de-capitalus.com Scam: Clone Site Imitating HMC Capital

de-capitalus.com has been entered in ASIC records as an investment site imitating HMC Capital, a genuine listed asset management group in Australia. The name HMC does not appear in the domain at all; the imitation comes from the site presenting itself as HMC Capital Investments Limited.

🔍 The ASIC Entry and the Domain

• Warning: a record originating from ASIC (Australia) was entered in the I-SCAN system on 13 November 2026 with the "clone" label.
• Domain: de-capitalus.com was registered on 10 June 2026.
• Türkiye: The site does not appear on the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions.

🏢 Relationship with the Real HMC Capital

The real HMC Capital has no connection with this site and has no legal entity in Türkiye. The company has announced that fake investment offers are being made in its name by phone and email, and has stated that its official emails carry only the @hmccapital.com.au extension.

🚩 How Is Money Collected on Clone Sites?

In schemes of this kind, a person calling as an "investment specialist" shares the title of the real company and documents resembling its corporate papers. Payment is requested into accounts belonging to third parties, not the company; profits are shown on the dashboard, and new fees appear when a withdrawal is requested. This scheme is explained in detail in our article on clone sites of brokerage firms and banks.

🧭 The Legal Process for Victims

Acts carried out through tools such as a website and the telephone are treated under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code as qualified fraud in which computer systems are used as a tool. For the accounts to which the money was transferred, the conditions for a precautionary attachment (freezing order)TR are important.
