🚨 Community Alert: The “FSFA Academy” & The “Stock-to-Crypto” Trap

The Scam:

A group calling itself “FSFA Academy” (operating via alfelix.com) is targeting investors.

The Trap: They don’t ask for crypto immediately. They start with “Local Stock Tips” using AI-generated analysis to build trust. Once you trust their “Professor,” they pivot you to a fake crypto platform where your money gets trapped forever.

🔍 Anatomy of the “Fat Piggy” (Pig Butchering) Scam

This is a psychological attack that happens in 4 phases. Here is what to look for:

Phase 1: The “Legitimacy” Mask (Stock Tips)

• The Bait: They don’t talk about crypto at first. They offer “free stock market education” or “AI-driven stock analysis.”
• The Tech: They use AI to generate professional-sounding market reports to look like experts.
• The stolen Identity: They use photos stolen from LinkedIn (often real financial professionals) to create fake profiles for their “Professors” and “Assistants.”

Phase 2: The Grooming (Fattening the Pig)

• The Interaction: They often add you to a WhatsApp/Telegram group.
• The “Shills”: The group is full of fake members (bots/employees) posting screenshots of huge profits, thanking the “Professor.”
• The Hook: They let you win on small stock trades first to lower your defenses.

Phase 3: The Pivot (The Switch)

• The “Professor” suddenly claims the stock market is “too slow” or “bearish.”
• He announces a “Special Private Equity Project” or “VIP Crypto Plan” with 500%+ returns.
• The Trap: To participate, you must download their special app (e.g., alfelix.com) because “normal exchanges won’t work.”

Phase 4: The Slaughter (Honeypot)

• You deposit money. The screen shows you making millions.
• The End: When you try to withdraw, they demand a “Tax Fee,” “Security Deposit,” or “Verification Fee.” You never get your money back.

🚩 Red Flags for “FSFA Academy” & Clones

1. The “Professor/Assistant” Dynamic: Real investment firms don’t have “Assistants” chasing you on WhatsApp to buy crypto.
2. Proprietary Apps: If they ask you to download an app via a link (APK file) instead of the Official App Store/Play Store, it is 100% Malware/Spyware.
3. Domain Age: We checked alfelix.com. It was likely registered very recently (less than 1 year). Legitimate trading firms have domains that are 10+ years old.
4. The “Cambodia/Myanmar” Connection: Be aware that many of these operations are run from forced-labor compounds in Southeast Asia.

🛡️ How to Fact Check (Self-Defense)

Before you join any “Academy”:

1. Reverse Image Search: Take the “Professor’s” profile photo and upload it to Google Images or FaceCheck.id. You will likely find it belongs to a random person in another country.
2. Check Domain Age: Go to who.is and type in their website. If it was created in 2024/2025, RUN.
3. Verify the License: Ask for their regulatory license number (SEC, FCA, etc.). Scammers will send a fake PDF or get angry.

⚠️ Verdict:

FSFA Academy / Alfelix is a CONFIRMED High-Risk Scam.

Do not deposit. Do not download their app. Exit the group immediately.
