Scammer Alert : Koh Kok Yeow (aka AkiyamaShinichi)

Hello,

Scammer profile : Profile - AkiyamaShinichi - BabyPips.com Forum

Last year, before getting banned from forum, This user messaged me and ask my telegram. In telegram he provided me Metatrader 5 Real Account Investor Password where he made 1000 USD to 11,000 USD within month with Zero Loss and asked me $2,000 to guide. Later, He lost all $11,000 USD with just 2 trade.

I have contacted two reputed member of this forum @tommor and @ProfesorPips to get a suggestion from them. They have clearly stated it is scam and the result wear random in nature.

Later, i stopped talking with him on telegram but recently he mailed me again to my email and also pinged me with new Telegram ID and asked me if i am still interested and this time i said yes but your price was high. He asked $250 to teach and after negotiation he asked $150 to teach.

I asked his PayPal but he denies to get payment through PayPal because PayPal accept dispute if someone scams. He said he can only accept Skrill or Western union because Payment are irreversible, i did not had both but i said i can send payment via WISE.com because i have previously used to make the payment and he agreed because WISE transfer is also irreversible.

I have made the payment through WISE account $150 Transaction information : https://wise.com/en/track/c3603770ae1246ab91fbc98b02582214 and ones he got the payment, he blocked me from telegram, So i emailed him and said i will be filing complaint in in Singapore Cyber-crime Portal and my Local authority, He unblocked me and came online to telegram with secret chat which disappear every 10 seconds and also we had talked on Phone call through telegram audio call.

He abused me and cursed me a lot and he given me one investing.com link : https://www.investing.com/currencies/live-currency-cross-rates and said Buy all the green and sell all the red. When i asked about StopLoss, TakeProfit, Entry, Exit and Risk to reward, He says no real trader use those, those are useless. Close the trade when you see enough profit and keep the trade live if your in negative floating.

I totally, agree even through i warned by @tommor and @ProfesorPips last year, i took this foolishness step and got scammed. I request other member of the forum to not get scammed by him or any similar peoples. And also i request the member of forum to give me suggestion what should i do next?. I have decided to file complaint in my local authority and mailing WISE.com, His bank and Singapore Government portal.

Hi @shanmugapradeep,

I’m sorry to hear that you got scammed twice by this person.

  1. Let’s stick to PayPal from now onwards because most scammers will avoid legitimate platforms that allow reversible transactions.

  2. There are tons of quality information out there teaching us how to trade forex, you do not have to pay for it.

  3. If you are Singaporean, you can submit an official police report here: SPF e-Services

If you are not Singaporean, you can still submit a scam report via the official government app over here: Submit scam reports

I wish you all the best and pray that you have better luck in finding a trading mentor that is legitimate.

Hi @shanmugapradeep, I’m sorry to hear your incident. I was similar with you. I learned forex first time in Singapore around 2005. After while, I realized most mentors were fake, especially the expensive one. They could camouflage themselves as freelance trader, the fact is, real trader won’t be that free.

Hi @StartGoldTrading, Are you from singapore? How is CFD trading in Singapore? I go to singapore often, but seldom discuss it with my Singaporean friends :slight_smile:

Yes I’m based there. I’m not too sure of the CFD Trading scene in Singapore, similar to you, I don’t discuss trading with friends as it can get very intense for no logical reasons. :joy:

Also, I learnt from my previous experience in trading CFDs to not overshare, karma kind of bites back at you pretty quickly. :rofl:

Hi @StartGoldTrading, nice to know you. Yup agree, we don’t talk trading, unless it’s for business :rofl: I more curious about the regulation and law by using oversea broker, just like how MOM administering the fund, in and out

Next time I go to singapore, let’s have Briyani together :grin: … I always visit a Briyani Restaurant near Bukit Merah Central, the terminal, do you know Brinda ? :smiley:

Or probably the crab house near Ang Mo Kio ? :rofl:

Appreciate the offer! Brinda’s a good choice, although I always end up heading to the huge market behind Brinda’s :joy:

As of now, I am staying on the path of a trader and avoiding the business aspect of things. I understand that a lot of traders will end up diversifying their income streams with IB programs and asset management services, but I’m comfortable with just trading. I’m more comfortable right now just connecting online if that is okay with you :slightly_smiling_face:

Have a great week ahead!

Hi @StartGoldTrading,

Agree, I also like the Lai Hin fish ball stall. I visit this place frequently. :smiley:

No worry, I have no intention to offer you anything, trading or IB. :rofl: I understand how dirty is trading industry. I never talk trading to friends

I like to meet friends and learn their experiences and story. That’s all …
Nice to know you :innocent:
