The WorldMarkets investment scam (www.worldmarkets.com) has been active since 2019 and has probably harmed tens of thousands of customers since then. The scam has been facilitated by illegal payment processors in a wide range of jurisdictions. In March 2021, the German regulator BaFin issued a Cease-and-Desist Order against FAD Berlin Consult UG, one of the illegal payment processors of WorldMarkets. However, the scam was online until a few weeks ago. Let us do some forensic work together.
WorldMarkets is a huge investment scam that has been active for years. We have reported about it several times. Financial market regulators like the UK FCA have issued warnings against the WorldMarkets scheme. However, the fact is that WorldMarkets is still active. In doing so, the scam works with a wide variety of ever-changing payment processors. Most recently, victims have reported to us that they have transferred payments to the bank account of the Polish public relations company Wolfs Trading Blockchain Technology S.A.
