The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) has issued a warning against FinexTrader broker scam, part of the so-called Latvian Racket. It is allegedly operated by the Finex Group Ltd, which has already operated the now disappeared scams XFINANCES, eXFINANCES, and ZurichInvests. The Latvian Aleksejs Kohanovs is registered as the controlling person in the UK Companies Register. As payment processors, we have discovered ChargeMoney and HighIsk. Stay far away.
We just opened the Latvian Racket Case. One of its members is Pavels Krasovskis, the UBO of the licensed Estonian crypto payment processor Isunext. Until December 2020, he was also associated with the UK-registered e-commerce merchant K.L.A. Enterprises Ltd, which operates a portfolio of identical websites selling e-book subscriptions and the scam site www.greatoffers.email. Our educated guess is that this company is also an illegal "undercover" payment processor.
We ask for the support of our whistleblowers to supplement the information we have and to be able to create complete profiles from it. In the last few days, we have discovered two scams, Zurich Invests (here) and XFinances (here), where MisterBit of Cristiano Chiarugi, licensed in Estonia as a crypto payment processor, acted as payment facilitators. Also, we have received information suggesting a connection between MisterBit and Estonian Isunext.
The XFinances broker scam was operated with domain www.xfinances.com until a few weeks ago and received some negative reviews. After that, it was switched to the currently active domain, www.exfinances.com. A tellinge name, isn't it? The scam is allegedly operated by FINEX GROUP LTD, which claims to be regulated by Swiss Financial Securities (SFINS) and Markets Financial Authority (MFA). Bullshit is this; these are no regulators! As payment processors, we have again the Estonian crypto payment processor MisterBit.
