One of the longest running scams online, after the Immediate Edge and Brexit Millionaire, is the seemingly unending Quantum AI Scam. This scam first gained traction as what appeared to be a UK-based scam, and back then it was called the Q-Profit System.
The QProfit System – Quantum AI’s Daddy
The Q-Profit system soon moved over to the US, probably run by the same people who had moved on from targeting the UK to bigger fish. Using characters like Jerry Douglas, below.
This was a very familiar scam; a technology that could predict the stock-market so that you could make a fortune pretty much overnight with a small investment. It was the very early stages of the boiler room scam.
Affiliates/Fake Reviewers
At this point in time the affiliates were not the armies that they are now. There were few sites trying to make money and many of them were still foolish enough to think that there was some sort of truth in the product that they were selling. The huge fees they were receiving for signing people up somehow still allowed people to think that the trading products they were recommending (without ever trying, of course. These people are affiliates, they say anything for money!) might actually allow the punters to make money.
Specialist Fake Review Sites
As more and more scammer affiliates showed up, all fighting over the several hundred dollar fees that the boiler room scammers were prepared to offer, more and more people realised that there were better ways to make money than just making affiliate links and videos. Companies like Finixio started up fake review sites like coininsider.com and trustpedia.io so as to be able to fill the pages with real stories from journalists to prop up the fake trading platform reviews added by the affiliates. This was a new era. Now there were hundreds of people writing articles for companies that paid them from scammer income whilst they were also writing for legitimate sites.
From Boiler Room to Fake Investments
It was around this time that some of the biggest affiliate review sites began to realise that they could cut out the middle man and connect directly with the clients to defraud them. Companies like Finixio no longer needed an affiliate network for all of the scams. For certain products like Immediate Edge they could just forward the use to a fake trading site on their own servers and simply register as dummy company in Cyprus or the Caribbean that no one would ever be able to trace them through. This was a new era once more, as it ushered in the need to use Cryptocurrency as it was a truly untraceable commodity.
The Crypto Scam Age
Now that they had a completely new avenue of laundered money to exploit, the scammers moved into yet another gear. Suddenly all you needed was a gullible person with a few thousand pounds and you could ensnare them with Google, Facebook or Twitter ads. No one seemed to care. You could show them a screen where they could see people making money, and that would be enough for them to allow you to control their computer long enough to buy crypto with all the money that they had. As soon as you had the crypto, you would generate a trading screen showing this balance as deposited and then make your escape while they started to lose money at every turn on the fake trading platform. They believed they had lost the money to an unregistered broker, whilst in reality it had simply been stolen long ago. The modern Quantum AI scam had finally been perfected!
The Quantum AI Scam
So now we have Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and every other big money celebrity personality being touted as the inventor of this thing, but what does it all mean? Why is it allowed to continue? Why doesn’t Elon or Bill just make an appearance on TV or Forbes magazine and blow the whole thing to bits?
Well that is the question? What is going on? Are FaceBook so dependent on the revenue that there is no going back? Are the shareholders so greedy that hey want money from the poor any-which-way they can? Well I wish I could tell you. It certainly appears that way. The best advice I can give you is to through your TV, internet and radio out of the window and sail into the sunset. It’s tax free if nothing else!
