Mobeen Azhar
In his four-part series, journalist Mobeen Azhar finds out how investors lost millions of pounds after getting caught up in forex - foreign exchange - schemes.
In Scam City: Money, Mayhem and Maseratis, Mobeen discovers: investors were added to WhatsApp groups managed by unlicensed and unregulated so-called traders; allegations of investors being told that they couldn t withdraw their cash; and investors - after losing everything - realising that their investments, made through a firm called Infinox registered in the Bahamas, were not subject to UK regulation or the control of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
