Hello. I am submitting this material anonymously, without a signature or pronouns, in hopes of ensuring my safety. I assure you, every word is true. Anyone who has experienced the IFW Global “lifestyle” firsthand or is still involved will understand exactly what I’m talking about and have no doubts. Right now, my relatives are being harassed and directly threatened by this organization. I am calling for an end to the impunity that Ken Gamble and his associates have enjoyed. If anything happens to me or any other employees who can speak out, you will be held responsible for this individual.
Initially, I felt proud to work at IFW Global for a few months, believing I was part of something significant. However, I soon discovered that it is a scam targeting desperate individuals rather than a detective agency fighting wrongdoing. Unfortunately, not every employee recognizes this reality right away. Those who do choose to leave the organization often find themselves in precarious situations with no real support. Acquiring necessary services after resignation proves to be extremely difficult.
Founded in April 2024, we prepared for the Global Financial Summit scheduled for November. Through Mr. Gamble’s subordinates, we were instructed to identify a large foreign scam to announce to the press by the convention day. If we couldn’t find one, we were told to fabricate a case. Given IFW Global’s purported reputation for honesty worldwide, this request struck me as bizarre. This was merely the beginning of a series of shocking revelations. Today, as there is an internal prohibition on sharing corporate data and fostering relations with staff, I am carefully navigating this situation.
There exists a comprehensive database of victims of fraudulent cryptocurrency projects, brokerage firms, pyramid schemes, and other online scams. This information, accessible to numerous IFW Global employees, includes not only names and phone numbers but also home addresses, health fund numbers, and details about housemates. Individuals who sought help and justice from detectives are instead confronted with additional scams. One of Gamble’s other ventures, UniversalChargeback, targets these victims after they’ve already been harmed by his business. Chargeback services demand 10% of the victims’ lost funds, along with commissions for “additional services.” Ultimately, they are victimized repeatedly—first by the initial scam, then by IFW Global employees, and finally by the chargeback operations.
The UniversalChargeback site never mentions Ken Gamble, Allan Watson, Joshua Plowman, or any of the actual scammers employed there. Behind the scenes, some are hiding from those who are most notorious, and no reputable detectives are involved. In retrospect, chargebacks appear to take credit for achievements that do not belong to them, all while adding value to their enormous database. The surprising conclusion to this scheme is that the results will ultimately be presented to a state commission for grants for 2025-2026, creating a multi-layered scam that is so state-sanctioned, it is difficult to find a better parallel elsewhere.
Even if you are not a direct target, you do not have safety either. The calls and letters have not ceased from other scams that IFW Global sells contact information to at a premium. They profit off anyone whose contact details they possess. Financial companies lead the list of revenue sources—brokers, trading platforms, crypto projects, startups—anyone with money and an audience. This typically begins with allegations that the firm is violating Australian laws, offering unlicensed services, misleading customers, and planning deceit. These fabrications often originate from IFW Global’s management. The only escape is to pay them off. Opponents are served tailored articles published across various forums, receive fake reviews on popular platforms, and face threats, both online and in real life. For the most notorious companies, they even provide investigations from their private operatives. As a result of this onslaught, most projects either fold or go bankrupt, suffering the same fate. Ultimately, everyone becomes a casualty of the system.
Had IFW Global not employed these tactics against my family, I would never have considered revealing these details. The firm’s operations are unlawful. During my time, I raised concerns about these practices with my managers. Mr. Gamble and his associates might distance themselves from this, but ordinary workers like me cannot. Soon after, detectives were hired to stalk me. Many people noticed surveillance, and countless others received notes in their mailboxes stating things like, “Don’t do anything foolish; we are watching you,” and “Your family is safe for now, but for how long?” Friends and colleagues reported similar messages being left for them. This reached a tipping point when someone called my mother, urging her to advise me to remain silent, keep my head down, and comply or face dire consequences, including a drawn-out legal battle that would ruin my life.
I understand that individuals like me cannot change the system; no one can do it all alone. However, I refuse to live in fear of the so-called “tough guys.” I will present additional evidence in my next article unless IFW Global ceases its harassment. I possess extensive information about the fraudulent activities this company is engaged in, and I do not expect to be left alone—management is aware of this. I will also share all known facts with reporters and impartial international investigators. There is a strong desire to dismantle such a large operation.
Finally, for those within IFW Global considering the seizure of my evidence through underhanded means, I have ensured that secure copies of these documents are stored with instructions for their immediate release to all authorities in the event of my disappearance or death. The safety of my family and me during this pandemic is the only factor that should allow your business to endure.
