WhatsApp stock investing group

I recently lost 400k USD in a stock investing scam. It's all a "pump and dump" scheme in HongKong Stock exchange. HK stock exchange is the worst with pump and dump schemes everywhere, its the worst with no regulations and so the scammers select HK exchange

1/ I starts with a ad on Facebook or WhatsApp group that they will give stock investing tips. In my case, I saw a link in one of community pages with the name "US stock wealth management" managed by Martin and Eula.

2/ once you join the investing group, they will give some stocks mostly HK stocks and show you some profit and some losses, but mostly profits.

3/ if anybody is showing interest, they keep emailing and try to suck you in the "elite A1" group with investment of 100-300k or 300-500k or 500-1M USD. There is when things starts to get worse really fast. I was greedy and put all my savings in 300-500k group, biggest mistake of my entire life.

4/ in the elite group, they ask you to invest all and they have some insider information this stock would do good and invest even more of your savings and then within a week , you will lost 80% in the first investment itself. They really want your snapshots of your shares and then they make a move. So they keep asking for them. They are so important for them. One day, kaboom, it goes down 80 percent. They keep lying that they also lost money, in reality, they made a lot.

5/ Then they will say something bad happened, somebody leaked information but the next investment will make up for losses.

6/ just to show you some confidence they make you 10% profit on the next one.

7/ Next they will ask you to invest more to recover all your losses by investing in the next stock

8/ next game over, in the next stock you will lost almost 90% and lose all. They are ruthless and only business. They will keep saying they will compensate .. but donot believe it. The money is gone.

Donot try to beat them in their game. They know exactly how many stocks in circulation from the snapshots you provided them and how to pump and dump the stock. They almost precisely control the stock price to the degree that they can give you a small profit. They keep asking for snapshots of stocks bought and stocks sold based on their recommendation. They ask mobile snapshots and very difficult to manipulate them(atleast I donot know) They know exactly how many have brought stocks from the WhatsApp groups they are promoting and they make the move. They bought positions in these stocks long time back and who knows they might be shorting these stocks also. They only select stocks which are highly volatile and less market cap so that they can easily influence.They have numerous WhatsApp groups and while some groups gets some profit at some point in time but most other groups gets screwed. I recommended me one stock to give 30 percent again. I thought I will be careful and put a stop order . But the stock went low so fast, the stop order executed at the absolute minimum and when it rebounded , I lost even more. The person “Martin” who gives these morning updates about the stock market and market in general, doesnot have any clue about investing. I asked him couple of questions about a stock and his answers were very bizarre and very general. The stock market analysis is handed down to him by some expert to bring some confidence and lure the investors. This is all big network of people. It’s a dangerous network.

Unfortunately the elite investment group is the one who gets massacred the most, so sad but true. All my hard earned money is lost. It will take years and years if at all I recover from this. please donot believe in any of these quick get rich schemes. I have to build my life from scratch again. But life moves on, there is no other way . But this memory is so etched in my brain, I can never forget .

Please run away from these groups. I want to report this to FBI. How do I report this to FBI or HongKong SEC commission if there exists one? please advice. I want to create awareness so that it will not happen to others. Please create awareness. Nobody should land in trouble like me. If you see the ad in Facebook or WhatsApp community groups, please flag to the moderator and nip it in the bud.
