And again! BridgerPay facilitates illegally operating broker NATA Trading

We actually strive almost 24/7 to capture the incoming scam messages in our database, analyze them and make the cross-connections. It is almost a Sisyphean task. The number of reported scams that come in every day we can carefully record in our database, but we can't report on every single scam. Today we receive a report from a victim of the illegally operating NATA Trade broker. Allegedly, the broker is operated by NATA Trade Limited. What is certain is that the payment facilitator is once again Ran Cohen's Israeli-Cypriot BridgerPay.

Investor Warning – Cryptrader broker scam facilitated by PayWize

Limassol is firmly in the hands of Israeli FinTech entrepreneurs. Without them, CySEC would probably be bankrupt tomorrow, and Cyprus would lose its main source of revenue. This includes the official fees that CIFs have to pay and the penalties that these CIFs have to pay frequently. They flow into the state budget. However, there is fierce competition within the Israeli FinTech community, such as between Ran Cohen and his BridgerPay and Amit Klatchko and his Praxis Cashier. We discovered both along with PayWize as payment facilitators in the Cryptrader scam.

Investor Warning – KadoCapital broker scam facilitated by Praxis Cashier

The KadoCapital scam attacks consumers in German and English with the Japanese approach with the slogan "The Art of Finance." The scam is actually a poorly done white label mutation.
