Pantheon Ventures Whatsapp group scam is now in Malaysia.

This is a professional scammer group with large amount of workers.

First, you will be invited to an investment group, a teacher and an assistant will approach you to give free lessons. They will share some stock trading tips which would make you gain profit if you followed. They will also register you to join the 1 hour online trading class every Sunday to Thursday for free.

The members of the whatsapp group are very active, they will share their daily life photos and do a lot of discussions of trading. Their profile pictures are visible and some are not, just like normal whatsapp group. Some group members will pm you personally to make friends with you, they will act like they are newbie and they have bad experiences in stock trading, they also scare to be scammed, comforting you that you're not the only new guy. They will even form a small group and invite you in, to protect each other.

In the online class, teacher will analyze the latest market trend and start selling their market profit plan to the students. The students in the online class are very active, it is not pre-recorded video, it is a live class and whatever you type in the class, teacher will give feedback.

Once you've joined for certain days, teacher will start persuading students to follow her/his plan, to invest in the global market which can get higher return. She/He will invite a so-called partner platform for student to download which can be found in Apple Apps Store and Google Play Store, not sending you an unknown link to download.

After downloading the apps, register successfully, the customer service will request for video call for verification. Everything looks proper and professional.

There are many functions in the apps like Block Trades, AI Trading Funds, IPO subscription and etc, like normal investment apps, you need to deposit the money to your apps wallet before you start trading. The apps mirroring the real market index, everything you trade is following the market index, everything like real until the time you withdraw the money.

When withdrawal gets problem, you will start asking your friends in the group, you will found, all of them can only be reached through whatsapp, their phone numbers are all not in service or unreachable. You're the only real person in the study group among 100++ of members, including your teacher and assistant.




Here some tips to avoid scammer trap:-
1. Do not download any unknown apps even it can be found in Apple Apps Store or Google Play Store, there must be something suspicious of the apps like zero comment or newly published.
2. Check the account number given before deposit any amount of money, Malaysia government have given plenty of websites for Malaysian to check the validity of bank account.
3. If the beneficiary account is weird, like personal account or sdn bhd or enterprise which is not related. Stop bank in the money!
4. If you have successfully withdrawn some small amount of money, and the money is from non-related company, this is a scam.
5. Check your whatsapp group member's phone number one by one, especially those talkative and very active. If their number is not reachable, quit the group immediately.
6. Call 997 (only Malaysia) to reach out to the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) within 24 hours if you suspect you have fallen victim to a scam. If you’ve banked in the money to the scammer and you were lucky reading this thread within 24hr, 20% of chance u can chase back your money.

Dei oldest tactic in the scam book .

Rules in life in investing/ making money.

1. No one owes you million/ billions
2. No one owes you the skill to make money
3. No one will spend time teaching you how to make money without any return
4. No one shares their secret wealth making tips (unless you are where they make money)


The above rules is worth hundreds, thousands, and millions.

Keep them in your wallet next to your precious family photo.

Not that I intend to invest in this "pantheon ventures", but in this day and age, I can't find screenshots of those whatsapp group chat showing the victims kena game.

Tried to search "pantheon ventures screenshot" and other similar keywords, nothing.
