Is AIMS a reliable broker?

In recent days, customer complaints against AIMS have been pouring in, and the platform's customer service has been unresponsive for an extended period. Conflicts between account managers and AIMS have resulted in clients under these account managers being unable to make withdrawals. Even after account managers resign, they are virtually untraceable.

真实案例：

Investor A filed a complaint: "I registered an account with AIMS and after depositing funds, I made a profit of over $1,500. However, this unscrupulous platform deducted $1,620 from my account. Despite persistent efforts to communicate and request a resolution for half a year, there has been no response. Neither the agents nor customer support have replied. Such a platform is incredibly unscrupulous, operating under the guise of a legitimate platform while engaging in activities that are far from reputable, profiting from the hard-earned money of clients. I urge everyone to keep a watchful eye and stay far away from the AIMS platform."

This is not the first instance of AIMS being unable to process withdrawals, leaving batches of users unable to access their funds, with no avenue for resolution. Conversely, when looking at the leadership of these managed fund schemes, they seem to act without accountability, handling investors' funds with impunity.

Investor B's complaint states: "I contacted AIMS through QQ customer service in 2019. Initially, trading and withdrawals proceeded normally. However, after a particular customer service representative left, I submitted a withdrawal request on August 5, 2022, but the platform simply did not process it." Investor B attempted to contact the official website's customer service but received no substantive solutions.

Investor C complained that they had submitted a withdrawal request eight months ago, and the official customer service has been procrastinating. Even the official website has undergone changes.

With so many customers complaining about AIMS, how has the platform addressed these issues? The typical response has been to make "excuses." When withdrawals are delayed, AIMS's customer service attributes the issue to congested third-party payment processors. Is this explanation the whole truth? Alternatively, the platform may claim to be "working on it," but some customers have noticed that the "resolution" results in a change in the official website.

AIMS's questionable practices raise doubts about its status as a compliant broker. On the AIMS official website, it claims to be triple-regulated by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission), LFSA (Labuan Financial Services Authority) in Malaysia, and SERC (Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia). But is this regulation legitimate?

In reality, AIMS is subject to minimal regulatory oversight. Upon verification, it has been found that AIMS operates under a license from ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) for wholesale business only. AURIC INTERNATIONAL MARKETS PTY LTD, AIMS's Australian company, holds this license, which does not cover retail clients.

As for its license from Labuan FSA, it allows currency brokering. However, according to the Labuan (Foreign Exchange) Act 1953, currency brokers in Labuan are not permitted to transact with residents other than authorized dealers.

Moreover, there is no regulatory license information found for AIMS on the SERC (Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia) website.

Additionally, through extensive research, it has been determined that AIMS, along with Topmax, LONG ASIA, AXION TRADE, Business Million Asia (BMA), Vlado, and TradeHall, serves as a tool for creating Ponzi schemes for several managed fund companies, including Value Envision, TradersFlow, Volofinance, and Clark Well Capital.

In conclusion, TraderKnows reminds you that it is crucial to choose a regulated and reputable forex broker that meets your needs. AIMS currently operates with minimal regulatory oversight. When using a platform lacking proper regulation, it is important to stay vigilant and protect your investments.

It is particularly important to exercise caution regarding AIMS, as this platform has recently encountered frequent issues with withdrawals, possibly signaling a potential exit scam. It is strongly recommended that you distance yourself from such platforms to safeguard your investment.
