Oak View Financial Management 

They are scammers. I stupidly invested £3.5K with these shysters and watched them set me up for failure. I have photo evidence of the stages I went through. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.

Fake company, fake website, cant withdraw at all.

Do NOT invest please. BEWARE!!! SCAMMERS!!! I could not find Thomas _____ the "Broker" on any networking/social platform like LinkedIn. They are NOT regulated in the UK. They say they are regulated in Switzerland but they are NOT registered and are listed on the FINMA Warning List. Read the other 1 star reviews too. They tried to get personal details: bank details, bank statement, address, phone number, passport copy; they got my family member to open new money/banking accounts & download apps on their phones like ANYDESK, Coinsdrom, XE.com, Revolut, FirstDirect, 'Trading Platform' which leads to the OVF-Management fake trading website. They tried to use AnyDesk app to infiltrate the phone, that means they could steal bank details and other sensitive information details like log-ins and One Time Pass Codes, control the camera and microphone too. Using an app like AnyDesk, they could literally control client phones, see client screens, video cameras and microphones. They convinced client to invest initial amount of money and then they said client needs to invest MORE money in order to make money, in order to verify client identity, to verify client account, in order to not miss out on investment opportunities and tell clients to send it to accounts they specify and if client does it "wrong", they warn that client will incur fees to "re-transfer". So, they entice clients to be part of something, that they will gain something, then they scare client, all in subtle language. They used 'Swap Bridge' and luckily the bank blocked the larger transaction from going through.
Be careful if they tell you what to tell the bank in order to try to action the money transfers.They tried to get client to open money-transfer and other accounts to transfer their money out of their bank accounts to those aiming to find easier less secure routes of money transfer. They are holding conversations on unsolicited voice chats where users are not verified like Signal. So client could very easily be talking to a fake identity.
They will be very regular in the chat which also plays on human client need for connection. Using their fake website they convince investors that their money has doubled/tripled/quadrupled/...800+% in 6 months. They also target vulnerable people, old people, anyone who does not have experience in these matters. Other reviewers here have reported them and say that OVF-Management is under investigation.

** DO NOT TRUST ANY REPRESENTATIVE FROM THIS FAKE SCAM CO **

I invested and was introduced to a scam artist Seth Kamens - who will introduce himself as a broker. He may change his name but he can’t change his accent, an American speaking SoB.

This company is not registered in Switzerland, the trading app they use is fake !! - they will convince you that you are trading but you’re not !!

They will request more money but the money is not paid into the company account but various banks in Europe.

The positive reviews are all fake and lack detail !!.

If this American speaking SOB or any other representative contacts you do not give them any money. Instead report to the authorities !!.

Currently owe me 500 dollars and won’t pay stay away!!

I have been trying to release funds from my investment account since October and to date have not been able to do this, causing extreme anxiety and my having to borrow money from family members when I have plenty of money in my bond.

The customer service is non existent, lots of promises but no actual action. And as a company they take hefty service charges and fees from my investments with the promise of providing me with financial advice and a management service.

Please do not invest your hard earned money with this company, you will just tie your money up without being able to access it, and experience very poor communication with them.

They are employing delay tactics, among other things. The company is in breach of contract under Section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and has also violated its duty of care. As business professionals, their actions have caused me harm. Due to this, I have had to consult Chasunah Ltd further investigate my injury. Legal action is pending to recover the owed funds from this unscrupulous company.

