Mobeen hopes to find answers for the people who believe they were scammed.

Searching for the elusive Gurvin, Mobeen hopes to find answers for the people who believe they were scammed. His digging reveals a common thread that blows the story wide open.

Journalist Mobeen Azhar investigates the world of online forex trading discovering a world where remarkably similar claims of success suggest that the story of Gurvin could be one of many. Having tried to make contact with Mr Gurvz, as he’s known online, Mobeen is blocked from his social media accounts and forced to turn to more traditional methods in hunting him down.

On the other side of the city, a tip-off leads him to a south London community group who were also involved in a forex investment that didn’t go to plan. The conversation provides a revelation that potentially links both cases to an established brand with offices right in the heart of London’s financial district.
