Welcome to our Reina Options Investment in which we investigate the website currently found at reinaoptionsinvestment.com.
On March 22, 2023 we came across the following Better Business Bureau report by an Alaska, USA person who claims being scammed for $3,000 by a cryptocurrency scam known as Reina Options investments. They write:
I had been following Reina Options investments for over a year, and they contacted me about making an investment. They wanted an investment of $1000 to start off with, but I told them I didn’t have it and had to save up.
They contacted me a couple of months later and said $500 would be a good starting amount, so I could see what they do and how fast my investment can grow. I gave them $500, and a few days later, it tripled. They then started asking for more, and I got sucked in.
At the time, I was in a vulnerable and desperate state and needed the money. They funneled the money through Crypto.com and a trading website called Binary24Trading. They wanted a 20% commission that was supposed to come out of my profits.
When I asked for my investment back, they wanted me to pay $6000 out of pocket to get my profit and investment. That was when I knew that I had made a big mistake.
So what is Reina Options investments and is it a SCAM?

ReinaOptions Investment is also known for its partnership with the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, promoting gender equity and women empowerment. (We could not find any mention of “Reina” on cherieblairfoundation.org.)
There’s a Testimonials page on the site, which shows that Reina’s clients have given positive reviews, however the images of “the customers,” seem to be fake and were taken from other websites.
She writes: “As a fully regulated and entrusted broker, I can help you achieve your goals on your terms, not someone else’s.” However, no proof of regulation is provided.
Since she’s in the US, we need to be able to confirm her regulation at brokercheck.finra.org, but she is not listed there, therefore not regulated.
On LinkedIn, Reina Alberto is an Account Manager at Reina Option Investment, a successful alternative investment manager with assets under management of $2 billion that uses quantitative trading applied to capital markets globally.
Links Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram from the website do not work, however we do find an Instagram profile of a Reina Alberto that is described as an entrepreneur, investor, account manager, portfolio manager, professional binary trader, and crypto expert. The profile has 125 posts, 54.4k followers, and 707 following. The post includes hashtags such as “happy new year,” “success,” “cash out,” and mentions locations like Dubai, Miami, Silicon Valley, and Madrid.
Contact Information
Reina offers a contact form and a live chat widget which reaches the WhatsApp number +1-(424) 349-1699, as reported in the BBB complaint we opened with. (424 is a Los Angeles, California, USA area code.)
The complaint mentions that the scammer’s location is Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, while the website lists a specific address: 16040 W Sunset Blvd UNIT 308, Los Angeles, CA 90272, US. This appears to be a residential address, according to Google Maps.
On November 25, 2020 they started posting a “weekly analysis,” but that seems to have lasted only 3 weeks. They even left the sample WordPress comments on their first blog post.

We opened this review with a complaint by a person who had been following Reina Options investments for over a year and eventually invested $500 after being convinced by the company. The investment tripled, and they were asked to invest more, but when they asked for their investment back, they were told they needed to pay $6000 out of pocket to receive their profit and investment. They realized they had made a mistake.