Registered with OVF and paid £250 registration which was really the main catch. Anyway my account manager Freya Vogal ( real name?) was very friendly and seemed to know her stuff. My trading portfolio was slowly growing as she was placing the trades for me.
I mean when you log on and see your trading account, it all seemed legit and in a way builds your confidence in your account manager, however it’s important to note that you cannot withdraw the money at all, you don’t have control over your account. She then suggested I put more in. So I did put X amount in and watched my account grow. Freya would call me every second day to update and 2 weeks later she sent me an invoice showing my profits which was impressively high. However because it was over 50k she said that they needed 25k something to do with capital gains and that it would be put back into my account with the full withdrawal. Foolish me did it again and sent her it and it was finally withdrawal time yippee (Not). She was on the phone with me instructing me what to press , so go back into my portfolio, click on the wallet icon and choose crypto as form of withdrawal. Then got transferred to their financial department to complete the transfer. Was told to wait at least an hour and then we’ll be able to transfer the lot into my bank account. However within minutes I got an email from Blockchain Main asking for $20k as proof of wealth and that it would be returned to me with the rest of my withdrawal. Called Freya and told her that is Bs and she convinced me that it’s the normal process. pissed off I then contacted Blockchain support team and they confirmed that they did not send me that email and that it’s a scam mail. Freya continued to explain away another lie saying that it’s the exchanger and their clients normally have their 20k blockchain money. She then ghosted me, stopped answering her signal messages. I called my banks up and told them the whole story and sent them screenshots of all communication and transactions as they needed it to investigate the fraud. Also called Action fraud who is also investigating. Just to note , on their website their address isn’t real, a family member of mine who lives close visited the building address and was told that it doesn’t exist, not even a mailbox. Last week got an email from their bank asking me to retract the recall from my bank, 🤔 why would I do that. Freya called me and said that her financial department want to resolve the issue. Their lawyer a Robert Grey called me and came up with some Bs about a fake Blockchain scamming their clients as well and that they can send me my money via bank transfer only if I retract the recall from my banks. So he added me on signal so we can communicate. I decided to play along and said yes I contacted my bank and that they wanted to speak to him for clarification. He refused and said he can’t speak to them, Major red flag there, he said I need to act fast and tell the bank that I made a mistake and to cancel the recall. I then pointed out to him that Freya mentioned that their clients had their blockchain money handy for withdrawals which didn’t make any sense at all . So right now waiting for my bank to sort this mess. This lot needs shutting down , lowest scum of the earth.
Just an update, received an email from Trustpilot on behalf of OFV management asking me for more information as to better understand my experience LOL it’s all here in this review .

I trusted OVF Management in Switzerland (although now I'm not even sure of that) because of their high Trustpilot rating, but my experience has been a nightmare. Apparently they trade on the Swiss Market as a part of Mehara Group Sirl registered in Switzerland.
Starting trading on their platform was easy and friendly. After a while they kept asking for more and more investments, always giving reason for that. In total, I sent them over £15,000, and they kept pressuring me to deposit even more money.
When I finally refused and made a complain, as I also felt bullied by their manager Seth, they suddenly told me I needed to close my account for apparently some issues with it, and withdraw my funds. This was unexpected, and I didn’t understand why they were insisting on a withdrawal. It became clear they wanted me to proceed so they could execute their scam.

When I attempted to withdraw over $60,000 in Bitcoin, they falsely claimed that I had initiated the withdrawal myself and they did not know what happened with my money! No even trace or any transaction ID, even if I asked them to provide me with those details.
Also, when I checked the blockchain and BT register, there was NO transaction—my money was never sent to me. It's as if it simply disappeared into thin air.

When I questioned them, their "manager" Mark Schmidt (I had a different one before called Seth Kamen's) gave excuses about a "decentralised process" preventing the transaction from being visible. This is a lie—all real Bitcoin transactions have a TXID.

Then, I received a fraudulent email from a fake "blockchain" address, claiming that my funds were frozen due to "money laundering concerns" and demanding another high payment to release them, apparently to 'prof my wealth'. This is a classic scam tactic to steal even more money which I have learned about only recently.

I have been in direct contact with FINMA (Switzerland’s financial regulator), and they have confirmed that OVF Services as well as Mehara Group Sàrl are not legally authorised to provide any financial services in Switzerland. This confirms that the company is operating fraudulently. I only regret I wasn't in touch with FINMA earlier.

Additonally, I've checked their Zurich address they provide at the bottom of the website. There are plenty of businesses registered at that place, but not Oak View Management.

I have now reported OVF to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau and received a crime number.
If you are considering investing with them, just STAY AWAY! Their Trustpilot rating is misleading, and I believe they manipulate reviews to hide real fraud cases.

Do NOT trust them. Do NOT send them any money. If you have already invested, try to withdraw immediately and report them if you face any issues.

If anyone knows how to recover funds in such case please let me know.

invested a small amount (£200) to see if the company was legit, have since decided that since the company control any withdrawal of your own money that I would not continue to trade and not invest any more money.
They have basically ignored / refused to process my request to withdraw my money and no longer respond to my messages on signal (chat app - they wanted to use)

