Albion Capital Group LLP (AlbionVC / albion.capital) is a genuine London venture-capital manager, authorised in the United Kingdom and known for VCT and early-stage investing. That respectable footprint is exactly why impersonators borrow the name. Victims are shown “Albion Capital Group”, “Albion Investments” or lookalike domains and invited into a private investment cabinet, a pre-IPO round or a sudden compensation fund.
The playbook is boring and effective. A small first deposit, a rising dashboard, then fees to raise limits, pass compliance or release a withdrawal. Variants include fake regulator letters, remote-access “support”, job offers that ask you to move money, and crypto wrappers that claim a fund “partnered” with Albion. Real venture firms of this type do not cold-DM retail punters into USDT cabinets, and they do not demand prepaid “due diligence” from founders via Telegram.
Verify contact through albion.capital / albion.vc only. Cross-check any email domain character by character. If someone needs a fee before you can speak to the real firm, hang up.
