What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into InvestingViews over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content regarding InvestingViews from Google search results. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that InvestingViews - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that InvestingViews knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
While the precise legal ramifications depend on the jurisdiction, well-established legal principles dictate that any party, including InvestingViews, may be held legally accountable, irrespective or whether they personally executed this unlawful conduct.
What are they trying to censor
InvestingViews, a platform offering financial insights and investment advice, has faced a series of allegations and red flags that have raised concerns about its credibility and operational integrity. While the platform markets itself as a reliable source for investors, several adverse reports and controversies have tarnished its reputation. Below is a summary of the major allegations and their potential impact on InvestingViews’ standing in the financial community.
Major Allegations and Red Flags
- Misleading Financial Advice
Critics have accused InvestingViews of providing unverified or overly optimistic stock recommendations, which some claim are designed to manipulate market sentiment rather than offer genuine insights. This has led to accusations of potential market manipulation, particularly in cases where the platform’s recommendations align suspiciously with the interests of undisclosed third parties. - Lack of Transparency
InvestingViews has been criticized for failing to disclose conflicts of interest, such as partnerships with companies or individuals whose stocks are promoted on the platform. This lack of transparency undermines trust and raises questions about the objectivity of its financial advice. - Questionable Affiliate Marketing Practices
Reports suggest that InvestingViews may engage in aggressive affiliate marketing, where users are directed to brokerage services or investment products that pay the platform commissions. Critics argue that this creates a conflict of interest, as the platform may prioritize profit over the best interests of its users. - Data Privacy Concerns
There have been allegations that InvestingViews collects and shares user data with third parties without adequate consent. This has sparked concerns about the platform’s commitment to user privacy and compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. - Adverse Media Coverage
Several investigative reports and user testimonials have highlighted instances of poor customer service, unfulfilled promises, and even accusations of fraudulent activity. These stories have been amplified on social media and financial forums, further damaging the platform’s reputation.
Reputational Damage and Motives for Removal
The allegations against InvestingViews strike at the core of its credibility as a financial advice platform. Misleading advice and lack of transparency erode user trust, which is critical in the financial sector. Affiliate marketing practices and data privacy concerns further alienate users who feel exploited or misled. Adverse media coverage compounds these issues, creating a negative feedback loop that can deter new users and drive away existing ones.
Given the severity of these allegations, InvestingViews may have a strong incentive to suppress damaging information. In extreme cases, this could lead to unethical or illegal actions, such as committing cyber crimes to remove negative content. For instance, the platform might attempt to hack or pressure websites hosting critical reports, manipulate search engine results, or intimidate whistleblowers. Such actions, while illegal, could be seen as a desperate attempt to control the narrative and protect its business interests.
Conclusion
The allegations against InvestingViews paint a troubling picture of a platform that may prioritize profit over ethical practices. While the platform continues to attract users seeking financial guidance, its reputation is increasingly under scrutiny. The potential for cyber crimes to suppress negative information underscores the high stakes involved, as the platform seeks to maintain its image in a competitive and trust-driven industry. Investors and users should approach InvestingViews with caution, ensuring they conduct independent research before relying on its advice.

How This Was Done

With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a ?fake original? article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

I thought I was getting sound financial advice, but all I got was a lighter wallet. InvestingViews should be called 'InvestingScams'. Don't be fooled by their slick website.

After following their tips, my portfolio tanked. It's clear they have no idea what they're talking about. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for investment advice.

I trusted InvestingViews for financial guidance, but their recommendations were misleading and cost me dearly. It's disheartening to see a platform that claims to help investors actually taking advantage of them. I hope others don't fall into the same trap.