I had a review earlier but they said if I take it down they would give me my money back ? More fool me i will start again from the beginning first off after paying my entry fee $250 I was assigned to my first scammer Mark Schmidt I will just cut to the chase rather than going into details he asked me to up my investment to another £1000 to make more money anyway I paid him £996.52 he said he would change it i to dollars after filling a dodgy form in he said it would be done next day, then he said it was now showing in my trade account but next day I received a mail from Bintense saying I had successfully changed my currency into bitcoin I thought how the hell could this money be showing in the toy town account if Schmidt had changed it to crypto and stole it i lost my rag with Schmidt so the next day entered the scam queen a Fiona (Freya Vogal) and it didn't take long to see how good a theif and scammer she was she told me they would probably sack Schmidt anyway carried on with her for a few days the she hit me with the need to increase my investment but she didn't mess about she asked for £20,000 I told her she must be joking I don't have that amount of money so she suggested a bank loan again i told her I would not do that she got annoyed said I could close my account and withdraw my money, anyway after weeks of trying to get my money back she told me if I took my trustpilot review down they would refund my money I agreed but she said it would have to be by crypto they wouldn't do a bank transfer I agreed she told me wereto down load my wallet then they said they would send the money via crypto but when they sent it it just kept showing pending this is were the scam queen really showed her colours I got a message saying my crypto amount was suspicious and I would have to put 0.04470 crypto into another wallet to prove the transfer was genuine I refused to put £4000 into it so you see it was another scam I change £4000 to crypto put it in this wallet and Fiona would be away with it so she never got anymore of my money back or my original money beware of this company of robbers and you will find any positive threads posted are almost certainly done by themselves :-Tuesday 18th March I can confirm everything I have put in this report is genuine these robbers took over £8000 from me they are the lowest scum on earth, they offered to give me my money back if I removed my post like a fool I did low and behold they tried to scam me again, said they would transfer my money over £8000 by crypto I've never used crypto before they told me to get a crypto wallet so they could transfer the money to it, I did it but I got a message saying such a large amount was suspicious and to prove it was genuine I would have to get another wallet and put £4000 of my own money changed to crypto init I told them there was no way I was doing that and given Fiona more of my money,I spoke to a person that knows about these scams he told me i would put the money in this other wallet and give them the key they would then put all the money into one wallet of there choosing and make off with all of it I know now that I will never get my money back off these thieves but if this warning stops others getting robbed by this low life company I'll be happy just thought has anyone noticed the so-called good reviews are never verified they are mostly two lines of text ALL FAKE keep away from this

Good money management! Good profit!

Worst company do not invest with I initially invested £250 and then they continue to ask for more I did invest another £500 and trades was doing well or so it seemed and then constantly asking for more money when I told them I couldn’t afford more they asked me to take a loan or borrow from friend when I said I couldn’t do that they then did a trade that lost all my money on purpose completely awful company to deal with not to mention being shouted at on the phone for not being able to afford to put more money in AVOID AVOID AVOID

Fake good reviews here.
Once an account is open there is no way to close it. Your bank details & ID remain. Fake trading website. No withdrawals allowed. Scary to think what your personal information could be used for

Be very careful of this OVF management company. They ask u to invest £250.Show u how much money u making in a week £50 + from investing in stocks and shares....Then they come for the kill ....Several phone calls everyday demanding I increase my funding to £5000.00 .to buy more so called investments .Doing my research I will never see my money again .Scammers based in Switzerland. Take this review seriously or you could lose all your money.

This scam presents itself as a legitimate investment service, offering trading support for stock market investments.The scammers use a company called Mehara Group Sarl's registration on Zefix and references to Swiss bank accounts to appear credible. They are NOT however regulated by FINMA, the Swiss financial regulator. All appears well as you see your balance grow and the broker will then encourage you to invest more to maximise the possible returns. Things start to go awry however when you try to make any withdrawals and I have now spent the last 3 weeks seeking a return of my balance to no avail.

I used to invest with my bank manager for the past 15 years and this was the first time I've tried something new. And you know what I am no longer investing with my bank at, the results this guys show me in 2 months was BETTER than with my bank over the last 15 years, what a ridiculous truth about them! I will recommend them for everybody who wants to finally reach the financial freedom.

This is a scam and run by scammers.

Account is working good, withdrawals through cryptocurrency is the best option as not so time-consuming as ordinary wires. Recommendation for newcomers - ask your manager to set up a crypto wallet straight away and teach you how to use it. It's a game changer to take your profits out of trading account through crypto.

The fastest way to make a fortune! I recommend it!

I enrolled in the OVF investment scheme based on their advertisement,which stated that an initial investment of $250 was required. However since I joined my experience has been nothing but stressful, the representatives acting in OVF instructions, have repeatedly pressured me to add more funds . When I explained that I couldn’t afford it, they suggested I borrow money or take a loan. I initially thought it would be an easy scheme and if lucky make few pennies. Despite my personal circumstances that I shared with them at the beginning, they have used this information used it against me to pressure me further. I have sent a formal complaint, which was ignored , I followed up with another email to request to close my account and refund my money . No response, cannot talk to anyone. This has been a very poor and stressful experience. I feel mislead, patronised and manipulated. Just want my account closed and my money back , keep any surplus amounts. Toni Dimkoski
