Hello dear colleagues,

Can somebody recommend the entity in subject for transactions? They have unusual feature: the Beneficiary shall pay in cash in advance for the transfer. The practice of crediting the Client's account is unknown to them.

Scam? Mar 28

Did you perform a job for somebody else, and now he/she/they want to pay you using that entity? It sounds like a renowned scam. Be careful.

Thx Jorge, 0 reviews on your link, so no negative feedback. Still not sure if there are new practices in the new reality

site looks fishy Mar 28

No FAQs, Privacy Policy or other information on how the platform works. "We are now one of the largest digital banking providers" - LOL.
On their Facebook profile they state they are based in Estonia (rather likely their real location), on the website it reads they are in the US.
Looks rather like a way to elude sanctions/blocks.
Anyway, if you should pay in order to get paid, run for the hills.

Read what Anastassia Lapardina has to say in the section "Consumer reviews about lumotrust.com".

"They slowly suck in your money under the 'legitimate' claims, like, 'taxes' or so. More and more 'codes' you'll 'have to pay for' while 'trusting the process'.
Eventually if you refuse to immediately do what they are guiding you to - your 'account' in their network would become 'dormant' (well, you lose money anyway though). Fraudulence that is."

Wow Mar 28

Wow Jorge, I didn't see that. That was the starting point, a bit emotional though.
I think the company's operation is not smooth, though the final judgement is yet to come
