WARNING TO INVESTORS: GIM TRADING (www.gimtrading.com) IS A FRAUDULENT OPERATION

IFW Global has received multiple reports from investors who have lost significant sums of money after engaging with an entity known as GIM Trading operating the website https://www.gimtrading.com.

This company claims to offer high-yield fixed-income bonds from reputable financial institutions but has failed to deliver on its investment promises. Victims have reported transferring large sums of money under the impression they were purchasing legitimate bonds, only to later discover that their funds were misappropriated.

 Key Red Flags Identified:

  • GIM Trading acted as an Authorised Representative operating under Pulse Markets Pty Ltd’s Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) 220383.
  • Investors were lured through online advertisements and unsolicited phone calls from individuals posing as financial advisors.
  • The company’s website and email communications appear professional, but no actual investments have been made on behalf of clients.
  • Investors were instructed to send funds to a Commonwealth Bank account registered under Global Investment Marketing.
  • Contact with GIM Trading representatives ceases once investors attempt to withdraw funds or request refunds.

Who Is at Risk?

If you have been approached by GIM Trading or have already transferred funds to their accounts, you may be a victim of this fraudulent scheme. It is crucial that you take immediate action.

How to Protect Yourself:

  • Do not send any further payments to GIM Trading or related entities.
  • Verify all investment firms through official channels such as ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) before transferring funds.
  • Be wary of unsolicited investment offers, particularly those promising high returns with minimal risk.
  • Make a criminal complaint via Report Cyber www.cyber.gov.au
