This is a scam!
I registered online for this one evening, thinking I will see how this website looks and if I find it to be a good idea I will invest. For the initial registration it only asks for your name, email and telephone number. As it was not asking for any bank details I was not that alarmed. Once I registered I did not receive any registration confirmation emails or texts. I must say I ignored it.
I then started receiving calls from people stating they work with the company that is aligned with ethereum-vest and they want to help me invest. I had lost interest by this time, especially seeing how the cryptocurrency market has gone downhill and I said "thank you very much, but I am not interested in investing anymore". The person on the other line then became very insistent in a relatively rude and aggressive tone: "then tell me, why did you apply for this to start with?". I was slightly shocked with the tone this conversation took and then became really defensive about me having any interactions with them.
I have had multiple calls from them (different number each time, I keep on blocking them), I must say the callers have no training in sales, as their choice of phrases and their tone if you don't do what they ask you to do would be a red flag for anyone to do any business with them.
I then kept my cool at one of their calls, I started to have a discussion with the person about investing, I managed to get their name and the website of their company (as I had no information sent to me for me to go back and cancel my account). The person fell for it, they gave me the info I requested, they stayed on the line and waited for me to login. Whilst talking to them I started trying to find on the website the option of deactivating/closing my account, this was not an option. I then politely asked "out of interest, if at any point I want to close my account, how do I do this?", the person started asking "why would you want to do that?", reassured me that I could request to withdraw my funds and then all I needed to do is inform my allocated account manager that I wish to close my account. Upon questioning, the person confirmed that they were at the moment the closest I had to an account manager (as I had not fully opened the account yet). I then told them "this is my formal notice to you and your company that I want to close my account, I have no interest in investing. Please follow GDPR regulations and deactivate my account and delete my personal details from your files". Then the caller became rude and aggressive etc. at the end when I started talking about legal action, they just put the phone down on me. This was about 2months ago, I still get about 2-3calls a week, mainly I ignore them as I am at work and can't answer either way. When you try to call back any of the numbers it is a dead line.
I just had another call from them, went through the same, I eventually asked the person on the line if they are aware of GDPR regulations, the person said they did not know what I was talking about, he would decline to listen to what I had to say. At the end again, he put the phone down on me mid sentence. I assume once they have passed a 5min conversation and it does not look like you will invest it is not profitable to keep talking to you, they move on to the next person.
In summary: not to be trusted, definitely a scam, do not give them your real phone number.
