Public Notice Regarding Cybercrime by arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl
arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl is a fraudulent, cloned website unlawfully impersonating financely-group.com & financely.io. This unauthorized website uses a WhatsApp contact widget, which Financely does not use, in an attempt to attract leads for financial services that they cannot deliver.
Financely issues this public statement to inform our clients, partners, and the general public of fraudulent and deceptive activities conducted by the operators of the domain arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl.
The infringing website arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl continues to misleadingly reference Financely’s legal entities in its disclaimers and still links directly to our official client portal and client intake forms.
This demonstrates clearly their lack of operational capacity, as they were unable to replicate Financely’s back-end infrastructure, further evidencing their fraudulent intent.
Ashford Capital Advisory LLC, whose name was fraudulently used by arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl, explicitly disclaims any and all liability for services advertised or purchased through the arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl website. Ashford Capital Advisory LLC is exclusively an entity controlled by Financely and has no affiliation whatsoever with arcadiainvestmentgroup.nl or its operators.
