the scary thing is that the fake profile had all the jargon of the area, knew how to explain in detail the operation and knew about STR. Even the MoU he had with BNB company address.

I reported the fake profile to Instagram and also to authorities. I hope it gets deleted before it harms anyone.

I'll try to warn the real Michael Elephant about this fake profile.

Just found that I was approached by a false profile.

This is the profile that got in touch with me

https://instagram.com/_melefaante6_

15k followers

And the true profile:

https://www.instagram.com/melefante6/

300k followers

I have all the screenshots and the MoU that he suggested to me. I will not pay him, but for sure he will get money from other people.

@Alex Scattareggia thanks for your msg. You are right. Its a false profile.

Hi all, I'm new here. I just found this site on Google search while trying to get more information about Mr. Michael Elefant and BNB Investor Academy. I follow him on Instagram and he contacted me to invest in his rents. I started talking to him about the minimum amount to invest, since I didn't know him or his company and he initially asked for $2,000 usd. Then he sent me a MoU for a 5k investment. And then he already tried to talk about a 10k investment. In short, he could simply not return the money or the profit by saying that he had reasons of force majeure, without clarifying any additional details. He also had no official identification of the company or the legal representative. When I asked for identification documents, he claimed it was too many documents for an investment of "only" $10,000. In other words, I strongly believe that this is a fraud. Does anyone know if this company BNB Investor Academy and Michael Elefant are serious?
