This site presents itself as an online investment platform that promises astronomical profits
(up to 410% in 30 minutes). Such claims usually sound the alarm bells of a scam or pyramid scheme.
Image of the plansThe home page of the site has a photo of the license and details of the company, which is owned by Holmes Funding Limited with registration number 03982428 in the UK and its address is 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3AN. But when we look at the investment plans, it is clear that these numbers do not make sense. Moreover, the statistics it shows (such as 15 members and deposits and withdrawals under $ 100) contradict the claim of "the best investment platform". If it was the best, the whole world would have known about it.
Image of the license and company informationIt is claimed that they work in the field of cloud mining of digital currencies, but there is no information about the team or managers. This kind of concealment is very common on scam sites.
Holmes Funding Limited with company number 03982428 is actually registered in the UK and has been active since April 28, 2000. Its field of activity is "Unclassified Financial Intermediation" (SIC code 64999), which is more related to securities, not online investment platforms or cloud mining.
The activities that the site advertises (online investment and cloud mining) do not match what is written in the company registration. It seems that the site is misusing the name of this company.In the company history, we see that the company regularly publishes financial and annual reports, but there is no mention of online investment or cloud mining. This is another confirmation that the site is misleading.
Link to the license information embedded in the site In the UK, any company that provides investment services must be licensed by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). I looked at the FCA directory and found that Holmes Funding Limited does not have any license to do so and without an FCA license, the site is illegal to operate.FCA search resultThe site uses HTTPS and an SSL certificate, which indicates a minimum level of security.
However, claims such as "Comodo SSL certificate" or "DDoS protection" are not confirmed without specific evidence. The lack of information about the technical team also adds to the suspicion.
The apparent security of the site is not a proof of its reliability and requires a deeper investigation.
The domain holmes-funding.com was registered only 4 months ago, while the main company has been active since 2000. This discrepancy indicates that the site is probably a separate project from the main company and has nothing to do with it.
Whois information shows that the domain was registered in November 2024 and
its owner is hidden through Privacy Protect, LLC. This, combined with the lack of FCA registration and the inconsistency with the parent company's activities, suggests a possible scam.

ScamVoid,
ScamAdviser,
Scamminder, and
Scam-Detector have all confirmed a high risk of scam.
