ParticipantI just joined another group via a Ticktok link and it’s in the early stages (I.e proze competition, tips of trades etc). It’s so obvious on how it’s going to pan out after watching “Tim and Emily” over the months. It’s like one big script. This group also has a “prof” and an assistant. I’ll sit back and watch this one unfold too. If I can gauge who is actually real in the group I will try to warn them – but clearly there are many “bots” in there too

ParticipantHi Paddy
What is the name of this new group you’ve joined, and how did you join it – Did you receive a whatsapp link invitation, like in the previous scam?

ParticipantYou can make money from these s summers. Their stock tips are usually well researched and very good. Just open an account with a genuine trading platform and buy and sell the stocks they offer. Just don’t send any money to them.

ParticipantNew group is called Pacific Wealth Center M1
New assistant: Halyna
New professors: Michael and Sebastian
New sell: PinnacleFlow AI Trading System
New “company”: Pacific Peak Capital Partners LTD
Halynas telegram: @Halyna6655They have a YT channel with the same AI made type videos as the Tim Wood group.
They want you over on telegram badly this time.
Everything is exactly the same as the last group. The recommendations are worse though.
Emily/Halyna is a Ukranian blonde woman in her late 40’s whom I recorded a video call with when being reassured on my acted “doubt” in the groups legitimacy (i knew from the start and actively sought it out)
Thats all the info I have on the new group they made.

ParticipantThat is the same trap but a different group of assitant/professors.
I believe they are operating many different groups with different names and possibly different “trap apps”
So I would assume its safe to say they are a core group responsible for most of the current whatsapp groups. Dont ever think you’ve found a “safe one” they will all lead you somewhere that is designed to take from you.
There are many popping up all with different names. Be careful people!

GotchaParticipantCheck the out other enquires on Pacific Peak Capatial Partners. It sounds like you exactly the same sort of scam. A PROF Meier and the assistant is Lina Korolenko.
They’ve built up some good profits for The group and hyping their own token PFIT and now its going live Tuesday and some are getting $800 to use for the AI system they are testing.they are suggesting we reduce our stock and go into crypto on their own platform, just in time as the new tarrifs have come in, there must be 100’s of these going on. 🤬12th October 2025 at 9:15 pm #155421bama

ParticipantRed Flags Identified by Participants
Unverifiable Identities: Members have noted that neither “Professor Tim Wood” nor his assistant “Emily Grace Smith” appear to have any verifiable online presence or professional credentials.
Good Money GuideAggressive Recruitment Tactics: Participants have reported persistent attempts by group members to solicit personal information, such as bank details, under the guise of offering analysis or rewards.
Good Money GuideUnrealistic Promises: The group allegedly provides stock tips that seem to yield high returns, which is characteristic of “pump and dump” schemes where stock prices are artificially inflated before being sold off by the scammers.

InactiveIt definitely sounds like a classic setup that has all the hallmarks of a potential investment scam. Groups like the one you describe often appear highly professional and knowledgeable, which is why they can seem convincing. The “perfect timing” recommendations and impressive performance reports are usually designed to build trust and keep members engaged.
The key red flags are the free, high-quality advice from people you don’t know, and the possible push towards a VIP group through links—this is often where the real money or data harvesting happens. Even if the tips seem to work sometimes, it’s rarely sustainable, and it may be part of a “pump-and-dump” or lead-in to paid schemes.
I’d advise staying cautious, never sending money, clicking links, or sharing personal information. Document everything, and consider looking for independent verification of any claims before acting. Trust your instincts—the “too good to be true” feeling is often correct.

ParticipantAbsolutely, your instincts are spot on—staying cautious, verifying independently, and avoiding sharing personal information is the best approach in situations like this.

