Immediate Connect Scam: Celebrity-Ad Crypto Robot and Forex

Immediate Connect is a referral network promoted as an "automatic earning robot" on fake news pages decorated with photographs of celebrities, passing those who fill in the form on to unlicensed forex and crypto platforms. France's market authority, the AMF, has issued repeated warnings about this network and made a joint statement with the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office in November 2023.

🚩 From Advert to "Tax" Demand: Four Steps

1. On social media, in fake articles imitating major newspapers, a television presenter, athlete or businessperson is said to have "made their fortune with this robot".
2. A short form is filled in; shortly afterwards someone introducing themselves as an adviser calls and has an account opened on an unlicensed platform.
3. The profit the "robot" earns on the panel grows quickly and a larger investment is requested.
4. At the withdrawal request, payment of a "capital gains tax" is first made a condition; at a later stage a new team reaches the same victim with an offer to help get the funds released.

🔍 Immediate Connect Clone Domains

The network does not stay on a single site; among the clone addresses the AMF has added to its blacklist are immediate-genesis.com, immediate-momentum.com, immediate-peak.com, immediate-avage.co, immediatebitwave.com, immediateeuraxai.org, immediategranimator.ai, immediatneupro.ai and graminator.net. New names starting with "Immediate" keep being opened.

None of these names is on the SPK list of authorised institutions. Unauthorised investment referrals through social media are among the activities expressly warned about in SPK Decision No. 5/173 of 03.02.2017.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

We have previously covered the branches of the "Immediate" family that open under different names, as well as schemes using the same robot promise. Immediate Connect should be seen as a separate branch from the brands below:

🧭 The Legal Process for Victims

1. The route a victim follows depends on whether the payment was made by card, bank transfer or crypto.
2. The adverts using a celebrity's name and the numbers that called are the main evidence of the criminal complaint process.
3. Once the suspects are identified, the case moves from investigation to indictmentTR.
