to invest or send additional funds
Requests for “withdrawal”, “tax”, or processing fees
Difficulty or inability to withdraw funds
