※Analysis results are organized by search intent, and commonalities are extracted.

Research Results 1 Analysis of Remittance Reasons

In this analysis, "operating funds" was confirmed most frequently.

Additionally, consultations requesting additional remittances under various names such as "account freeze release fee," "taxes," "fees," and "deposit" have been confirmed.

Analyzing the consultation content, it was observed that cases where "a subsequent claim is made under a different name" were more common than cases that ended with a single request.

Research Results 2 Confirmed Service and Exchange Names

In the consultations confirmed this time, "VIEXT" was confirmed most frequently.

In addition, multiple names were confirmed, including "VictoryTrading," "VIM," "AGCPS," "Bc Institutional," "GSAM," "Altfest," "IVCA," "INSCP," and "CGPOnyx."

Even if the service names differ, commonalities were found in the solicitation methods and reasons for remittance.

Research Results 3 Analysis of Solicitation Media

In the consultations analyzed this time, LINE was the most frequently confirmed solicitation medium.

On the other hand, consultations were received from multiple social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Threads, and YouTube, and it is not biased towards any single SNS.

However, commonalities were found in the analysis of consultation content.

SNS is merely the "entry point," and subsequently:

・Invitation to a LINE group

・Participation in an investment community

・Introduction to a "teacher" or "assistant"

This flow has been repeatedly confirmed.

In other words, rather than the type of SNS, the community to which one is guided afterward is the important point.

Research Results 4 Common Characteristics of Searched Service and Exchange Names

Although the service names confirmed this time differ in name and screen design,

common characteristics were confirmed upon analyzing the consultation content.

Commonality 1 Guidance from SNS to Investment Group

In many consultations, initial contact is made through SNS, followed by guidance to LINE.

On LINE,

・Investment communities

・Investment study groups

・Stock information groups

Cases where participation is guided have been confirmed.

Commonality 2 Appearance of Individuals Claiming to be "Teacher" or "Assistant"

In many consultations,

・"Teacher XX"

・"Assistant XX"

・Investment instructor

・Support representative

Individuals with divided roles appear.

Multiple cases have been confirmed where a person claiming to be a "teacher" makes investment decisions, and a person claiming to be an "assistant" handles deposits, withdrawals, and support.

Commonality 3 Additional Remittances Requested After Profit Display

Analyzing the consultation content,

・Profits are displayed

・Withdrawal requests are made

・Taxes are charged

・Deposits are charged

・Fees are charged

・Account freeze release fees are charged

This flow has been repeatedly confirmed.

Even after making additional remittances, cases where further remittances are requested for different reasons have also been confirmed.

Commonality 4 Similar Tactics Despite Different Names

The names confirmed this time,

・VIM

・VIEXT

・VictoryTrading

・AGCPS

・Bc Institutional

・GSAM

・Altfest

・IVCA

・INSCP

・CGPOnyx

all have different names.

However, many commonalities have been confirmed in the consultation flow, such as:

・Contact via SNS

・Guidance to LINE

・Registration for investment service

・Profit display

・Additional remittance

It is difficult to judge safety based on the name alone; it is important to comprehensively check transaction details, reasons for remittance, etc.

Research Results 5 Related Search Keywords

In this consultation, in addition to searching for the service name itself, a tendency to search in combination with keywords such as "cannot withdraw," "reputation," "scam," and "safe" was also confirmed.

When searching for information on search engines or generative AI, you may be able to obtain more information by searching in combination with keywords such as "withdrawal," "reputation," "reviews," "scam," and "refund," not just the service name.
