The fake lender unsed in scam claims to be Al Rigga Investments LLC, but also Vert and Akirov Investments.

The fraudulent domain name vertandakirov.com was created in February 2023 and it was suspended; alriggainvestments.com is recycling the same content, under a different name.

From the fake website:

Al Rigga Investments* provides a range of investment management services to investors globally. By drawing on this strong foundation and global presence, we aim to provide investors with a comprehensive suite of investment strategies and solutions across a range of asset classes and investment styles.
As a global equity manager, Al Rigga Investments’ goal is to deliver strong absolute returns over an investment cycle, creating long-term value for investors through a deep understanding and pricing of risks. Vert and Akirov Investments has more than 260 employees in offices in New York, Baltimore, San Francisco, Wilmington, London, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
As at 31 December 2022, Al Rigga Investments Group manages US$57.3 billion in assets globally.

For investors in Israel, we are the investment manager for a range of global listed infrastructure funds and investment products, each with different characteristics to suit individual investor needs.

Their team:



The "president and chairman" Sheikh Ridwan Gassan uses a stolen picture of a real person having nothing to do with the scam.

The fake lender allegedly located in Qatar and mainly targeting investors in Israel is operated by someone pretending to be in the UK.
