TGI Global webinar pitches and the “free $100” hook

A Facebook webinar, a helpful manager, and a bank that gifts you a trading deposit — walk away.

The pattern reads like a script. Ads promise online side income; you leave a number; a “manager” calls about a trading platform with an in-house analyst; if you hesitate about funding, they dangle a hundred dollars “from a bank” to start, held for you in a queue. One reported funnel pointed at tgi-global.com and a Telegram handle used for chase-ups. Help checking the company — from the same salesperson — is not due diligence; it is theatre.

TGI Global’s site has claimed a link to a UK company and an FCA number. A Companies House name on a footer is not the same as permission to run a retail CFD kitchen for you, and appointed-representative status (where it exists at all) is narrow. Always match the exact legal entity, trading name and website on the FCA Financial Services Register yourself. Unsolicited “free deposits”, artificial queues and remote-install requests (AnyDesk / TeamViewer) are classic boiler-room furniture: show paper profits, then demand tax or unlock fees when you try to withdraw.

Block the chat, do not install remote-control software, and do not send “activation” money. If contacts already leaked from a lead form, expect more calls — ignore them.
