I have reported to the FCA, regarding Stonewall Capital. And the reply is as follows:
Dear Edy Putranto,
Thank you for contacting the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Summary of your query
You’ve reported engaging with an online platform operating as an investment firm called “Stonewall Capital.” After depositing funds, you encountered issues with withdrawals and non-responsiveness. You suspect the platform may be fraudulent and are seeking guidance on your next steps and potential recovery options.
Our response
I have searched the FCA’s Financial Services Register and can confirm that Stonewall Capital is not authorised or regulated by the FCA.
I have also searched our register and can see that Blockchain Technology is also not authorised or regulate by us.
Based on the information provided, this appears to be a scam. I am going to encourage that you do not have any further dealings with the firms - you have paid a fee towards Blockchain and invested with Stonewell Capital, you may wish to speak with your bank for any further guidance using the details on the back of your card or your secured online banking.
As part of your next steps, we strongly recommend that you:
After initial scams, fraudsters often follow up posing as lawyers, regulators, or claims agents offering to help you recover lost funds often for an upfront fee. These are known as recovery room scams, and they are unfortunately common. We also recommend reviewing our ScamSmart page, which provides tools and guidance to help you spot and avoid investment scams.
