Why is Zoom allowing meetings that promote an investment scheme with multiple global fraud warnings?
Why is Zoom allowing meetings that promote an investment scheme with multiple global fraud warnings?
I’m raising a serious Trust & Safety concern about the continued use of Zoom to host live meetings promoting BG Wealth Sharing / DSJEX, an investment scheme that has received multiple official government and regulatory warnings across several countries.
This is not speculation or online rumor. These are formal advisories issued by financial regulators, warning the public that this operation is unauthorised, unregistered, and in some jurisdictions explicitly described as having the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme.
Despite this, Zoom continues to host recurring, highly structured meetings used to promote the scheme as an income or investment opportunity.
These meetings follow a consistent pattern:
-
Recruitment-focused presentations
-
Fear-of-missing-out messaging
-
Staged testimonials
-
Controlled participation with no meaningful opportunity for challenge or dissent
-
Encouragement to deposit funds and recruit others
This creates real and foreseeable financial harm, particularly for vulnerable communities.

Zoom policy concern
Zoom’s Acceptable Use Guidelines explicitly prohibit the use of the platform to promote unauthorised or illegal investment and multi-level marketing schemes:
https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/acceptable-use-guidelines/#ebook-nav-illegal-or-certain-regulated-goods-or-services
Based on publicly available regulatory findings, BG Wealth Sharing meets that definition:
-
Recruitment-driven
-
Promoted as an income/investment opportunity
-
Subject to multiple regulator warnings
-
Lacking proper authorisation
Questions Zoom should address
-
Why are meetings promoting an operation with six global government fraud warnings still allowed on Zoom?
-
What safeguards exist to prevent Zoom being used to facilitate large-scale financial harm?
-
How does Zoom reconcile this activity with its own Acceptable Use Guidelines?
This is not a request for Zoom to rely on opinion or speculation. The evidence is public, official, and verifiable.
At minimum, this activity appears to warrant escalation and review under Zoom’s Trust & Safety and compliance processes.
I’m raising this here so the wider community can understand how platform enforcement decisions are made when government-flagged investment schemes are involved.
