BaFin follows FinTelegram and investigates vanished RocketChart broker scam

In April 2021, we issued a warning against the RocketChart broker scam that wanted to catch victims via fraudulent marketing campaigns like BitQT. Also, in German-speaking countries. It took a few months before the German regulator BaFin announced an investigation into the scam, which has since disappeared. The investigation probably won't yield much insight, but it may be enough to file a report with the relevant law enforcement agency?

Spanish regulator warns against TopIndex successor FMarketX

The Spanish regulator issued an investor warning against the FMarketX broker scam. The scam is apparently operated by Penelope Partnership Ltd, registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which was already active with the TopIndex (www.topindex.co) scam. As a payment processor, we have discovered the PayBox cashier (https://cashier.boxipay.io) as well as PayTechno d/b/a THE BEST GATEWAY. At PayTechno, Penelope Partnership Ltd is still registered as a merchant with the old TopIndex scam.

Fraudulent Bitcoin Profit campaign promotes Global Markets Association and Status Markets scams

The already well-known Bitcoin Profit fraud campaign is currently hunting for new victims of the broker scams Global Markets Association, operated by BI Level World Ltd, and Status Markets, operated by MarCo Global Projects Ltd.

The Bitcoin Profit campaign runs on the SmartInvestApp website, among others.

Update – RocketChart broker scam facilitated by PayTechno and iPayTotal

Fighting scammers and their facilitators is tought. The RocketChart scammers filed a copyright infringement report with Google and want the URL removed from Google Search results. The article would have previously appeared on the site www.write.as. For sure, FinTelegram wrote the warning. Our legal representatives have already taken the appropriate action. To us, it shows that the reports hit the scammers.

Update PayTechno – Beneficial owner from Israel, another platform, and Bulgarian offices

We are really excited to be able to rely on our loyal whistleblowers. Therefore, we have received some important information in response to our Request 4 Information (R4I). Based on KYC data, we can establish that scam-facilitating PayTechno OÜ is controlled by an Israeli citizen as its beneficial owner. Besides, we have received information about the high-risk payment Gateway ironically branded as "The Best Gateway" offering payment gateway services for high-risk online merchants. The office of the group seems to be in Sofia, Bulgaria.

R4I – Scam-facilitating licensed Estonian crypto payment processor PayTechno

We already know Igor Torsin. Don't we? The 62-year old Estonian lawyer works for Estonian company builder Eesti Firma OÜ and is a director at nine FIU-licensed Estonian crypto companies (read this report). Among them is PayTechno OÜ, supervised by the FIU with license number FVT000151. The company was registered in May 2018 and operates two domains www.cryptopaytech.com and www.paytechno.com. The latter is one of the worst scam-facilitators as a crypto payment processor. We would like to know more.

Please do not fall for it.
