NOTE: (we could look at this as an Ponzie Site also, the money launders/investors create their own members using bogus names add investments under that name so other victims will become a member and invest money, once the money runs out, site closes, victims loose the invested money.
+ Site is seen as an Ponzi Scheme
It is any program or claimed investment opportunity which relies on new investments to pay off the older ones. Those whom invest first are thus paid their returns from those who invest after them.
Investment fraud scam / money launder scam / ponzi scheme
"Financial Manager" = "Money Mule". Apparently this identity has been around since 08-oct-2007 (time at which
"azia-trade.com" was registered), but this is the first I've seen of it. The job can be summarized as "aiding fraud and theft", or "money laundering".

Therefore, if you have any reservation about closing this site for TOS violation, please consult your legal department.
THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
+ Site is fraudulently representing itself as a legitimate Investment Site .
+ Redirect phone used for main telephone number. Note that most "419" scams using +44 70xx numbers are based in Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam it usually means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria. UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The US Mobile number is used to lend credibility to the scam.
+ Phone: No phone, email only
+ Redirect number used for fax telephone number: ("When your customer phones you on your 0870 number, the call is automatically redirected to the number you specified in your control panel. You can make these changes through the control panel 24x7 and changes take effect in real time.")
Fax: No fax, email only
+ Site gathers personal information on insecure form:
http://azia-trade.com/?a=signup
Your LibertyReserve Account:
+ The domain registration information is recent and for only one to two years; this is inconsistent with a large institution but very typical of fraudulent sites. The WHOIS registration says: Site was bought up to year 2012,
Creation Date: 08-oct-2007
Expiration Date: 08-oct-2012
+ The WHOIS registration does not appear to be affiliated with the site. No large, legitimate business would obscure site ownership through an anonymous registration service:
