Please give me information about BG Wealth Sharing (https://bg662.com/) based off their website and anything else you can find online. 

Are they reputable?

Would you invest money with them?

How long have they been in existence?

=== Assistant: Short answer up front: I would not trust BG Wealth Sharing bg662.com and I would not invest with them. ===
Short answer up front: I would not trust BG Wealth Sharing (bg662.com) and I would ''not'' invest with them. Below I summarize what the company’s website says, independent evidence I found (including regulator warnings and multiple scam reports), the main red flags, and practical next steps if you’ve already sent money.

=== - The site (bg662.com) presents “BG Wealth Sharing / BG Investment Group”, says it was founded by Stephen Beard in 2018, and promotes a related trading/exchange platform called DSJ Exchange (claims DSJ was founded Apr 2022 and holds many licenses). BG662<ref>{{cite web|title=BG662|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===

=== 1. UK regulator (FCA) has issued a formal warning naming “BG Wealth Sharing / dsjex.net” and telling people to avoid dealing with them — the FCA explicitly says the firm is not authorised and may be targeting UK residents. That’s an authoritative red flag. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
# Multiple consumer-safety / scam-check sites and security scanners flag bg662.com / DSJ Exchange as suspicious or high-risk (very low trust scores on ScamDoc / ScamAdviser / Gridinsoft / Scam-Detector-style sites). These services note very recent domain registration, hidden WHOIS, and other typical scam indicators. Scamdoc<ref>{{cite web|title=Scamdoc|url=https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2436619|publisher=scamdoc.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Several crypto/broker-review sites and investigators recommend avoiding DSJ Exchange (the trading platform the BG site promotes) because it is unregulated by top-tier regulators and shows common scam behavior (unverifiable licences, manipulated balances, withdrawal problems). BrokerChooser<ref>{{cite web|title=BrokerChooser|url=https://brokerchooser.com/safety/dsj-exchange-broker-safe-or-scam|publisher=brokerchooser.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# User reports, Reddit threads and social-media posts describe people being recruited via WhatsApp/Telegram, controlled trading dashboards, small initial withdrawals followed by freezes/requests for more money — classic scam/MLM tactics. People name “Professor Stephen Beard” and DSJ domains repeatedly in anecdotal complaints. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoScams/comments/1m6xv1y/concerned_about_a_possible_crypto_scheme/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - Regulator warning. The FCA warning (May 7, 2025) is the single strongest signal to avoid the firm. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* Unverified / contradictory claims on their own site. The site claims to be a subsidiary of large “Investing” platforms and to hold multiple high-level licences (SEC, ASIC, MAS, DFSA, etc.) — but those claims are not corroborated by the regulators or independent records cited above. That inconsistency is a classic fraud sign. BG662<ref>{{cite web|title=BG662|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Domain / trust-score issues. Security scanners and scam-checkers rate bg662.com very low or suspicious and report recent domain registration / privacy-protected WHOIS. Short domain age + hidden ownership is suspicious for a financial firm. Scamdoc<ref>{{cite web|title=Scamdoc|url=https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2436619|publisher=scamdoc.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Community reports of withdrawal freezes / pressure to add funds and recruit others. Multiple forum threads and third-party reviews describe exactly that pattern. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1lo04pa/us_dsjex_and_professor_stephen_beard_with_bg/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - What the site claims: BG’s site says it was founded in 2018 and that DSJ Exchange was founded April 2022. (Those are self-reported claims on bg662.com.) BG662<ref>{{cite web|title=BG662|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* What independent sources show / contradict those claims: Domain- and scam-scanner records show the bg662 domain is very new and has low trust scores; DSJ Exchange/related domains have been the subject of regulatory warnings and consumer complaints starting in 2024–2025. That means the public footprint people can verify is recent and is associated with scam warnings (so the site’s “founded in 2018 / big-exchange” claims are not independently backed and are suspicious). Scamdoc<ref>{{cite web|title=Scamdoc|url=https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2436619|publisher=scamdoc.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - No. Not reputable. The combination of an FCA warning, many independent scam reports and review pages, unverifiable licence/exec claims on their own website, and domain/trust-score problems means they do not pass basic checks for a legitimate investment firm. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* I would not invest any money with them. If you want to invest in crypto or trading platforms, choose firms registered with and regulated by recognized authorities (SEC/FINRA for US broker/dealers, FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, etc.), and verify via the regulators’ public registers.

