FinTelegram has already issued a warning against Portrades broker scam in January 2023. The scam is still operating with various domains and is operated through the offshore company Signix Ltd in the Marshall Islands. Bulgarian companies Luko Solutions and Tera Solutions are payment processors for the victims' credit/debit card payments. Stay far away and protect your financial health.
In January 2023, FinTelegram warned against the broker scam Portrades, operated through Bulgarian boiler rooms and the offshore entity Signix Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands. Bulgarian Tera Solutions was the payment agent. As a payment facilitator, we have once again discovered ShinePays, which processes victims' credit/debit card deposits. We hear that Portrades vanished with the victims' money, and they did not pay their affiliates.
Most recently, we uncovered the anonymously operating payment gateway ShinePays in the Portrades broker scam. However, in recent years, we have discovered ShinePays as a facilitating payment gateway in many other broker scams. There is no official website. We suspect that the gateway is associated with another payment processor. It connects to the high-risk payment processor and merchant service provider Pacific Pay. We would like to know more about the background of ShinePays.
