how many times have we heard stories about scams that target unsuspecting individuals? Well, I recently came across one such story- the MKC scam.
The MKC scam revolves around the promise of guaranteed returns on investments in a company known as Miasol Financial Solutions. This company was founded by two brothers, John and Mark.
The brothers marketed their product on the promise of guaranteed returns of 15 percent or more on investments and money. Victims were targeted mainly through social media, and those who agreed to invest were duped out of their hard-earned money. The brothers promised returns of up to 500 percent of the original investment, under the false assurance that the returns were insured.
Sadly, this scam left many people bankrupt and heartbroken. Eventually, John and Mark were discovered and arrested on charges of fraud and deception.
The unborn baby of one of the victims was said to have died in a uterus due to the physical and mental stress the unfortunate woman suffered due to the scam.
This is a stark reminder that scamming and fraud are serious crimes that can have an adverse, and even fatal, effect on the victims and their families. There are many ways to protect yourself from fraudsters, such as never giving out personal information online, double-checking the information of anyone or anything you are investing in, and never trusting a guarantee of returns.
In light of this, it is important to be aware of scammers who promise guaranteed returns on investments- and to keep in mind that some things are just too good to be true.
