sbinvestmentfund.co – Scam Misusing the Sterling Bond Fund Name

A "calm" product such as a bond fund raises less suspicion than a promise of high returns. The scheme using the addresses sbinvestmentfund.org and sbinvestmentfund.co made use of exactly this; it reached investors by taking on the name of a real corporate bond fund approved in the UK.
🎭 Whose Fund Name Was Used?
The imitated product is the FCA-approved Sterling Corporate Bond Fund. The clone scheme earlier presented itself as "Sterling Bond Fund" and used a real registration number. The real fund has no connection whatsoever with these websites; the similar name was chosen deliberately to gain trust.
