Investor Warning Against IdealInvestFX Broker Scam And Its Payment Processors!

On May 23, 2022, Italian regulator Consob ordered the blackout of IdealInvestFX's website for Italian consumers. We took a closer look at this scam to discover the payment processors and partners involved. The alleged operator Extraprime Ltd in London does not exist. This is likely to be a fake company. As the governing law, Australia is stated. As payment processors, we have exposed Moonpay and SysPay a/k/a SysPG. IdealnvestFX is a member of the fake regulators ERSIC and IRMA.

Finally! German BaFin follows FinTelegram and investigates CentoGX

FinTelegram has issued several warnings against the CentoGX a/k/a Cento GX (www.centogx.com) broker scam in recent months. The fraud broker has recently focused on acquiring German-speaking victims with a dedicated website. The Spanish regulator CNMV already issued a warning in October 2021. The German BaFin has now announced an investigation into the CentoGX scam. It was also high time, but the German regulator is not known for its speed.

Attention! Another warning against Finomarkets broker scam!

We have already warned against the Finomarkets (www.finomarkets.com) scam several times. A few weeks ago, the Spanish regulator CNMV warned, and now the UK FCA issued an investor warning. The Finomarkets website does not specify an operator or a competent jurisdiction. Coinicash is the facilitating payment processor for credit and debit card payments with Texcent and AdvCash, who process the payments. Victims’ deposits are represented and miscoded as purchases of cryptocurrencies on the Coinicash exchange.

Wellington Holdings, Solid Invest, and the huge Capital Letter scam network

It is indeed a huge scam network. Scams will typically either take offshore companies or simply invent fake companies. Only rarely, they are operated by companies in Europe as is the case with the Capital Letter scam network. Capital Letter GmbH, registered in Munich, Germany was the operator of several large scams until the end of 2020. In addition, two other companies also registered in Germany, Brunnlitz GmbH and Tokkata Software GmbH, participated in the scams. All three companies are operated by Ukrainian individuals; all received warnings from regulators.

Alert! Wellington Holdings scam facilitated by SysPay, Coinicash, and AdvCash

The Swiss regulator FINMA has recently issued an investor warning against the Wellington Holdings scam (www.wellingtonholdings.com). The scam operators do not disclose any information about the legal entity or persons but give Bleicherweg 10 in 8002 Zurich, Switzerland, as the address. This is bullshit, says FINMA. As a payment processor, we once again found SysPay, regulated by the Maltese regulator MFSA, in criminal collusion with Coinicash and AdvCash. We also noticed this combination most recently in the Cento GX scam.

Investor warning – FinoMarkets facilitated by Coinicash, AdvCash, and Texcent

Spanish financial markets authority CNMV issued a warning against FinoMarkets on September 13, 2021. The scam's website does not specify an operator or a competent jurisdiction. However, we have again Coinicash acting as a payment processor for credit and debit card payments. Coinicash is again facilitating in its capacity as a registered merchant with Texcent and AdvCash, who actually process the payments. Victims' deposits are apparently represented and miscoded as purchases of cryptocurrencies on the Coinicash exchange.

Maltese SysPay, Coinicash, and AdvCash facilitate the Gento GX scam and others

It is no secret that we consider scam-facilitating payment processors to be much more dangerous than the scams themselves. These payment processors make the scammer scene possible; they are the facilitators of the fraud attacks on consumers and retail investors. Many crypto payment processors have been established in recent years, giving the high-risk and scam-facilitating scene another boost. In many cases, crypto payment processors hold bank accounts with regulated institutions to facilitate scams like Coinicash, AdvCash, and PaySys in the Cento GX scam.