=== 1. Stop sending more money. Scammers commonly take a little, let you withdraw a small amount, then ask for more or “verification fees.” ===
# Document everything (screenshots, chat logs, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, emails).
# Contact your bank/payment provider immediately — ask about chargebacks or wire-reversal options; if crypto was used, recovery is difficult but report it.
# Report to authorities: UK — FCA (they already warned on this firm), Australia — ASIC/MoneySmart, New Zealand — FMA, your local police/cybercrime unit, and report the scam on platforms where it recruited (WhatsApp/Telegram groups, social channels). FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - Company website — BG Wealth Sharing (company / project pages). BG662<ref>{{cite web|title=BG662|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* FCA Warning List: BG Wealth Sharing / dsjex.net (May 7, 2025). FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Scam-check / trust-score pages (ScamDoc / ScamAdviser / Gridinsoft analyses). Scamdoc<ref>{{cite web|title=Scamdoc|url=https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2436619|publisher=scamdoc.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Independent reviews / watchdog posts about DSJ Exchange and BG Wealth Sharing (broker-review sites, BehindMLM-type writeups, Reddit threads reporting scams). BrokerChooser<ref>{{cite web|title=BrokerChooser|url=https://brokerchooser.com/safety/dsj-exchange-broker-safe-or-scam|publisher=brokerchooser.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

If you want, I can do any of the following right now (I won’t ask you to wait — I’ll do it immediately):
* Pull the FCA warning page into a clean summary you can forward to someone. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Check whether any of the claimed licences or executives (e.g., “Stephen Beard”, “DSJ Exchange” licenses) appear in SEC / ASIC / MAS public registries and summarize the results.
* Draft a short message you can send to your bank (or to people in a WhatsApp group) explaining the warning and asking them to stop further transfers.

Which of those would be most useful to you?

Short answer: Yes — dsj355.com<ref>{{cite web|title=dsj355.com|url=https://dsj355.com/|publisher=dsj355.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> appears to be one of the DSJ/“DSJ Exchange” sites that are tied to the same network BG Wealth Sharing is connected with, and it does not look legitimate. I would not trust it or invest through it. Below are the reasons and the most important sources.

=== - Affiliation: Likely affiliated. DSJ-branded domains (dsjex.net, dsjzn.com, and many dsj### variants such as dsj355.com) are repeatedly promoted together in the same marketing channels and social posts and are repeatedly named in consumer complaints about “BG Wealth Sharing / DSJ Exchange.” The FCA warning about BG Wealth Sharing / DSJ Exchange and multiple community reports all point to a single scam ecosystem using multiple DSJ domains. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* Legitimacy: Not legit. Independent scam-checkers flag dsj355.com as suspicious or a scam; broker-safety reviewers and many user reports warn against DSJ Exchange; regulators (FCA) have explicitly warned about DSJ-related operations. Gridinsoft LLC<ref>{{cite web|title=Gridinsoft LLC|url=https://gridinsoft.com/online-virus-scanner/url/dsj355-com|publisher=Gridinsoft LLC|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== 1. Regulatory warnings for the DSJ/BG network. The UK FCA has warning entries for BG Wealth Sharing and DSJ Exchange (dsjex.net) — it explicitly says these are not authorised and to avoid them. Even if dsj355.com itself isn’t named on every regulator page, the FCA names DSJ Exchange and BG Wealth Sharing and calls out associated Telegram accounts and domains in that network. That’s the strongest red flag. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
# Multiple DSJ domains and overlapping marketing. Social posts, affiliate posts and community threads show many DSJ domains (dsj355, dsj958, dsjex, dsjzn, etc.) being shared and promoted by the same promoters and Telegram/WhatsApp accounts. That pattern (many near-identical domains) is typical for scam operations which swap domains when one gets blocked. Facebook<ref>{{cite web|title=Facebook|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecashflowcrew/posts/1799931373974662/|publisher=facebook.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Poor/hidden WHOIS, very recent registration. Scam-scanners and site-checkers report the WHOIS is privacy-protected and the domain is recently registered — a common sign for fraudulent financial sites (short domain age + obscured ownership). ScamAdviser / similar automated tools flag dsj355 for these reasons. ScamAdviser<ref>{{cite web|title=ScamAdviser|url=https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/dsj355.com|publisher=scamadviser.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Independent scam analyses & community reports. GridinSoft, ScamAdviser and many Reddit/YouTube/Blog posts identify DSJ Exchange sites as scams, describe withdrawal freezes, pressure to add funds and recruitment tactics — the same patterns reported for BG Wealth Sharing. Gridinsoft LLC<ref>{{cite web|title=Gridinsoft LLC|url=https://gridinsoft.com/online-virus-scanner/url/dsj355-com|publisher=Gridinsoft LLC|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - Don’t deposit or transfer funds to dsj355.com or any DSJ/“BG Wealth Sharing” links. ===
* If you (or someone you know) already sent money, document payments, stop further payments, contact the payment provider/bank immediately, and report the case to local police and the relevant financial regulator in your country (for UK victims the FCA is already aware). FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

If you want, I can:
* Pull the FCA warning page into a concise, shareable one-page summary you can forward. FCA<ref>{{cite web|title=FCA|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjexnet|publisher=fca.org.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Check whether a specific payment/wallet transaction is likely recoverable and draft a message to your bank or payment provider.
* Search for other DSJ domain variants and provide a short list (so you can block or avoid them).

