What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into IPO Capital 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 from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that IPO Capital - 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 the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
The case of IPO Capital truly stands out. This company has been flagged as a scam, with reports detailing deceptive practices that have ensnared unsuspecting investors.
The Deceptive Practices of IPO Capital
Investors have reported that IPO Capital lures individuals with promises of “scholarship” opportunities, only to entangle them in a web of deceit. The process involves transferring funds through legitimate crypto exchanges to add a veneer of credibility. However, once the funds are in IPO Capital’s control, investors face obstacles when attempting to withdraw, including demands for sensitive personal information. This modus operandi is a classic hallmark of fraudulent operations.
Identifying Red Flags in IPOs
The tactics employed by IPO Capital underscore the importance of vigilance when evaluating investment opportunities. Key warning signs include:
- Lack of Transparency: Legitimate companies provide clear and comprehensive information about their operations. Opaque processes and vague explanations are cause for concern.
- Unrealistic Promises: Offers that seem too good to be true, such as guaranteed high returns with minimal risk, often are. Skepticism is warranted in such scenarios.
- Pressure Tactics: Scammers often create a sense of urgency to push individuals into making hasty decisions without adequate due diligence.
The Role of Authorities and the Need for Action
The persistence of entities like IPO Capital highlights the necessity for regulatory bodies to intensify their efforts in monitoring and shutting down fraudulent schemes. Investor education is paramount; individuals must be equipped with the knowledge to discern legitimate opportunities from scams.
Conclusion
The case of IPO Capital serves as a stark reminder of the perils lurking in the investment landscape. It is imperative for potential investors to conduct thorough research, remain vigilant for red flags, and approach opportunities with a healthy dose of skepticism. Regulatory authorities must also play a proactive role in safeguarding the public from such predatory schemes.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. 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
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
