Thousands of French Investors Lose Millions in Global OmegaPro Ponzi Scheme

Thousands of French citizens have been defrauded by OmegaPro, a global Ponzi scheme that promised investors a threefold return on their money within 16 months. The scheme, which operated between 2018 and 2022, lured individuals with the prospect of a better life and significant wealth, ultimately leading to devastating financial losses for many.

One victim, a Franco-Brazilian man named Marc, described his experience after losing 250,000 euros. He has meticulously collected evidence against the scheme's co-founders, Robert Velghe, Dilawar Singh, Andreas Szakacs, and Mike Sims, displaying photos and documents in his home. Marc, who has struggled with depression following the scam, has created displays featuring the OmegaPro logo crossed out, symbolizing the betrayal he and millions of others worldwide experienced.

The scheme's reach extended to at least 40 countries, impacting millions of people. In France alone, a significant number of individuals were financially ruined. The article highlights the deceptive tactics used, including promises of high returns through an online investment platform, which ultimately proved to be fraudulent.

This investigation into OmegaPro is part of a broader series by Le Figaro, titled "OMEGAPRO, UNE ESCROQUERIE MONDIALE" (OmegaPro, A Global Scam). The series aims to shed light on the extent of the fraud and the impact on victims. Related reports indicate that fraudulent platforms have also impersonated major French media outlets, such as Le Figaro, Le Monde, Franceinfo, and TF1, to attract unsuspecting investors to scams like BitKeltTrade.
