Scam narrative

The ALG Capital clone is implemented miserably and only aims to steal potential customers’ data. After registration, one is urged to upload a copy of ID cards and utility bills to start trading. They want your data in the first place; it allows the scammers to work with, abuse, or sell this data. In many cases, scammers use stolen client data to register on crypto platforms or as customers with payment processors.

Stay far away and protect yourself from the loss and misuse of your data. Save yourself a lot of trouble, frustration, and financial losses.
