The about page of AIM’s website has the image below with these words “AIM is an American investment management firm founded in 1977 by Gary Bergstrom. Headquartered in Boston, with offices in London, Singapore and Sydney. The firm is known for using quantitative analysis and strategies in making investment decisions.“
Looking at the image, you can notice a logo on the screen with the words “ACADIAN.” Using Google lens to search for this image online we found this image appears on several websites and it is linked to Acadian Asset Management.
A quick visit to Investopedia shows that Acadian Asset Management was formally called Acadian Financial Research and “was founded in 1977 by Gary Bergstrom.” Similarly, on the blog page of AIM, we found a post with Acadian Asset Management clearly stated in the text.
From the images, company profile on Investopedia, and blog post, we can deduce that information on AIM’s about page is false and was copied from Acadian Asset Management.
Having established unmistakable evidence of foul play, we decided to register on the platform to observe its inner workings. The prominent feature of the platform is the “Task.”
The various “tasks” give a window into how this fraudulent platform is being propagated. For instance, the “Selfie to earn bonus” requires that registrants pick up their mobile phones, open the AIM homepage, and ask family or friends to take a photo for them.
This act of asking for the uploading of pictures while looking innocent, is the use of social proof to deceive the unsuspecting as to the legitimacy of the platform.
Looking at the task list, notice the “send flyers to make money” and “invite to earn bonus,” these are also calculated at increasing the participants of the platform. Another “Task” worthy of note is the ” Start an AIM Club.”
You can see the tiered structure above, which is also repeated in its “Team Commissions,” such as reminiscent of classic pyramid schemes.
Aside from all the false information on their website, the images above show AIM is a pyramid scheme, funneling money from new entrants to keep the scheme alive. The non-existent products listed on the website are all a ruse to make the pyramid structure less obvious.
Finally, we decided to look at how money is being funneled in and out of the platform. To make any purchase on the platform, you need to “recharge” your account, several amounts exist, and we found two payment methods.
The first “KbPay” is actually Palmpay, a digital wallet.
The second, “UUPay” is actually Coronation Merchant bank
The use of these non-traditional payment options would require less customer due diligence, hence their adoption.
In conclusion, with all that has been presented above. AIM (aim7777.com) is a fraudulent scheme, spread the word and warn anyone you know who has been hoodwinked to join this scheme.

My Aim account was hacked by my team manager, please help me
How was it hacked
Thanks for this holistic review.
So many scams abound in our world now and I hope a number of their subscribers will learn from this.
My team manager is stealing from my aim account 😭😭 8134824262
Your team manager is not trust worthy, try to change your password
I know it might be a scam, so I take calculated risk by investing on small or amount I can afford to lose, then use bring out my principal accrued and then use my accrued interest to reinvest..that is the best way to follow so that you only loose your interest if the worse comes which I don’t pray yet till I make enough I lost in another ponzi platform
This is not a “calculated risk” but fraudulent behavior. You know it is a scam, but you are not bothered if you do not make a loss. So those who end up losing money what happens to them?
They’re also supposed to invest with what they won’t be afraid to loose
They are supposed to invest in a legitimate scheme and not a Ponzi scheme, stop trying to justify criminality.
Yes o
That’s what I also did
And I’ve made more than #20,000 profit
You mean you have made 20,000 from robbery
PLS I need help, I tried aim for the first time ,but not I can’t get my money back, the money is not mine it is for my school
I really need help
You can only get your money back if the perpetrators of the scheme are caught and they forfeit the funds they have collected.
Rubbish! AIM is paying people everyday. Though it is a risky scheme but they have kept every single promise. Funds are secured for now. I invested 990k and have since received 3.6m
Oga keep quiet! Read the investigations on our website, we know your type, you are trying to hype a ponzi scheme to get some small change. If you have up to 50k I can guarantee you would not be capping on the comment section on the internet, carry your fraudulent self and find something more productive to do before the long arm of the law gets to you.
hello the server is not opening on browser again whats going on
Almost everybody knows about this scam na, this is not the first time something like this is happening. What about “step works” or Nigerian norderworks or students wallet,
Abeg make Dem do another one we go Join again. Na who no smart go loose.
So you know something is a scam, yet you joined, hoping to make something off another person’s loss, you are no better than the scammers who made the platform.
