Full Review of Im>Full Review of Immediate Edge: What Is the Offer and Why It Is Fake
wp-block-paragraph">Cryptocurrency trading can be a highly lucrative business. There are plenty of opportunities to invest if a person is knowledgeable and understands the market.Of course, there are also opportunities for beginners, tips and tricks to help, and advanced technology to work on their behalf. But the problem with said technologies, commonly known as crypto trading bots, is that some people misuse them.
As we will demonstrate in this Immediate Edge review, there are many highly convincing scams around the industry. That is until one digs deeper and it all starts to crumble. We will demonstrate how important it is to do proper research before investing. Let’s begin.
Domain Analysis — A>Domain Analysis — At Least 5 Identified Domains
ck-paragraph">A simple Google search yielded a couple of websites, and another few we found through Trustpilot. So we concluded that there are at least five Immediate Edge websites and we suspect the number is greater.
Shared Design — Immedia>Shared Design — Immediate Profit Connection
2 border-l-4 border-border-300/10 pl-4 text-text-300">The same layout was identified in the Immediate Profit review on ScammerWatch.
The two distinct designs looked familiar, so we checked against other websites. Surprise, surprise, there are other scams under a different name with the same website layout.
This one, for example, looks just like we mentioned in Yuan Pay bot review
And Immediate Bitcoin:
Moreover, there is another design which we have seen before.
On Yuan Pay Group:
And The News Spy:
And Ethereum Code:
And Crypto Trader:
These pictures serve to prove that this is an elaborate scheme by (most likely) a highly-organized group. They prey on innocent people and beginners in the industry to con them out of their money.
Their operation is highly sophisticated focusing on professionally-looking website designs. That is why they have multiple schemes at once. If they don’t trick enough people with one bait, they switch to another (website). Which brings us to the next topic.
Redirect Chain — DocumentedRedirect Chain — Documented
ph">Should a person decide to play the video on one of the Immediate Edge websites, they will be redirected to a completely different one.
It is unwise to leave any information on any of these websites. It is even more so if the website redirects to a third party. This leaves personal information vulnerable and susceptible to misuse and selling.
Platform Claims — Not VerifiedPlatform Claims — Not Verified
These claims could not be independently verified. No audited performance data was found.Everything is free. There isn’t a registration fee, but they charge a 2% commission on all profitable transactions. The first 10 transactions a month are free, but then there is a 1% commission.
And the inconsistencies don’t stop there. It is possible to earn up to 60% of the initial investment. On another, it is 70%. But it’s $800 from the initial $250 within the first 24h.
By the time we got through all of them, we were left wondering what exactly is the Immediate Edge offer?
There Is a Mobile App, There Isn’t a Mobile>There Is a Mobile App, There Isn’t a Mobile App
the websites states that their website has a responsive design, so it is possible to access through a web browser on the mobile phone. On another, there is an app.As this was starting to get too confusing, we headed over to Google Play Store. And we found the Immediate Edge app.
Now, the app itself isn’t so interesting, as is another occurrence. On one of their websites, they proudly proclaim that there are more than 100,000 people signed up and 90% of the accounts are active.
Yet, for such a high number of subscribers, their mobile app is extremely unpopular. Less than 2,000 people have downloaded it. This means that less than 2% of their customers use the mobile version.
In addition, there are no reviews. Not a single user thought to leave a comment, good or bad.
User Testimonials — Not Independently VerifiedUser Testimonials — Not Independently Verified
nds on one of these scheming websites, there are, of course, testimonials from other customers. They are used to convince people that they can profit from the investment.
We investigated the photos and found out that the left and right ones were actually stock photos. They can be downloaded from the following website:
The middle one can be found on many of the fashion online stores, this being just one example:
The same technique is used by a number of other similar scam platforms, we’ve written before:
FCA Alert
The following is a verified regula>FCA Alertthe UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) — an official financial regulator. This is not a ScammerWatch assessment. This is a documented third-party regulatory warning and constitutes the strongest evidence item in this report.
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the legal body that oversees the financial market and issues licenses in the UK. Any financial company registered there must possess the proper authorization by this entity.
FCA has issued an alert regarding this company Immediate Edge, stating that they do not possess the license to operate under UK laws.
This alone is reason enough to stay as far away as possible from Immediate Edge.
Trustpilot Reviews — Issues Identified
Trustpilot Reviews — Issues Identifieddependently verify individual user reports. The following reflects publicly available Trustpilot data at the time of the original investigation.
The last stop on our quest to prove that Immediate Edge is a scam was Trustpilot’s website. They offer other people’s experiences with companies.
The first thing we noticed was that they too have highlighted the alert from FCA regarding this company.
Additionally, another domain used by Immediate Edge has been red-flagged. They have posted fake reviews on Trustpilot, which the website alerts you about.
This would be enough to conclude something isn’t right and decide not to invest with them. But, for the sake of exposing them completely, let’s take a look at some of the comments.
First, we will look at the positive ones. They are fake, and here is why. The number one reason is that they were written on an invitation.
The companies can send a link and invite people to write on Trustpilot, but those types of comments come with a badge to separate them from organically generated posts.
Additionally, almost all of the reviewers have only ever posted once. This may mean that the account was created specifically to praise the company, which makes it a bot account.
Now, let’s examine the negative reviews. People who posted these have multiple reviews, making them more trustworthy.
Similar Trustpilot reviews have several scam crypto bots we have written about:
- The Crypto Genius crypto bot
- 1k Daily Profit scam
- Trade Cannabis Stock robot
- Anon System crypto trading bot
Lastly, we will leave a review from a customer explaining how to research these scams and not fall for them. What they did was very prudent and we feel it demonstrates how easy it is to not get cheated with a bit of investigative work.
