Whos is Professor Stephen Beard from BG Wealth?

=== Assistant: Good questions. ===
Good questions. I looked into what is publicly known about Professor Stephen Beard — the person the promoters of BG Wealth Sharing (BGWS) claim is the founder/leader. What I found strongly suggests he is not a real, verifiable person, but rather a fictitious or fabricated identity used to promote a scam. Here’s a breakdown:

==== - On BG’s own site they describe Stephen Beard as founder of BG Wealth Sharing, supposedly founded in 2018. bg662.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bg662.com|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref> ====
* They further claim he studied finance at Oxford Brookes University, and was born in 1985, lives as a British national with interests in fitness, golf, travel, etc. bg662.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bg662.com|url=https://bg662.com/company/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Many of the “testimonials” on BG’s “Hall of Fame” and other pages refer to him as “Professor Beard,” thanking him for guidance, “signals,” and leadership. bg662.com<ref>{{cite web|title=bg662.com|url=https://bg662.com/halloffame/|publisher=bg662.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

So publicly — via BG / DSJ marketing — Beard is presented as a credible finance-savvy founder/mentor with educational credentials and a track record.

==== - According to a detailed exposé, there is no evidence of Stephen Beard existing outside BG/DSJ marketing. No academic record under that name linked to Oxford Brookes University; no social media or professional footprint independent of BG; no regulatory filings; no credible biography. 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> ====
* Reviewers of BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX describe Beard as a “mythical frontman” — “everything about BG Wealth Sharing begins with its mythical frontman, ‘Professor Stephen Beard.’” LinkedIn<ref>{{cite web|title=LinkedIn|url=https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bg-wealth-sharing-dsjex-deep-dive-expos%C3%A9-manufactured-danny-de-hek-oeabc|publisher=linkedin.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Allegedly, even photos used to represent him are traced to image-stock sites or appear to be AI-generated / manipulated, rather than verifiable portrait photos of a real person. 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 have no credible company registration or regulatory oversight matching the claims on their website. Reports note private registration of domains, no verifiable legal entity tied to Beard, and inconsistent or fake “certificates” of incorporation/licence. BehindMLM<ref>{{cite web|title=BehindMLM|url=https://behindmlm.com/page/17/|publisher=behindmlm.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Analysts and scam-watch sites categorize BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX as a “click-to-earn” or “click-a-button” Ponzi / MLM-style scheme rather than a legitimate investment firm — and they emphasize that “Beard” appears only as marketing fiction. 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>

In short: there is no credible, independently verifiable evidence that “Professor Stephen Beard” exists as a real person with the background claimed by BG/DSJ.

==== From the investigation and the pattern seen across multiple scam/pump-and-dump / Ponzi-style firms, the “Beard persona” appears to serve as a marketing prop: ====
* A “trusted figure” with a name + education + biography + “professor” title → lends an illusion of legitimacy to new recruits.
* A focal person to direct trust and authority — “follow his signals,” “join under his leadership,” “he’s a guru” — which helps with recruiting and maintaining control in a multi-level marketing / referral-based scheme.
* Because the identity seems fictional or manufactured, the operators behind the scenes remain anonymous — reducing legal risk, hiding real ownership, making it harder for victims to trace them.

==== Based on all publicly available investigation and analysis — including multiple independent scam-review sites — there is a strong consensus that “Professor Stephen Beard” does ''not'' exist as a real, verifiable individual. Instead, he is almost certainly a fabricated identity (a frontman name / pseudonym) created by the operators of BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX to help them lure and manipulate victims. ====

So “Beard” is best understood not as a real founder/finance-expert, but as a marketing device — part of a fraudulent setup.

If you like — I can attempt to search public records (universities, SEC filings, business registries) to prove (or try to disprove) whether a real person named Stephen Beard matches the BG-claimed biography. This can help demonstrate how empty the “founder” claim is.
Do you want me to build that “proof attempt” for you now?

Does this website, https://dsj355.com/pc/#/home, appear to be a legitimate crypto investment site?

Are users able to deposit and withdraw funds as they please?

