There has been for the last few months another multi-level marketing (pyramid) scam going on in Malaysia called FX United and it is going under the guise of an FX trading company registered under the name United Holdings Group (in New Zealand) where insane returns and bonuses are promised if you sign more people under you and have them sign up more people etc. Some simple research and logical thinking would show that this is indeed a ponzi scheme as such incredible returns are really not possible with what they show to be their business model. Some further research will show that their operating address in New Zealand is fake and over 90% of all the websites traffic is coming from Malaysia, which means it's a scam aimed at Malaysians.

Bank Negara and the Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand has already given out warnings against the company:

Bank Negara Financial Consumer Alert

Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand - Warnings

The following link also busts some of the other supposed information and the comments section also has some good info:

Behind MLM

Please tell everyone you know to avoid this at all costs.

forex is genuine and is a good way to make money, but don't join these bullshit mlm ones, ones like fxcm and oanda are very good.

most forex brokers are scam especially those with instant execution. they won't take your money to the market, instead virtually build up profit/loss. deswai when you win most of the trade they will freeze account or accuse you of scalping. find famous fx broker with market execution.

If you an early investor then you probably will make some money, but you don't know when they will close shop and run with all the money.

I have an ex colleague who joined this too. Told us he already got back his capital and earning good income. Well good for him. Hopefully he don't dump more money into it and get burn.

Reminds me of those poor folks who invested heavily in Geneva Gold.

one of the trait to identify forex (other inv too) scam is to look at their about us
- no info about mngmnt or even if there, the guys probably from area near russia region
- the company address probably at belize

avoid at all cost

This one is supposedly based in new zealand and a simple google search will show that the address is fake. Also there is no phone contact numbers, for a company supposedly handling tens of millions of dollars a month, this is a ridiculous joke.

They have new program now, still looking for people to invest. They seem to have changed their structure a bit.

And here I am, waiting for my money from previous investment with them. Dont think I will get my money back to be honest.
