I got scammed by Investec Trade when I was looking for a job that I could do from home.
I was talking to James Carter on Telegram. He gave me some really bad advice.
Now Investec Trade is telling me that I have to pay them another five thousand five hundred pounds to get my money back.
This is all because I wanted a job that I could do from home.
It has been a nightmare.
The good thing is that Poma Advisory has actually helped me to start getting my money
It is not easy to deal with these people who have taken my money.
If Investec Trade has also taken your money you should get in touch with Poma Advisory.
The main thing to remember is that you should not believe the promises that Investec Trade makes.
They are not true. You will lose all of your money if you trust them.
Investec Trade is a scam. You should stay away from them.
I do not want anyone else to go through what I have been through, with Investec Trade.

Be very carefully for Leslie Miles.I lost a lot of money in May 2025.a Day before my money was supposed to be paid out he was apparently in a car accident.Then all of a sudden a Mr Nick took over demanding more money to release the money.I refused to pay more to get my money released.The money shows on Bitcoin but was grey and false.While he was apparently in a coma I kept on sending him messages which by the way was all read but never replied to.One day out of the blue I got a rude replied from Leslie Miles.He swore at me for worrying more over my money than his heath.He even changed is email address and company details.You cannot get them on the Internet anymore.He told me straight that he can get my money released but he would not do it.I told him that is fine and hope it brings happiness to him and his family.He will get Devine justice from God.I made peace with the money I had lost.So do not trust any of these scumbags.Do not invest by them.

Avoid investing here since they have …….

Don't invest here because they have so many hidden fee . You won't be aware until you re about to withdraw. They never warn or mention this fee when you're making deposit. Stay away and find company with no hidden fee like Good merit. and weekly take out.

Beware of Investech Trade!

Be careful when investing with Investeh Trade. It takes 5 minutes to open and deposit your funds but when you want to withdraw your funds it is impossible. I invested with Leslie Miles and he keep on pushing to invest more money. Even gave me an "Black Friday" opertunity to buy insurance by increasing my investment to a certain level which I declined. I opted to rather to cancel my investment. Nickolas Bryce (CFO) informed me to pay 20% Capital Gains Tax because I'm not SWISS citizen and would get it back in tax rebate with my investment. I had to open a decentralized wallet especially for this. Miles assisted with that. Funds $35k was transferred into Tether USD token on Coinbase wallet. The token was greyed out and I could not transfer funds. Miles told me I need to make 10% liquidity fee. I did not have that much (about 9%). He said its ok it had worked before. After payment still no funds to access. Miles told me I was unlucky and should make another 10% liquidity payment and I cannot top-up the previous payment. I contacted Coinbase and they said it is utter rubbish and the Tether token was a fake (there is no value) to it and they confirmed I was being scammed. I gathered all evidence forward it to Bryce. He offered me a withdrawal guarantee agreement in which I have to pay Investech the 10% liquidity that would be refunded with the investment should I not be able to access my funds. I declined. Next day my Binace coin token where I had funds for the fuel levy was cleared without my authorisation. When I checked the hash the receiving wallet address was the same wallet address that made the bogus transfer to the fake token!

Please do not engage with these scammers!!

NICK & ANTONIO promised us their investment plan was low risk!! But my dad and I notcied all they do is request for more money to invest!! due to our greed, we fell for it and just kept giving them our money and apparently they lost it all.

the ridiculous part is they even after this they kept asking for more money!! that was why we had to source for external sources to get our money back from those THIEVES!! NICK AND RUBEN!! YOU'RE ALREADY BEING INVESTIGATED. WATCH YOUR BACK!!

Investec(h) Trade still scamming people

Since my last review about Investec(h) Trade, I have spent countless hours communicating with various traders / crypto experts / VALR / forensic fraud investigators and they all have reported the same answer - YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.
So, Leslie Miles assisted me with the withdrawal of my funds, and basically what they did was send me $33000 in fake coins. So, the transaction reflects in a wallet of yours, but it sits marked as SPAM.....When i tried to get the funds from my wallet, it says the coin used - USDT - isnt supported by Binance Smart Chain..we used the TRON network for all my deposits and then on withdrawal Mr Leslie Miles insisted we use the Binance Smart Chain network as Tron "wasnt working" . When these fake coins arrived in my wallet, Leslie Miles told me another lie - to get the funds from a Coinbase wallet you have to deposit 10% of the funds into your Coinbase wallet so they can verify you. I contacted Coinbase who confirmed that is utter rubbish and there is no need to deposit any funds for verification. Since then they have locked my trading account - which still has approximately $4000 in it, and then demanded i send an immediate $3800 more to them for"Swiss government tax deductions" ......please everyone - do not deal at all with Investech Trade or Leslie Miles or his assistant Nick - they are thieves of the 1st degree. Ive lost any spare money I had, and a small pension fund payout I took to increase my investment. they will steal all your investment.

BE CAREFULL THEY WILL SCAM YOU !!!!

