The WorldMarkets investment scam (www.worldmarkets.com) has been active since 2019 and has probably harmed tens of thousands of customers since then. The scam has been facilitated by illegal payment processors in a wide range of jurisdictions. In March 2021, the German regulator BaFin issued a Cease-and-Desist Order against FAD Berlin Consult UG, one of the illegal payment processors of WorldMarkets. However, the scam was online until a few weeks ago. Let us do some forensic work together.
WorldMarkets is a huge investment scam that has been active for years. We have reported about it several times. Financial market regulators like the UK FCA have issued warnings against the WorldMarkets scheme. However, the fact is that WorldMarkets is still active. In doing so, the scam works with a wide variety of ever-changing payment processors. Most recently, victims have reported to us that they have transferred payments to the bank account of the Polish public relations company Wolfs Trading Blockchain Technology S.A.
The truth is, the WorldMarkets broker scam already collapsed into a Zombie. It has been active since 2019, harming tens of thousands of customers. The scam cooperated with illegal payment processors in a wide range of jurisdictions. A Cease-and-Desist Order issued by the German BaFin against the illegal payment processor FAD Berlin Consult UG just became final. Crypto partner SwiftXChange already closed down in October 2020.
There is no doubt! WorldMarkets was and is a highly toxic scam that has very cleverly sold itself to investors via active reputation management. Recently we had a discussion with TrustPilot about our scam warning on the review platform. The already reported problems with payouts persist while announced payment partner SwiftXChange ceased its trading activities.

It was a fight! Last week, FinTelegram News was contacted Trustpilot which informed us that a review on WorldMarkets had been removed. WaMeng Ltd as the alleged operator of WorldMarkets had complained about alleged defamation by the review. The review had only factually pointed out that regulators warn against the WorldMarkets scheme. After discussions with Trustpilot our review is back online.
The WorldMarkets investment scam is a perpetual theme. The investment scam has apparently come to stay. But in the meantime, the obvious scam is a hunted one. FinTelegram regularly discloses the new account data and warns investors about investments. We have already been punished for this by WorldMarkets with threats of legal action and defamation. We can live with this as long as we protect investors. Today we expose another illegal payment processor or beneficiary.
We would like to thank our whistleblowers for their continued support and dedication. It is them that actually bring life to our investor protection mission. Recently, one of our whistleblowers got in contact with the WorldMarkets (aka World Markets) scheme and asked a number of questions. One of the questions was who the responsible people behind WorldMarkets would be. The answer was that a certain Tim Armstrong would be responsible for the business as Vice President. In fact, a link to a corresponding LinkedIn profile was also submitted.
We would like to thank again all the participating whistleblowers who forward us emails from scam operators with payment data. This enables us to publish corresponding warnings to protect potential victims. Today we received again information on bank accounts of illegally acting payment processors for the WorlMarkets scheem.
A few days ago, FinTelegram reported another bank account connection of the huge WorldMarkets Scam. Specifically, it was about an account of the Polish Net Kantor at the Polish BNP Paribas. Now we were contacted by the Net Kantor people. In the statement to FinTelegram News Net Kantor states that they would be a serious and licensed crypto payment processor. The account (Reference/Note: 1059) mentioned in the article would have been frozen immediately and investigations would now be carried out against the respective customer.
It is always embarrassing how long some scams last despite many warnings. Even more astonishing is the fact that banks and payment processors can be found again and again to support these scams with their services. One of these amazing cases is the Broker Scam Worldmarkets. Under this really first-class domain a scam is operated since at least 2018 and has already ripped off thousands of small investors.
