Update- Linqto has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in Federal Court in Houston yesterday July,7 2025. There is an attorney looking to file class action against them, if you were an investor consider contacting Deaton Law Firm in Rhode Island. Little chance of recovering anything invested in my opinion, although it is claimed all shares are accounted for and business will continue as exits occur.

Complete scam

Complete scam - avoid. They ask for more paperwork then necessary and assets are frozen - even ones that have IPO'd. It seems like a scam to take your money and/or steal your identity. I would use Hive or equityzen or literally any other option

Update

Update: Company CEO has been replaced as an SEC investigation continues related to the violation of SEC rules about accredited investors. I’m sure these funds of ours will be locked up for a very long time without the advertised liquidity at 90 days that was advertised. I’m also pretty sure if any of these were to have an IPO we’d be screwed. Avoid this company at all costs.

It’s probably a scam

Just don’t just don’t It’s probably a scam. I need to withdraw because of concerns with my tax authorities. First I was mad that i could invest more, but after i had to request e withdrawal and was denied even after explaining the concern with the authorities i slowly started to realise that I’m just lucky for not having invested more. quite sure that I will never have my money back, only hope remaining the authority told me they will have a good look into the matter.

Something is very fishy about this…

Something is very fishy about this platform. They take tens of thousands, then "shut down" the platform. All transactions frozen.

Now, oh, we're verifying - we lost ALL of the information you provided us prior.

Ok. Now you lost all my info and you want me to resend you sensitive info? Hell no. Where the F××K is my money?

Something is very un-kosher here, and I am extremely disturbed by the developments as of late. I am NOT providing any more info to these people. I have HUGE red flags here. I advise anyone considering this platform to do their due diligence, review the experience of others and be careful in who they trust with their private equity investments.

I have lost ALL TRUST for this platform.

TL;DR: It is my personal belief that Linqto may have stolen money from me. I do not trust this platform. Caveat Emptor.

What a scam

What a scam. They should be investigated and shut down. 90 day period to hold has long passed and now some BS excuse not allowing withdrawal of funds. Valuations are ridiculous and never updated as they should be. Allowed me to invest and now claiming I’m not accredited.

Their Linqto Bucks rewards system is a total scam

I accepted the high markup on the investments on their platform, but Linqto's business practices are downright terrible.

I introduced 5 friends to their platform earning over $5000 in "Linqto Bucks" as a reward for this. Turns out, you can only use these for 10% of the value of each investment. So I'd need to invest $50000 on their platform just to use this reward.

That's an extra $50000 I'd need to invest at their high markups of more than 50%. So basically my "reward" for introducing 5 paying customers to them is for them to earn $1000s more in profit from me for using my Linqto Bucks.

Think about it...if they are so sneaky in their business practices can they be trusted as a company to invest your money with? They are greedy and deserve to fail.

Linqto is basically a scam

Linqto is basically a scam. Extremely deceptive marketing techniques to get your money. They have really long restrictions on when you can sell after you have invested in a company. They will eventually let you sell your shares, but at half their value and charge a high transaction fee.

Great idea, poor execution. Avoid!

Great idea, but poor execution. From clunky website to high fees to purchase/sell. Will have to sell at a huge loss even though the company I invested in has been gaining momentum. Wish I would have never heard of them.

Avoid this company

I think Linqto is a type of scam, my opinion.

I bought Ripple shares and when I went to sell them the price given was 50% less than the advertised buy price less 10%’commission’.

On top to this, I couldn’t get the sell buttons to work initially and was told by the support that they only buy (and enable the sell button) when there is liquidity (I.e. new money flowing in from this specific share). This seems to suggest they’re maybe rotating money rather than actually buying and selling the shares.

Definitely avoid this company as you won’t make money on it and possibly don’t have any share ownership rights.

This company is terrible

This company is terrible. Currently charging about 48 dollars a share for Ripple, but when I click sell my shares they want to give me 29 dollars a share. On top of that they take another 10 percent. I wish I never got involved with them.

Overall a Positive Experience

It was easy to get accredited and setup an account. Ordering is also very simple, all the required documents are pre-filled, and the entire process takes a couple of minutes.
