Another warning against PandaTS-powered broker scam Finaz.io!

On 1 March 2022, the Spanish CNMV issued a warning against the broker scam Finaz.io. According to the website, the operator would be Finaz.io Ltd, an offshore entity registered in the Marshall Islands. Finaz.io runs as a white-label mutation on the Israeli PandaTS platform.

European law enforcement agents recently arrested 15 suspects in Albania, allegedly connected to this cybercrime organization.

Investor Warning – Broker scams TradesRun, 24tradex, BGold Capital, and their Balkan boiler rooms

The TradesRun broker has been operated under several domains by several offshore entities such as Evergo Ltd, Marshall Islands. So were 24tradex and BGold Capital scams.

The truth is, that these scams are operated by the Albanian boiler room of 3 FID Tech (a/k/a 3fidtech), owned by the Albanian Brisilda Duraku, who is also the (former?) beneficial owner of Global-Tech DOO in Belgrade. This boiler room company is the criminal entity behind many scams such as Brokerz, Tradixa a/k/a Tradi-Xa, Globalixx, Golden-CFD, and many more.
