TheCoinTrust broker scam, operated by SPT Media LLC in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, is another brand of the same cybercrime network that also operated the vanished TradeVtec via different offshore entities such as Universal Services LLC and UMedia LLC. In our review on 15 July 2022, no payment option was available for deposits. Thus, we assume that TheCoinTrust broker scam may soon vanish with the clients' money. We would like to learn more about the boiler rooms and the facilitators behind the scam.
TradeVtech is an old scam acquaintance. FinTelegram issued an investor warning against the scam in early July 2021. At the time, the scam was operated by UMedia LLC a/k/a UM Media LLC in St. Vincent and the Grenadines; we uncovered BridgerPay as the scam-facilitating payment processer. In July 2021, the UK FCA issued a warning against TradeVtech; the Austrian FMA followed in August as did New Zealand FMA in October.

The News Spy fraud campaign is chasing new victims for many different scams today. Most recently, we have discovered CryptoDock. But the TradeVtech (www.tradevtech.com) scam, which is new to us, is also being promoted via the campaign today. UMedia LLC, registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, allegedly operates the scam. Upon registration with The Spy News, we are automatically redirected to the scam's cashier page, where we once again find BridgerPay as the payment processor.
