Recently, we have issued warnings against the broker scams FX-Capitalize (www.fxcapitalize.com) and FXQuote247 (www.fxquote247.com). Lacari Group Ltd, registered in St. Vincent & the Grenadines, allegedly operates these scams. This offshore entity also operated the vanished scam proFXCredit (www.profxcredit.com). The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued an investor warning against the FXQuote247 scam and states the address of a Bulgarian boiler room.

The Trade Com Racket is believed to have a headquarters in Albania. JPM Capitals, ProfxCredit, FMA Crypto, Coinmond, GlobalSpotFX, Spotfinex, FXonspot, and TopEuroFX are part of the racket. In January and August 2020, the UK FCA issued investor warnings against the FXonspot scam; in September 2020, the Spanish CNMV followed. The racket offers the trading app TopEuroFX for free download in the Google store. As facilitating payment processors, we have recently discovered Payecards, the Estonian Woodstock OÜ, the UK Cashaa Technologies Ltd, and Net Kantor.

We have recently discovered the licensed Estonian crypto payment processor Woodstock OÜ as a payment processor in the Trade Com scams network with GlobalSpotFX, Spotfinex, FXonspot, or TopEuroFX. These scams' victims deposited money through Woodstock's bank accounts with Lithuanian financial institutions Finolita Unio UAB, GlobalNetInt UAB, the Maltese Secure Trading Financial Services Limited, and crypto exchanges. Woodstock is controlled by Marianna Charalampous and does not even have a functioning website.

Recently we have received complaints of victims of the FX-Capitalize broker scam operating with the domain www.fxcapitalize.com by Lacari Group Ltd, St. Vincent & the Grenadines. This offshore entity also operated the FXQuote247 (www.fxquote247.com) scam and operated vanished scams such as proFXCredit (www.profxcredit.com). Currently, no deposits are possible at FX-Capitalize and FXQuote247. The scam seems to be ready to disappear.

We have already warned several times about the broker scam 27ProQuote (a/k/a ProQuote27). This was active until a few weeks ago and has defrauded many victims of probably several million euros. Deposits of the customer-victims were also processed via the Maltese ApcoPay (see FinTelegram report here). We have received information that the same scammers are now operating the proFXCredit scam under the domain www.profxcredit.com via a Lacari Group Ltd. Currently, we are still investigating but warn all investors against proFXCredit.
