What happened
MalwareTips published an investigation today into Global Top Investors Alliance at investingclever.com, a Hong Kong-themed stock analysis service selling a single $888.00 monthly membership (daily commentary, weekly stock picks, trade alerts and one-to-one asset allocation) whose Subscribe Now button ends at a PayPal checkout. MalwareTips reports that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) added 'Global Top Investors Alliance (investingclever.com)' to its Investor alert list on November 2, 2026 under the type Unlicensed, listing the website and support@investingclever.com and stating it holds no Australian financial services or credit licence. MalwareTips stresses the ASIC entry is a licensing warning, not a fraud finding. Its own checks found no company name, registration number, licence number, street address, terms or refund policy; an About page claiming 30 years of experience on a domain registered November 18, 2024; a return chart that is only an image; buttons that do nothing and empty research panels; and archived copies showing the site ran under the brand InvestingClever until at least July 2026. MalwareTips could not verify who owns the service or whether any advice is delivered, and advises not to pay for the subscription.
How the scam works
Unlicensed investment and 'AI trading' sites usually start with a polished sign-up form, a promised high or guaranteed return, and pressure to deposit quickly, often after a call or a message on Telegram. Early small withdrawals may be paid so that you send more. Clone firms copy the name, and sometimes the address or phone number, of a real authorised business. Check the firm on your national regulator's register, and type the official website yourself rather than following a link. A regulator warning or a block order is not a finding that a particular customer lost money; it is a notice that the site is not authorised to offer those services.
