What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into FSMSmart over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.

We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.

The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that FSMSmart - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.

In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

Investigative Report: Allegations, Red Flags, and Adverse News Against FSMSMART

FSMSMART, a financial services and trading platform, has faced a series of serious allegations and red flags that have raised concerns about its legitimacy, transparency, and business practices. These issues have significantly damaged its reputation and could explain why the company might resort to extreme measures, including cybercrime, to suppress damaging information.

Major Allegations and Red Flags:
Misleading Marketing and False Promises:
FSMSMART has been accused of luring clients with unrealistic promises of high returns and low-risk investments. Former clients and industry watchdogs have reported that the platform uses aggressive marketing tactics, often targeting inexperienced traders. Such practices have led to accusations of deceptive advertising, which undermines trust in the platform.

Lack of Regulatory Compliance:
FSMSMART has faced scrutiny for operating without proper regulatory licenses in several jurisdictions. Regulatory bodies in countries like the UK, Australia, and Canada have issued warnings against the platform, stating that it is not authorized to provide financial services. This lack of compliance raises serious concerns about the legality and safety of its operations.

Client Fund Mismanagement:
Numerous clients have reported difficulties withdrawing their funds, with some alleging that FSMSMART deliberately delays or denies withdrawal requests. These accusations suggest potential mismanagement or misuse of client funds, which is a significant red flag for any financial service provider.

Poor Customer Support and Transparency:
Complaints about unresponsive customer service and a lack of transparency in fee structures and trading conditions have further tarnished FSMSMART’s reputation. Clients have expressed frustration over hidden fees and unexplained account closures, which have eroded confidence in the platform.

Association with Scam Allegations:
FSMSMART has been linked to multiple online scam allegations, with victims claiming they were defrauded of substantial sums of money. These stories, often shared on social media and consumer complaint forums, have painted the platform as a potential scam operation.

Adverse News and Reputational Damage:
Several investigative reports and consumer watchdog articles have highlighted FSMSMART’s questionable practices. For example, a 2022 exposé by a financial news outlet detailed how the platform allegedly manipulated trading outcomes to ensure client losses. Another report by a cybersecurity firm suggested that FSMSMART’s website had been involved in phishing attempts to collect sensitive user data.

These stories harm FSMSMART’s reputation by portraying it as an untrustworthy and potentially fraudulent entity. For a company operating in the highly regulated financial services industry, such negative publicity can lead to a loss of clients, legal action, and increased scrutiny from regulators.

Why FSMSMART Might Resort to Cybercrime:
Given the severity of these allegations, FSMSMART has a strong incentive to suppress damaging information. Negative reviews, scam allegations, and regulatory warnings can deter potential clients and lead to a decline in revenue. By removing or discrediting such content, FSMSMART could attempt to rebuild its image and continue operating without facing the consequences of its actions.

Cybercrime, such as hacking into websites or social media accounts to delete negative reviews, could be seen as a desperate measure to control the narrative. However, such actions would only compound the company’s legal and ethical issues, further damaging its reputation if uncovered.

In conclusion, FSMSMART’s alleged misconduct and the resulting adverse news have significantly harmed its credibility. The platform’s potential motivation to suppress this information, even through illegal means, underscores the extent of its reputational crisis and the high stakes involved in maintaining its operations.

How This Was Done

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?

Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