BE CAREFULL THEY WILL SCAM YOU !!!!
NICK BRYCE and ANTONIO RUBEN lured my Husband and I into investing our life's savings. There promise was to invest our capital in a low risk portfolio. Everything was going really well giving us a false sense of security. They kept on asking for more money even when they did a high risk trade and lost everything on a single Sugar trade. they then had the audacity to ask for 50,000 Dollars US so the Insurance would cover our loss when we explained we did not have this amount they came back with an amount of 100 K then they wondered why we never replied. If any one has any suggestions on how to try and recoup the loss we would be most gratefull.

InvestechTrade: Leslie Miles Is A Scam Artist

I was told by a friend I trust (Probably also scammed) that his uncle became a millionaire through investechtrade.com, by working with Leslie Miles. Naturally I trusted my friend and got into contact with Leslie Miles via Tellegram.

I tried to video call him and he told me it wont be necessary. He told me that I'll be fine and he can handle my investment as soon as I invest money.

He started to become inpatient with me. I asked my friend why he is so rude? My friend told me "He is not rude, he is just straight forward and honest."

I accepted the explanation and went forward by investing 91000 ZAR. For the first three months I accepted his disrespect and rude manner, until I asked Leslie Miles to please be more respectful.

His response was "Once you have 100000 USD I'll be more respectful and if you don't behave I'll donate your money to Southern Africa Philanthopy". I told him that he's not allowed to do it, so he did.

Afterward Leslie told me "You better apologize withing four days, otherwise I wont be able to stop the donation."

Naturally I apologized because he is keeping every cent I own hostage.

Later on I saw my funds back on the platform. I told him "I would please like to learn as suggested earlier, how to withdraw funds, I would like to withdraw $300 for personal reasons."

Leslie sent me the following message:

"If you don't want to discuss financial cash flow with your Investment Advisor, than you better find other asset management company to do the job for you"

Again Leslie Miles proposed earlier to show me the ropes on how to do withdraw money.

All I asked was for him to make it $300.

I told Leslie Miles that it's a misunderstanding, reading text might sound different (I am from South-Africa and he is in Switzerland, according to him).

He called me and told me "You are not a good investor and you should dis-invest yourself."

I told him again it's a misunderstanding. However he wanted to hear nothing of it.

I went ahead filling out the form he sent me for a fund release. Leslie Miles made a false Coinbase Wallet with false TetherUSD in it.

I contacted Coinbase through their Facebook agent link that is also available on the Coinbase Wallet app, after several hours the agent told me that it is false tokens worth nothing.

I sent Leslie Miles a screenshot of the agents response telling him he sent me false tokens and asking him where my money is.

His exact response was: "On your Coinbase walllet, but you better check with Simpal".

Simpal according to Google is a charity.

*People: If you invested into this scam, you are not alone.

*Do not trust this false name, they will make up an excuse for any bad commentary. I also had questions and I got plausible answers. They?? will do the same with you. They will release a little money to drag you into their pyramid scam.

When you ask one too many questions, they get rude and demanding. (Your money is long gone as soon as it lands).

Look the other way when you hear an agent is offering to handle your trades for you.

!!! If it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true!!!

If anyone want the Tellegram conversations, I will gladly share it. I personally went through this scam, do not be the next one.

To date I have not seen a dime.

It's a cleverly done ruse and had Fortrósehallnot intervened I'd have been swept away too. The goal is to do or say anything that'll give you a false sense of security or safety and then commit to them. Once they are in control they disappear and become hard to reach, terrible scheme.

Brilliant Scam

I was sucked into their scheme after reacting on an article about the AI, Quantum trading algorithm, apparently developed by Elon Musk. I was quickly contacted by Investec-trade (now Investech trade ) and an account was set-up. The account trading page was brilliant, i could log in and see trades being opened and closed. in one instance I closed a trade that was going south from my end. The agent did not appreciate my intervention. This made it seem more legit. My plan was to get to a certain level and then withdraw a monthly "allowance". Once I started talking withdrawals, the deal went sour. I was advised to close my account. My balance suddenly increased 7 fold. I now had to pay the brokers fee, which due to the sudden increase in balance was more than my initial investment, before the "profit' could be released. Please be careful and remember: if it is too good to be true - it is not.

This is a roller coaster experience of a elderly person looking for an opportunity to support my meager income.
I paid the required deposit after which I was informed that more equity is required to get the assistance of the broker named Alex Smith. I did not have the resources so he offered to loan me a $1000 of which it reflected in the trading account a day later. The account has a balance of $1412,15. I requested a withdrawal to test if the system is working by requesting a $100 withdrawal. This is where things started going wrong. The withdrawal request was denied. The trading account has been blocked. They want me to pay the $1000 back to them. How can I trust them if I cannot even do a withdrawal of $100. I requested them to reverse the $1000 credit loan and they declined. Their rules state that they can do so. Now the situation is a standoff. Their support service do not reply to e mail

I am not getting any answers back from the changed name of Investech-trading after several mail messages sent.I just want my money back.Mr Leslie-miles is running the show there,it seems to me.With his attitude I can not see anyone investing there.They can take a deposit within 5 min. from your accouny but wait for withdrawal request. Then it becomes very complicated but they never tell you that at the start.
