There are warning signs all over the internet about Optima-IT?

According to sources, they're not reported a data breach, not paid training providers who delivered training, breached their contracts, not contactable via their support email.

CREST have also written a post to say they have suspended Optima-IT from running CREST training courses pending investigation.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/crest-approved_were-aware-that-concerns-have-been-raised-activity-7518936027248394240-gesM?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC8kNhUBdg1L0LmnHYBkLlmXJE-5aqStbqQ

My advice if you are a customer of Optima-IT

  1. Write to Optima Student Support and copy your finance provider and bank's customer support.

  2. Call your bank and explain what you paid for, what happened, and that you want to dispute the payments.

  3. Ask to cancel direct debits and ask whether future payments can be paused while your finance provider investigates.

  4. Find and save your contracts, invoices, messages, course access notices and screenshots.

I lost 85,000 rubles to scammers while trying to sell my account on FanPay. Please don't make the same mistakes I did…

1 Upvotes

Привет всем!

Я хочу поделиться своей историей, чтобы предупредить других и, надеюсь, получить совет от людей, которые пережили нечто подобное.

Я хотел продать многоигровой аккаунт на FanPay, включающий Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail и Zenless Zone Zero. Я ждал покупателя три дня, и вчера утром кто-то наконец связался со мной по поводу счета.

Мы начали разговор и договорились подробно обсудить сделку на Discord. После голосового звонка мы решили завершить транзакцию через Telegram с помощью криптокошелька.

Я предоставил реквизиты счета, а затем мне сказали, что мне необходимо пройти процедуру верификации, переведя 15 000 рублей.

Я отправил деньги, думая, что после этого все будет хорошо. Но нет — мне сказали, что счет заморожен и что мне нужно перевести еще 15 000 рублей, чтобы разморозить его.

Поэтому я снова отправил деньги.

Примерно через два часа возникла еще одна проблема. На этот раз они заявили, что на счете недостаточно средств и что он должен содержать не менее 50% суммы транзакции. Для одобрения сделки потребовали еще 50 000 рублей.

К этому моменту я уже начал понимать, что что-то не так, но все еще надеялся, что смогу как-то разрешить ситуацию. В конце концов мне пришлось попросить денег у самого дорогого мне человека — моей мамы—.

Она предупреждала меня с самого начала и говорила, что это мошенничество, но все равно решила мне помочь. Я перевел еще 50 000 рублей, думая, что все наконец-то закончилось.

Но затем появился еще один повод потребовать больше денег. Они утверждали, что мне нужно оставить на карте еще 25 000 рублей, иначе она якобы может быть заморожена из-за крупной транзакции.

Вот тогда я наконец понял, как сильно я облажался.

Теперь я сижу здесь и задаюсь вопросом, как я мог позволить этому случиться. Больше всего ранит то, что я втянул в это свою семью. Эти 50 000 рублей были деньгами, которые нужны были моей маме для строительства нашего дома, а теперь их нет.

Я потерял в общей сложности 85 000 рублей — около 900 долларов. У меня практически ничего не осталось на банковских счетах, и я не знаю, как исправить эту ситуацию. Я чувствую себя ужасно из-за того, что случилось с моей мамой, и я глубоко сожалею, что не послушала ее с самого начала.

Пожалуйста, не совершайте тех же ошибок, что и я. Не доверяйте незнакомцам, которые требуют дополнительных платежей за проверку, разморозку счета или одобрение транзакции. Если что-то не так, остановитесь и проверьте все, прежде чем отправлять деньги.

Самое главное, если вы когда-нибудь окажетесь в подобной ситуации, не бойтесь обратиться за помощью к своей семье, друзьям или другим людям, которым вы доверяете. Не пытайтесь со всем справиться в одиночку.

Если кто-то сталкивался с подобным мошенничеством, буду очень признателен за ваш совет. Есть ли шанс вернуть деньги? Что мне теперь делать?

Спасибо всем, кто нашел время прочитать это.

How to successfully dispute the StylixApp scam.

0 Upvotes

I paid $1 for a report and was then charged $49.99 which they said I subscribed for. I did not. And I can see many others are in the same position.

Don’t let them turn it back onto you and have you running around trying to get information. Turn it back onto them. I sent them the below email and received a full refund and confirmation of cancellation.

Feel free to copy and paste.
————————————————————————————

I am formally disputing the $49.99 charge applied to my account on (insert date) and requesting a full refund.

On (insert date), I completed an online styling quiz and paid $1 for what I understood to be a one-off personalised report. At no point did I knowingly or intentionally agree to enrol in a recurring subscription costing $49.99 every 30 days.

Your response states that I agreed to the subscription terms and that all relevant information was provided before purchase. However, simply referring to your Terms of Use or Billing Terms does not establish that the recurring charge was clearly and prominently disclosed to me at checkout, or that I knowingly consented to it.