ParticipantI have been warning participants about Pacific Peak and have found myself being kicked off Whatsapp
18th November 2025 at 10:21 am #156952ConfusedFrog
ParticipantHi,
I’ve been part of the Pacific Peak Capital Partners WhatsApp groupS with:
“Professor Michael Alexander”
“Professor Sebastian Hatherleigh”
and “The assistant – Halyna Ivanivna Melnyk”using these group names:
“PFIT Beta Club 🌍 | Seed” (original group joined through a Facebook ad) which has now 129 members and after each trade I see about 5 people/bots posting screenshots of their profits.
“PFIT Beta Foundation Member Strategy Circle 💎 A8” which is just a channel for the assistant to post updates in and locked to admin only.I just scrolled to the very top of the WhatsApp chat to check when I joined and see the group was created 11th May 2025 and I joined it a few months later. I just watched for a few weeks to see how things were suspecting surely a group like this wouldn’t provide info for free. They were mainly just talking about recommended stock trades, posting “classes” each evening with quizzes to win prizes.
I then joined some of the stock trades using well known reliable platforms and mades some money.
Then I joined the 2nd round of their Beta test for the AI platform which required downloading an app called NDAE Pro. The first round they gave participants $800 and let them keep the profits and for the 2nd round $1500 and to keep the profits again. I also won some PFIT and SOL prizes from their weekly quizzes which were deposited into my NDAE account with them.
Everything still seems fine at this point, I’ve made money and given them nothing. I kept the PFIT and have seen it double in value (if there really is any and they don’t just control what we see there too). They are recommending everyone to buy PFIT during these last few weeks. I didn’t buy any except with the free money gained from the 2nd round beta test I did for them.
After the beta tests had finished, “management” had a meeting based on all our feedback that we’d happily pay them to continue using this platform if we could LOL and they decided that there will be a 3 month period (still ongoing with 73 days left) where they will still provide daily contract trades for everyone to try and earn as much as possible to buy in to their AI system for $89,500 a year OR $8950 just for us testers but we would then pay 20% off each profitable trade we make. To continue to remain in the group for these 3 months we have to deposit 1000 and hold 1000 PFIT.
I did deposit some money because I wanted the extra trades and I’m still at this point at a 100% success rate with every trade that happens on their platform. I’m only making $70-150 on average but I did get an extra VIP trade one time sent by the assistant as “a gift” and got $400. The screenshots I see most people/bots post show them making thousands or hundreds of thousands using 100x or 200x instead of the 50x I’m using as leverage.
They created VIP levels for depositing 10k,100k,1M (if anyone really is depositing that much lol). Being in a VIP group will get you an extra trade each day sent to you.
I don’t have enough to deposit another £5000 to get to a VIP level and I’m not going to do anything stupid like borrow money to do so either. I’ve actually seen the professor strictly say not to do this as he said one member has been removed for suggesting they were going to go and take a loan out to deposit more into PFIT.
I actually withdrew everything yesterday to make sure I actually can. Sold all the PFIT and SOL and I had to transfer USDC to ETH, then withdraw it to my own wallet then send to Coinbase and sell the ETH. I am up, but not as much as it felt like I was, but this could be because ETH has dropped a lot recently.
I’m not going to redeposit the money to go back to their daily trades because it is sus and I’m happy with the bit of profit I’ve made and I bet the endgame is going to happen before the 73 days are up.
Also, since the beta rounds finished, there’s been no recommendations for stocks like there was at the beginning (they say the stock market isn’t the best area to invest in at the moment but still recommended 20% of your wealth be in stocks and the rest in crypto and gold).
There’s also not been as many of the quizzes to win prizes anymore, so no more free money handouts. They posted 2 quizzes again in the last week but haven’t given out any prizes to me or anyone that I’ve seen. Also there was one point where someone won 0.5 BTC which was probably a bot because I’ve seen that happened in one of the other groups posted on this forum too.
As I said, there’s currently 73 days left and they’ve now done a vote in the last couple of days to see how profits from the fees the company makes should be allocated and apparently over 89% voted for PFIT tokens to be distributed proportionally as a dividend, depending how many PFIT you hold, with only those holding a massive amount to get a dividend every quarter. I obviously voted for the dividend to be payed equally to everyone no matter how much PFIT you hold, as I didn’t have much lol but its just another way to drive up PFIT sales to anyone in the group who has a LOT of money. They are the real VIP targets.
I’m still in the group and have stopped responding to Halyna and she hasn’t said anything about my withdrawal yet so don’t know if she can actually check and see that I’ve done that. I may reply saying I’m just really busy ATM or have stuff going on I can’t talk about so I can try to watch the group a bit longer and see if any prizes for quizzes do get handed out again.
I’m going to post this over in the specific thread about this group too, just wanted to post it here too as it’s all very similar.
Also, can anyone share any screenshots of the app you had to download so I can see if it looks exactly the same as the NDAE Pro one I had to download?