=== Assistant: Good questions. ===
Good questions. Here’s what I found about DSJ Exchange — and in particular the domain dsj355.com — and whether it appears legitimate. The short version: dsj355.com appears to be a high-risk / likely scam cryptocurrency investment site, not a legitimate, trustworthy platform. There is no credible evidence that users are able to reliably deposit and withdraw funds — in fact many indicators suggest withdrawals are probably blocked or manipulated.

==== - A security-scanner / reputation service flagged dsj355.com as high risk. According to one scan, the site is classified as a “Cryptocurrency Scam,” with a trust score of 1/100. The domain was only recently registered (August 2025), ownership is hidden (privacy-protected), and the site shows multiple signals associated with scam or phishing platforms. 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> ====
* Another site that reviews domain trust (ScamAdviser) gives dsj355.com a “very low trust score,” noting that the domain is new, has few visitors, and the WHOIS registration is hidden — all classic warning signs for fraudulent investment or scam sites. ScamAdviser<ref>{{cite web|title=ScamAdviser|url=https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/dsj355.com|publisher=scamadviser.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Broader investigations and watchdog-sites analyzing platforms tied to dsj355.com / DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing describe them as “imitation trading portals” or “fake brokers.” They state such platforms often employ slick-looking interfaces, fake dashboards/graphs, fake “profits,” and promises of unrealistic returns — but in reality, the investment and trading activity is fabricated, and withdrawals are typically blocked or come with bogus extra fees. CyberScamTracer<ref>{{cite web|title=CyberScamTracer|url=https://onlinescamreview.com/reviews/bg-wealth-sharing/|publisher=onlinescamreview.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Security-analysis sites list dsj355.com as “blacklisted by security providers” and flag it for high risk of fraudulent activity, including phishing, scam, or malware distribution. 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>

Taken together, these are strong indicators that dsj355.com is not a legitimate crypto investment site, but rather one operating as a scam or Ponzi-style scheme.

==== Based on pattern reports from many users (in Reddit, scam-review threads, etc.) and the general behaviour of sites like DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing: ====
* Common scam tactics used by these platforms: users are often allowed to deposit funds easily, and sometimes even withdraw a small amount early — this is designed to build trust. OnlineScamReview<ref>{{cite web|title=OnlineScamReview|url=https://onlinescamreview.com/reviews/bg-wealth-sharing/|publisher=onlinescamreview.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* But once a user invests more, or requests significant withdrawals, the platform allegedly begins to impose additional fees (“taxes,” “processing,” “verification,” etc.), delays, or freezes. Many complaints specifically mention being unable to withdraw — or being asked for more money before withdrawal is allowed. FraudReviewWatch<ref>{{cite web|title=FraudReviewWatch|url=https://fraudreviewwatch.com/reviews/dsj-exchange/|publisher=fraudreviewwatch.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Because dsj355.com (and related DSJ domains) are unlicensed, unregulated, and anonymously owned, there is no legal obligation or external oversight to ensure funds are safe or withdrawals honored. That means even if deposits are accepted, there’s no guarantee you can get your money (or profits) back. FraudReviewWatch<ref>{{cite web|title=FraudReviewWatch|url=https://fraudreviewwatch.com/reviews/bg-wealth-sharing/|publisher=fraudreviewwatch.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

So — while it may appear to let people deposit, there is no credible evidence that it supports honest, reliable withdrawals. On the contrary, many red-flag reports and scam-analysis sites suggest the withdrawal system is designed to trap funds.

==== - The domain is very new (registered August 2025), yet claims to belong to a large “exchange/investment platform” — that mismatch is a common feature of scam 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> ====
* Investigations into the broader network (BG Wealth Sharing / DSJ Exchange) show the use of multiple rotating domains — a classic tactic used to avoid detection, evade regulator blacklists, and restart once a domain is flagged or shut down. Ponzischemz<ref>{{cite web|title=Ponzischemz|url=https://ponzischemz.com/trading-signals-click-a-button-ponzi-ponzischemz/|publisher=ponzischemz.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* The site and its network use high-pressure marketing, promises of guaranteed returns or trading “signals,” social media / messaging-based recruitment (instead of transparent public investors), and other manipulative methods — which align with common crypto/forex scams described by regulators like Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). CFTC<ref>{{cite web|title=CFTC|url=https://www.cftc.gov/LearnAndProtect/AdvisoriesAndArticles/watch_out_for_digital_fraud.html|publisher=cftc.gov|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

