Have you read positive reviews of SoftBank Invest?
If you search for SoftBank Invest on Google you may find pages saying it is a reliable platform, with "user reviews", near five-star ratings and a sign-up button. They are almost always made by the same network that pays for the ads, or by affiliates paid for every person who signs up. They are usually posted on free blogs, shared documents, forums or paid press releases. A review that ends in a sign-up form is not a review: it is part of the scam.

Frequently asked questions
Is SoftBank Invest legit?
Ads for SoftBank Invest follow the pattern of investment scams: promise profits through social media ads. No legitimate platform advertises like this. We recommend not signing up or depositing money.
Is SoftBank Invest regulated?
Always check the official register before investing. In the countries where we have seen ads for SoftBank Invest, the relevant authority is: FSA Japan (Japan). If the company behind it is not on that register, it is not authorised to offer you investments.
What should I do if I have already paid SoftBank Invest?
Do not pay anything else even if they ask for taxes or fees to withdraw, call your bank today to try to reverse the payments, uninstall any remote-access software and report it. Be wary of anyone offering to recover the money: it is usually a second scam.
Check the official register
No legitimate platform can offer investments without authorisation. Always check your country’s regulator:
Already signed up or paid?
- Do not pay anything else, even if they ask for "taxes" or "fees" to release your money.
- Call your bank today: block your card and request a chargeback or a transfer recall. The sooner, the better your chances.
- Do not install anything they ask for (AnyDesk, TeamViewer…). If you did, uninstall it and change your passwords.
- Report it to the police and your country’s regulator, and keep screenshots, emails and phone numbers.
- Beware of "fund recovery" companies that will contact you promising to get your money back for a fee: they are almost always a second scam.
