In the annals of financial fraud, the QBF scam stands as a glaring example of deception and manipulation, leaving thousands of investors devastated. Operating under the guise of multi-jurisdiction regulated entities, NOA Circle played a central role in orchestrating a fraudulent scheme that duped innocent investors. In this exposé, we delve into the intricate workings of the QBF scam, where clients originally signed agreements with seemingly reputable regulated firms, only to fall prey to a sinister plot of revised structures, fake tax advisors, and false investment holdings.



1. Agents Advertising Highly Multi-Jurisdiction Regulated Entities, Operated by QBF and NOA Circle - it was a Scam:

The QBF scam commenced with agents promoting investment opportunities through highly multi-jurisdiction regulated entities. These entities operated under the apparent credibility of NOA Circle, luring unsuspecting investors into their trap. Under the guise of regulatory compliance, clients were initially assured of secure investments with reputable firms.


2. Revised Structures Suggested by Supposed Independent Tax Advisors:

Once clients were convinced and ready to make their investments, the agents presented them with a revised structure, claiming that tax advisors at NOA recommended the use of alternative companies. These entities often bore similar or identical names to the regulated firms but operated in different countries, thus evading regulatory oversight. This ploy left investors' funds unregulated and unsecured by the regulators.


3. Deceptive Tactics: Threats and False Transactions:


  • Under this scheme, when investors expressed concerns and complaints to regulators, QBF distanced itself, denying any association with these third-party entities.


  • Furthermore, QBF resorted to intimidation, threatening investors with allegations of agreeing to invest in an illegal tax avoidance scheme and the possibility of tax investigations should they file a complaint.


  • Meanwhile, NOA Circle facilitated the fraudulent flow of funds through false contracts and fabricated transactions. Investors' money was transferred around in a bid to legitimize it. After deducting a fee, the funds were remitted back to QBF for their construction projects, leaving investors with significant losses and shattered trust.


Fake Investment Holdings and Statements:

To further perpetuate the deception, NOA Circle was responsible for creating fake investment statements sent to customers, falsely showing their investment holdings. These fabricated statements gave the illusion of a secure and thriving investment, leading investors to believe their money was in safe hands.

QBF Scam Uncovered

The investment company QBF was a promising option for investors in Russia. With its Russian sister company Q.Broker LLC, Cypriot Company Constance Investment LTD, QBF promised maximum convenience, reliability, and significant authorized capital of 333 million rubles.

 

However, what was initially a promising investment opportunity for thousands of investors soon became one of Russia's most prominent financial scams. As it turned out, the company did not use the money from investors to buy shares related to IPO options, as they promised. Instead, the funds were invested in development projects of the beneficiary of the group of companies, R.V. Shpakov, and most of the client funds were withdrawn abroad.  

 

The scam was so massive that more than 2,000 investors were affected, with losses estimated at over 7 billion rubles. Despite the enormous scale of the fraud, temporary management was inactive, and no criminal case had been initiated for QBF fraud. In 2021, after the searches in the QBF group of companies, the investment company stopped paying investors the money due to them for all over-the-counter products, citing non-fulfilment of obligations on the part of Q.broker LLC.

 

Beneficiary Shpakov Roman disappeared from customers abroad. The story of QBF has attracted significant media attention in Russia. Forbes published several articles about the case, exposing the secrets of the financial pyramid and questioning the role of the Central Bank in auditing the company.

 

In November 2021, even Anastasia Volochkova, a famous Russian ballerina, became a victim of the financial pyramid, losing millions of rubles invested in QBF. Despite the attention from the media and the efforts of deceived investors to bring those responsible to justice, QBF fraud remains one of the most significant financial scams in Russia's history.

 

The story serves as a cautionary tale for investors to be vigilant and aware of the risks involved in investing their money.