==== Given the strong consensus across independent security-tools, scam-investigation sites, regulatory advisories, and community reports — my evaluation is that dsj355.com is very likely a fraudulent, scam platform. It may let you deposit, may even show fake gains, but you almost certainly cannot trust it to allow you to withdraw funds reliably. ====

If you like — I can dig up and show you 3–5 concrete publicly posted user reports (with dates) of people who tried to withdraw from DSJ-type platforms (dsj355.com, dsjex, etc.) and failed. That kind of “social proof” often helps show how this operates in real life. Do you want me to assemble that list for you now?

Good question. Here are some of the more concrete publicly-posted user reports and watchdog findings showing people who tried to withdraw (or had other negative outcomes) from DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing–linked websites (including domains like dsj355.com). These strongly suggest that users cannot reliably withdraw funds — or only after paying extra, or with severe strings attached.

==== 📄 Concrete user reports & investigations ====

===== • Automated security & reputation-site warnings =====
* The site dsj355.com was recently rated by a major website-reputation checker as “Cryptocurrency Scam — High Risk,” with a trust score of 1/100. It highlights a young domain (registered August 22, 2025), hidden ownership (privacy-protected WHOIS), very limited traffic and no credible track record. 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>
* The same scanner notes dsj355.com is blacklisted by some security providers, and flags “suspicious payment methods” and “unrealistic promises” of “guaranteed returns.” 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>

===== • Independent scam-exposé, investigations & watchdog analyses =====
* A recent exposé describes BG Wealth Sharing / DSJ Exchange as part of a “click-a-button” Ponzi scheme; investigators assert there is no real trading occurring, that “profits” are fabricated, and that withdrawals are regularly blocked after deposits grow. The site claims many forged documents (fake SEC/ASIC certificates, shell-company registrations) intended to deceive victims. 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>
* According to these reviews, DSJ Exchange and BG Wealth Sharing have no valid registration with any top-tier regulator (no SEC, FCA, ASIC, etc.), which means funds deposited are unprotected and there’s no external oversight. 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>

===== • First-person and forum/Reddit reports from (former) users =====

There are multiple posts from people claiming they lost access or had withdrawal issues, or that the platform pressured them to recruit others rather than trade — which is typical of Ponzi / MLM-style scams. Examples:

: “Professor started pressuring me to recruit new members … When I questioned … he blocked me from group trading …” 
: Reddit
: +1
: 
: “He froze the account of over 200 people … took everyone’s money out … and claimed it would be returned in 6 months.” 
: Reddit
: +1
: 
: “I was able to withdraw all the funds I had in there but along the line I had to pay roughly $300 to take my money out of there.” 
: Reddit
: +1

These reports show that even when small withdrawals are allowed (or claimed to be), they often come with extra fees or recruitment pressure — and there’s no guarantee of future withdrawals or account stability.

==== 🔎 What this tells us about dsj355.com & DSJ Exchange withdrawal reliability ====
* Security/risk-analysis tools and scam-watch sites almost universally flag dsj355.com as a high-risk crypto scam site. That alone is a strong warning.
* Investigations describe the operation as a “fake trading + recruitment + Ponzi payout” scheme, not a real exchange or investment platform — meaning any “profits” shown are likely simulated, and withdrawal capability is under the control of the scam operators rather than an independent ledger.
* User reports reinforce this: many say withdrawals are blocked, require extra fees (or recruiting more people), or eventually come with account freezes. Some say they got out early (with small gains), but those seem to be used to build trust and lure more money.
* Given the lack of regulatory oversight, shell-company registrations, hidden ownership, rotating domain strategy, and no verifiable license — there is effectively no guarantee that funds deposited will ever be safely returned.

==== ✅ My evaluation: dsj355.com (and DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing) should be considered a scam — deposit & withdrawal are not reliable ====

Based on the evidence, dsj355.com operates as part of a broader scam network. While small withdrawals (or partial withdrawals) may occasionally succeed — apparently to lure or reassure users — the overall structure is designed for fraud, asset capture, and ultimate collapse or abandonment.

