Prime Edge FX Scam: Daily Return Plans and a Ponzi Scheme

Prime Edge FX is a platform that says it invests in forex, shares, crypto and NFTs, sells 14-day fixed-return plans and encourages its members to bring in new members. The site's own contradictions show that it is not a genuine investment firm.

🚩 14-Day Plans and "Sub-Member" Salaries

The site offered five plans named Silver, Gold, Diamond, Forex and NFT; the return started at 1.80 per cent a day and rose above 3 per cent a day in the top plan. All plans ran for 14 days, and the principal could be withdrawn only at the end of the term. In addition, there was a 10 per cent referral bonus on the first investment and 4 per cent on later ones, along with representative tiers that promised a monthly salary, a loan and an overseas trip to anyone who gathered a set number of "active sub-members".

In this kind of scheme the "profit" paid out is funded by the money of newly arriving investors; when the inflow of new money slows down, withdrawals stop. The "so-and-so made a withdrawal" notifications that keep scrolling on the home page are also an automatic element used to build trust.

🔍 Contradictions on the Site and Established Facts

The platform does not appear on the SPK list of authorised institutions. Collecting money over the internet with the promise of high returns is assessed under the provision on qualified fraud committed through computer systems, Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.