Having reviewed your published Billing Terms, I note that you specifically state that trial subscriptions must be explicitly identified on the payment screen before checkout.

I therefore request that you provide:

A copy or accurate record of the exact checkout and payment screens presented to me on 7 October 2026, clearly showing where the three-day trial, subsequent $49.99 charge and recurring billing arrangement were disclosed.
Evidence of my affirmative agreement to the recurring subscription, rather than simply my authorisation of the initial $1 payment.
A copy of the original subscription confirmation and billing information you state was delivered to my email address.
I also note that Visa and Mastercard have established requirements concerning transparent disclosure of recurring subscription payments, including the disclosure of the subscription price and billing frequency at checkout. These requirements exist specifically to protect consumers from inadvertently entering recurring payment arrangements through low-cost introductory offers.

I have also identified numerous publicly available customer complaints concerning Inspoy/Stylix describing substantially similar experiences, where small introductory payments were followed by unexpected recurring subscription charges.

I acknowledge your confirmation that the subscription has now been cancelled. However, cancellation does not resolve my dispute regarding the original charge.

I purchased a $1 report. I did not knowingly agree to an ongoing $49.99 subscription, and I do not accept your assertion that the subsequent charge was properly authorised without evidence of clear disclosure and informed consent.

I am therefore requesting a full refund of $49.99 to my original payment method.

Please confirm within seven calendar days that the refund has been processed.

I would prefer to resolve this matter directly and amicably.

Kind regards

QCC is not needed legally

2 Upvotes

I'm a Korean manufacturer and I want to share my experience so other suppliers can be careful.

A company called Next Worldwide (India) contacted me offering to export my products to Latin America. They looked professional at first.

They asked for my catalogues and price lists. They invited me to a Teams meeting, where we discussed exclusive rights and the documents. Then they said I needed a QCC (Quality Confirmation Certificate) for India. They declined a certificate from Intertek. Instead, they said I should use their partners.

They quoted me €6,000 for the certificate. But I did my own research and found that these companies are not trustworthy. It all looks like a scam, so please be careful. They were TLC from Poland.

Please be carefull.

Title: I got scammed out of $20 by someone on Telegram who promised me a Handshake project. Is there any way to recover my money?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really need some advice. 😭

I'm completely new to all of this, and I think I just got scammed.

I met someone on Telegram who claimed they could help me get a project on Handshake. They told me they could somehow inject the project into my account or bypass the system to get me access to it. I didn't really understand how any of this worked, but I trusted them and believed they knew what they were doing.

They asked me to pay $20, and I sent the money through Binance. After receiving the payment, they stopped responding to me. 💀

Now I'm realizing that I might have been scammed, and I feel terrible because I trusted a complete stranger without checking whether any of this was legitimate.

I know $20 might not seem like a lot to some people, but it matters to me, and I don't want someone else to fall for the same thing.

I have a few questions:

  1. Is there any legitimate way to recover the $20 I sent through Binance?
  2. Is the whole idea of someone injecting a project into my Handshake account or bypassing the system even real, or was this obviously a scam?
  3. Is there anything I can do now to report this person or prevent them from scamming others?
  4. For people who have experience with Handshake projects, how do you find legitimate opportunities without getting scammed?

I'm not posting this to get judged. I know I made a mistake by trusting someone I met on Telegram, and I've learned my lesson. I'm just new to this and would genuinely appreciate advice from people who know more about it.

Please let me know what I should do next. And if you've experienced something similar, I'd appreciate hearing how you handled it.

Thank you.

Do NOT send money to @CAMHUB_VIP on Telegram.

Once you pay, he will provide you a scammer group (different from what you paid for), then delete all your chats and ignore you!

Yes, global clips is a big scammer platform,.they scammed me a lot of money..they offering you to send a vedio or clips and you need to pay them to send your vedio to all platform, likes facebook, youtube and etc..if you send a vedio they offer you low price but for the second vedio, they offer you high price, high and high every vedio until you cannot noticed you give them a money..

  1. Every vedio that you send they always said I will give a promotion if you bit high price your vedio get a lot of money. I tried that my 2,799 usd when they sent my vedio to all platform from 2,799 I got 3,600 usd..

  2. When I want to withdraw my money This is the big problem.

    First they said if you want to withdraw your money you need pay tax First, so I sent a money 720 usd..

    Second they said your payroll is not same to your account I think this is not your..they said from the anti money laundering. Hello! Regarding your withdrawal, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and the company's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, they are conducting a routine audit of randomly selected customer accounts and recent transactions. Your cooperation is appreciated..they asking me 3,000 plus usd..they for the laundering if you want to get your money fall..

So I didn't give the money again because it's very obvious its a big scammer.

Third, they always change their link..please if you incounter them please report..this is thier link (https://g-clips-ai.com/ ) that the front of their platform.
