Scam narrative
The IGC Markets scam has been active for a few months now. Currently, there are no reviews on Trustpilot. However, we have found some bought (sponsored) positive reviews like on CryptoCurrency Regulations (here) or CryptocyNews (here) have been published as late as mid-August 2021. MaxxMedia LLC was not registered in St. Vincent & The Grenadines until June 2021 with registration number 1162, according to the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
In our first review, we discovered Coinsxo as a facilitating payment processor. In our re-check today, no deposit was possible without consulting the account manager a/k/a boiler room agent.