Which of those would you like me to do right now?

Good — I ran a focused “proof attempt” across company registries, university records, the BG/DSJ sites and independent investigators. Short answer up front:

There is no credible, independently verifiable record that a real person called “Professor Stephen Beard” (with the BG/DSJ biography: Oxford Brookes PhD, ex-Gemini/IMF executive, born 1985) exists. The identity appears to be a marketing persona used by BG/DSJ (very likely fabricated). Below I show exactly what I searched and the strongest pieces of evidence that support that conclusion.

=== 1. BG/DSJ’s own marketing materials - BG’s site and many affiliate pages repeatedly show a “Professor Stephen Beard” biography (born 1985, Oxford Brookes finance degrees, ex-Gemini/IMF) and use his name in testimonials, Zoom events and social posts. This is the source of the claims, not independent verification. bg662.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bg662.com|url=https://bg662.com/halloffame/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
# Independent exposés / investigations - Recent investigative writeups (deep-dive exposés) examined BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX and concluded “Professor Stephen Beard does not exist outside BG’s own marketing” — they found no academic record, no regulatory filings tied to him, and allege the photos/biography are fabricated or AI/stock-based. This is a high-quality red flag because investigators checked primary records. Danny de Hek<ref>{{cite web|title=Danny de Hek|url=https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjex-a-deep-dive-expose-into-a-manufactured-dream-and-a-very-real-scam/|publisher=Danny de Hek|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Social, forum and victim reports - Multiple Reddit / Facebook / Instagram posts and victim threads discuss “Professor Beard” as a promotional persona and explicitly say they cannot find a verifiable background (no LinkedIn, no publications, no verifiable university ties). Many users report behavior consistent with an MLM/ponzi scheme where the “professor” issues signals and controls participation. These are firsthand user reports showing the name exists mainly as marketing. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1lo04pa/us_dsjex_and_professor_stephen_beard_with_bg/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Public records / corporate registers - I searched UK Companies House and other registries for a matching senior/academic person with that name and the claimed background. There are multiple people called Stephen Beard in Companies House records (common name) but none match BG’s specific biography (born 1985, Oxford Brookes PhD, ex-Gemini/IMF, “Professor” title). In other words, there are real Stephen Beards in corporate records, but none that corroborate BG’s story. That mismatch is important — BG’s biography is not supported by official public-record hits. beta.companieshouse.gov.uk<ref>{{cite web|title=beta.companieshouse.gov.uk|url=https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/Z_l-q8ik89VwxJXJ2NZdEw-q18g/appointments|publisher=beta.companieshouse.gov.uk|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
# Photo / media provenance and suspicious patterns - Investigators and community posts have traced photos and messages used for “Beard” to stock/affiliate pages and to content that looks AI-generated or recycled (another signal that the persona may be constructed rather than a real public figure). The domain-rotation, privacy WHOIS and heavy use of social recruitment are consistent with scam operations that invent leaders. Danny de Hek<ref>{{cite web|title=Danny de Hek|url=https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjex-a-deep-dive-expose-into-a-manufactured-dream-and-a-very-real-scam/|publisher=Danny de Hek|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - BG/DSJ is the only place that publishes the detailed Beard biography; independent sources (universities, regulators, corporate registries and credible professional networks) do not corroborate it. bg662.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bg662.com|url=https://bg662.com/halloffame/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ===
* Investigative writeups conclude the Beard identity is likely fabricated and point to AI/stock images and fake certificates used by BG/DSJ. That’s a strong indicator of deliberate deception. Danny de Hek<ref>{{cite web|title=Danny de Hek|url=https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjex-a-deep-dive-expose-into-a-manufactured-dream-and-a-very-real-scam/|publisher=Danny de Hek|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Forum/victim reports show the name functions as a marketing/authority figure inside the scheme (Zooms, Bonchat signals, Telegram/WhatsApp recruitment) rather than as a verifiable independent expert. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1lo04pa/us_dsjex_and_professor_stephen_beard_with_bg/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

=== - Most likely: “Professor Stephen Beard” is a manufactured/fictitious persona used by BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX to lend credibility. There is no reliable, independent evidence that a real Professor Stephen Beard with the BG-claimed CV exists. ===
* Implication: The “founder” story should not be treated as evidence of legitimacy — it’s a marketing device common in scams.

=== - I can pull and save screenshots of the BG pages that show the Beard biography and the independent exposés (useful if you need to report or present evidence). ===
* I can query specific university alumni/publication databases (Oxford Brookes, Google Scholar) and produce the “no results” screenshots for a stronger formal record.
* I can draft a short, sharable one-page summary you can send to a bank, local regulator, or to family/friends warning them not to invest (with the key citations attached).

Which of those would be most useful — screenshots of the BG pages and exposés, a formal “no record” search of Oxford Brookes + LinkedIn/Google Scholar, or a one-page report you can forward?
