Hi
I am also part of the group and I set up the DMA account and was about to transfer £1000 to buy shares, fortunately my bank stopped the payment and called me. They said it was definitely a scam, Malta was where the account was being held and he said this was deliberate as they could not get money back from Malta.
I was very lucky today, please be aware of this group.
When their account manager contacted me to ask why I had not transferred the money I said my bank had stopped it. He said not to mention to the bank it was for share dealing but just me transferring money for personal use. The bank said that anyone who asks you to lie to the bank is a typical scammer thing to do.

That’s a good reason to push back on why I didn’t transfer the fund. I also got contacted by someone called Sienna who is in that group using a Spanish number who has been really friendly. Not sure if she is also part of the scam.

Yes I get that from a Spanish number too
Part of scam I’m certain as she said she knows of Tim Wood

So I reached out to someone in my group who had posted a copy of a money transfer…. it had her address account no and sort code on it all 🤦‍♂️
I asked her a few questions which she replied to and then said I was best asking Emily 🤔🤔
Anyway from the transfer she had posted I could see she where she was from and her sort code actually matched the area of her address which is all well and good…
I then asked her where she lived and she has told me a completely different area of the country… like over 200 miles away…
This has totally enlightened me to this whole set up being a scam…. they may actually be pretty good traders as the normal trades do come good most of the time..

If you have given them your name address bank account details date of birth etc you potentially have a problem as they can steal your identity.
Everyone needs to be super careful not to reveal anything. Having our phone numbers is bad w ough because they can clone those too.

This is what I received today from emily because I was not downloading station one. They are giving ultimatum now. Maybe they are now receiving the red light?

I too was just qbout to join the block trade account using the station One app and then thought of googling Tim Wood and Emily Grace Smith. Lucky I did before transferring any money! It did seem genuine with screenshot of people’s trades etc… but I suppose if its too good to be true then likely to be a scam!