If I were you, I would treat any funds already sent as very likely unrecoverable.

If you like, I can check whether there are any verified instances of large withdrawals (e.g. > $1,000) from DSJ-type platforms that completed without issues — that can help show whether the “small-withdrawal bait” is the only real thing people get.

=== User: Yes please ===

Good question. I checked — I found many alleged user-reports and community claims about people who said they withdrew (or attempted to) from DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing–linked schemes — but none that are independently verified, audited, or clearly “large, clean withdrawals” with evidence. In other words: there are claimed withdrawals, but there is no credible proof they are reliable, legitimate, or long-term. Here’s what I found (and why it doesn’t count as strong evidence).

==== ✅ What people claim: some withdrawals (with caveats) ====

From forums / Reddit / scam-watcher threads, some users say they managed to withdraw, usually early or after small deposits. Examples:
* One user on Reddit wrote: > “I was able to withdraw all the funds I had in there but along the line I had to pay roughly $300 to take my money out of there.”  > Reddit > +1
* Another user claimed: they deposited US$300, and after a few months saw account-balance growth to about US$2,700, then withdrew US$700 (leaving some “house money” in the platform). Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com//r/u_Few_Neighborhood44/comments/1milfoz/bg_wealth_sharing_investment_group/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Some posts (some sceptical of the scheme) mention that a few small withdrawals or early withdrawals were honoured — apparently used by promoters to create the illusion of legitimacy and lure in more funds. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com//r/CryptoScams/comments/1mky3da/one_big_elaborate_scam_bg_wealth_sharing_and_dsjex/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>

So yes — there are multiple anecdotal claims of withdrawals, often of modest amounts, sometimes after paying fees/“taxes,” sometimes only after recruiting new members.

==== ⚠️ Why those claims are not reliable proof of legitimacy (or of safe, large withdrawals) ====
* None of the stories come with verifiable public evidence (e.g., bank statements, blockchain transaction IDs, tax records, third-party audit). They are self-reported on Reddit, forums — unverified, anonymous, easily faked.
* The pattern is consistent with known scam behavior: allow small withdrawals first to build trust; once users invest larger sums, impose arbitrary “fees,” demands for recruitment, or freeze withdrawals altogether. Several scam-analysis write-ups of DSJ/BG note exactly this pattern. 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>
* External, independent watchdogs and scam-review websites consistently identify DSJ Exchange as unregulated, with fake dashboards / false profits, and report widespread complaints that withdrawals are blocked, delayed, or conditioned on paying extra fees. Report Scammed Funds<ref>{{cite web|title=Report Scammed Funds|url=https://reportscammedfunds.com/most-reviewed/is-dsjex-net-legitimate-or-a-scam-an-in-depth-review/|publisher=Report Scammed Funds|access-date=2026-01-21}}</ref>
* Because the platform lacks oversight by any recognized financial regulator and has no transparent accounting or third-party audits, even “successful withdrawals” don’t guarantee that funds remain safe — the operators can (and apparently do) change terms, freeze wallets, or vanish. 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>

Effectively: the claimed withdrawals — small and anecdotal — are almost certainly part of a “bait-and-switch” / “build trust early, then scamming later” strategy, not evidence of a robust, legitimate business where funds are secure.

==== 📉 Summary: No evidence of credible, large-scale reliable withdrawals ====
* There are some small-scale withdrawal claims; those may or may not be true.
* There is no credible public evidence of safe, large withdrawals completed and verified from DSJ Exchange / BG Wealth Sharing.
* Independent investigations, regulatory warnings, and user complaints strongly indicate that the system is designed to mislead, trap funds, or collapse — not to provide stable, long-term withdrawals.

If you like, I can run a blockchain-wallet / transaction-history search for addresses that are allegedly used by DSJ Exchange (if any are public/shared) — to see if there is on-chain evidence of mass withdrawals or only deposits. That sometimes reveals whether “withdraw withdrawals” are real or just site illusions.
Do you want me to attempt that now?
