For more than a month, the Italian regulator Consob was apparently on summer break. August is the vacation month in Italy, but a regulator should be expected to maintain supervision of the financial markets even during the vacation period, but Consob took a break of almost six weeks. On 7 September 2022, the Italian regulator ordered the black-out of five illegally operatint online traging websites, increasing the total number of black-out orders to 749. Find the list below:
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.
The German regulator BaFin has issued a warning against the INT International Traders broker scam. The operators are allegedly Finex Group Ltd and ZMARKET Ltd. On the INT International Traders platform, it is falsely claimed that the broker would be supervised by BaFin. As payment processors, we found behind Lax Exchange, AvalanchePay, Paypound, Neobanq, Kryptova, and others. However, some of the payment options have not been working in our latest review. The scam seems about to vanish with the victims' funds!
In September 2021, Spanish CNMV issued an investor warning against the Morgan FX Capital broker scam. The operator of this scam is UK-registered Preqster Ltd which already operated the vanished scams Pips500 and Preqster FX. It is controlled by the Latvian citizen Sergejs Vasiljevs and is one of the many legal entities of the so-called Latvian Racket. While Morgan FX Capital is still active, Preqster Ltd has been dissolved via a compulsory strike-off in Nov 2021. Stay away from Morgan FX Capital.
Today, the Spanish regulator CNMV has issued a warning against the Morgan FX Capital (www.morganfxcapital.com) broker scam. The operator of this scam is UK-registered Preqster Ltd which already operated the vanished scams Pips500 (www.pips500.com) and Preqster FX (www.preqsterFX.com). It is controlled by the Latvian citizen Sergejs Vasiljevs and is one of the many legal entities of the so-called Latvian Racket. n our review today, none of Morgan FX Capital's payment options worked.
We have learned from an insider a/k/a whistleblower that Latvian Racket and its scammer network have recently launched Profit Swiss (www.profitswiss.com). The scam is apparently attacking consumers in Eastern Europe in the first place. Although the website states a company called PS Global Int Ltd with the company number 109781 as the operator, Preqster Ltd, already known from the Latvian Racket environment, and/or its beneficial owners are probably also involved.
Italian regulator Consob ordered the blackout of the websites of Pips500 broker scam (www.pips500.com). This site is a scam and is allegedly operated by the UK-registered Preqster Ltd. This entity is operated and controlled by Latvian citizen Sergejs Vasiljevs and is part of the Latvian Racket. This company also appears as the operator of the scam forex broker Preqster FX (www.preqsterfx.com). The latter apparently targets Turkish investors exclusively and claims that the operator is Australian ASIC-regulated PQ Invest Pty Ltd.
We issued an investor warning against the XFinances a/k/a eXFinances broker scam a few days ago. Now the Spanish regulator CNMV has also issued a warning against the scam. This scam is operated by Finex Group Ltd, registered in the United Kingdom. According to our findings, this scam is part of the Latvian Racket, a European cybercrime organization with a diverse portfolio of scam activities, including the licensed payment services provider Isunext in Estonia.
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.
