Our community members recently drew our attention to a so-called Investment Management firm called Pennywise Wealth Management. The following is a summary of what our intelligence team discovered upon visiting their site (pennywisewealthmanagement[.]com).
We observed that they promised to pay as much as 3% of a depositors investment daily.
Upon noticing the high interest rates promised and intrigued to know how this was being achieved, we went to their “How it works” page on their website. There they made numerous claims such as:
“Through trading desks in Calgary, Houston, London and Singapore, We have access to round-the-clock coverage of a broad array of physical and financial commodity products.”
“Located across four continents, our equity specialists can help you access more than 90 markets around the world. Our equity specialists have access to both cash equities and derivatives, letting us implement tailored strategies through a single point of contact. As well as our market-leading execution capabilities, we are able to provide margin finance secured by our equity portfolios which gives us a very high returns.”
These are quite lofty claims. A company with such global reach and presence should at least have an office address in places where they operate. We find no address on their contact page. Also, there is no list of company employeers or a management team. From what the company says about itself it wouldn’t be a streach to expect such information as company address and management to be readily available . The absence of these two important details was indicative of something sinister.
Next, we looked at the domain records and discovered that the domain is two years old.
The above pictured domain details are important because of the claims made on their website. See below.
“At Penny Wise there are no outside owners, and therefore, no conflicting loyalties. The company is owned by its funds, which in turn are owned by their shareholders—including you, if you’re a Penny Wise investor. Our unique client-owned structure allows us to return profits to our investors in the form of lower expenses. Low costs helps our clients keep more of their returns, which can help them earn more money over time investing with Pennywise Wealth Management.”
Since they have no outside owners and operate a client-owned structure, how were they able to build a global reach in just 2 years? Investigating further, we noticed they had a privacy policy on the footer of their website.
Clicking the link took takes one to their Privacy Policy Page, there it had contact information for Owner and Data Controller.
Looking up this address on Google, it shows that it belongs to Standard Chartered Bank, United Kingdom.
The red flags thus discovered prompted a study of the structural make up of the website and source code. From this, we were able to connect the pennywise website to several others on the web. One of such was acrofundinvestment[.]com and even the text used in both sites were similar, the only difference was the company names. See below.
Here are other domain names we found connected with the two above:
- bluechipbond.com
- gwwcooperation.com
- pennywiseweallthmanagement.com
- pennywisewealthmanagement.website
- bitclubcapital.com
- postcovid19investment.com
- bitmainglobal.com
- goldpalminvestment.com
From the foregoing, we can deduce that this is a carefully orchestrated fraud scheme. Furthermore, it appears that probably some (if not all) of the perpetrators reside in the city of Portharcourt as several lines of evidence point to this.
First, aside the Instagram handle listed on the Pennywise Wealth Management website, we were able to unearth their Facebook page. Below is a screenshot showing their Ad account with both handles
The Ad account had only two ads deployed. See below.
Searching google for the phone number “08035216067” listed on the above ad led to a service run by a “Wealth Producer” in Port Harcourt. See below.
The second line of evidence pointing to Port Harcourt is what appears to be a name found in the source code of bitmainglobal[.]com which is one of the domains listed above.
A google search of this name led to a Post UME list from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology which is also located in Port-Harcourt
The third line of evidence is from bluechipbond[.]com, one of the domains listed above. Looking at the domain record, it shows that it is just over a month old
Upon searching on social media, only one Facebook group was promoting this website. Looking at the group members, it had only one admin whose residence is listed as Port Harcourt.
In conclusion, we advise the general public to not conduct any form of business with the above-listed domains. Furthermore, anyone who has funds to invest should always make sure that the entity they are going to hand over their funds to is duly registered with the appropriate authorities in their country of operation.

The first thing is not to beat yourself up, we all make mistakes. The next thing is to set aside time and see what you can learn from the situation, such as what made you susceptible to the scam, and what you could have done differently. Also, ask yourself if there were warning signs that you chose to ignore. Think about these things critically, then read up about various types of digital fraud. Don’t forget to warn others using your experience as an example.

It’s really unfortunate
I suspect they are going to shut down and but I was pained because I invested 105$ and referred someone to do so and he spent about 80 to invest and pay management fee. I was reluctant to pay the management fee but my friend persuaded me to pay because I have pending withdrawal and I should not allow them to block my account. I was not greedy because I told my friends not to invest too much because they are not safe.
my $1600 gone
Thank you so much for the detailed information concerning this matter… I nearly invested my money bcos a friend of mine was putting me under pressure to do so… Please.. kindly investigate doxora and crowd1… Thanks

Hmmmm, it hurts to see this review when its probably already too late. I invested 230k for myself and 220k for my lady and we barely even made anything out of it plus the maintenance fee we paid before it went down. Its well though.. I knew it was too good to be through, but I was convinced its was legit because my neighbor was involved too n was cashing out.
We’re sorry to hear this, we hope those behind this scam are apprehended.

But can we ? God! Of course no

You guys have made my day and made me proud to be a Nigerian. Why? Because, I never believed that there are any Nigerian companies that would pay so much attention to detail in their activities. Keep up the good work. If many had come across your investigation beforehand, they would have been saved a lot of heartache. You have saved me in particular because I had always wanted to invest in that company and most reviews I had read did not do justice or completely and satisfactorily answer my questions until I read yours. Up you. Keep it up and thanks again.
Hmmmm am already a victim of pennywisewealthmanagement.com and I don’t know how to get my money but please I want to ask you a question please can you give or send me the links or sites of genuine investments site please thanks my phone number is +2348068871432
