• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

I am having an issue with a company
Hi, no - the domain does not work, but they are related. Not just by mere name, although it would be indicative enough, all given. See for your self, public data again:

Parogan is another big boiler room, already exposed. So, she is in the business. Now you will probably ask where does it link to Optimus Lead/Exxoglobe? Ok, maybe not a perfect example. Try this one:

Partially fake details, non existing Lux office indicated. But, Education-the indicated school does not exist in Lux. It does, by exact name, in Belgrade, though. Still not convinced? Ok, check her endorsements:

Optimus Lead agent endorses her in Sales. Second one is also Optimus Lead agent:

a bit more, Bulgarian branch included:

Most probably a regulated Varchev Finance EOOD, Varna, Bulgaria, 186 VLADISLAV VARNENCHIK BLVD, FLOOR 3, OFFICE 4.035

Is this sufficient?

It is probably much more complex than simple reporting. It's a big question if agents worldwide even understand that they are a part of a scam. Some do for sure, but many do not, we suspect. Scam operators often lie and mislead its employees as well. Perhaps it really is an FXNet business partner who went rogue, nobody really knows? They don't really have a good reputation on FPA reviews... here we focus on accurate exposure, let's not be the judge and the jury. FPA Trader's Court is sufficient. Any further actions are on reader's discretion, as long as they are withing legal boundaries.
 
Re: '' FPA Forums Team Note: The Trades.com site was hacked. Hacking is a crime. The FPA prefers to not host images which were placed by criminals. ''

Scam Reporters note: None of the people around us or anyone we know has committed this offense (hacking a website), we would never engage in any sort of illegal activities. We only assume it is someone within that scam group or perhaps a rival group, aiming to damage ''competition''. Could be a former employee, as there are many with quite bad experiences. We repeat clearly here again, we are not a part of that in any way. We will keep exposing scam brokers and unfair brokers fact-based only. And the fact is someone did expose the operator/owner. It's an occupational hazard, comes with the territory in illicit business.

The data is 100% correct, in line with whistle blowers information and it stays online:

Trades.com website snapshot June 2020

People were stolen their money (wire fraud, white collar crime). Hacking would be a misdemeanor at most, compared to what they all do for a living every single day. We will comply with the FPA rules, since we want to be a part of this great community.
 
UPDATE:

TRADES.COM changed skin and has new cloths. At least it doesn't look cheap any more. Well, not that much.


But it's still the same scam behind, run by one Tal Pener and his OPTIMUS LEAD MANAGEMENT DOO as exposed.

For how long-depends on authorities. And they are always slow. Everywhere.
Never mind. A slow kill is still a kill, hunters say...
 
++++ continuation to finish +++++

A clever setup indeed. Except for this part - Tradesfinancial.com Back to Belgrade, Serbia again:

Meet another spin off - FAM Solutions DOO. Owner, another Mexican citizen, Mr Fernando Avila Martinez.
Company director, appointed, Mr Avraham Or Abizmil. All public records, verified info. Company's current address is displayed, but was recently changed from initial and true one, identical to both Exxoglobe and Optimus Lead (it's the same building, office well hidden inside): Belgrade, Gavrila Principa no.57 (Cyrillic original: Гаврила Принципа 57)
View attachment 54311
View attachment 54312

We believe all exposed is fact based and proper intel is fairly checked. We also make a note of the one final fact: whoever hacked that scam website trades.com (probably not a client, maybe unhappy employee, who knows?) exposed Tal Penner as scam beneficial owner or at least an operator, indicating his Croatian cell phone number (remember deposit declaration in HRK, company in Croatia - now it makes good sense, at least) Mr Penner has yet another company that he directly controls, in the UK (surprise, surprise)
TP2 Development Ltd:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/IHyBQI_oLDsNUFVh6fb8th0e1hw/appointments
One easily sees its the same person as passport slapped across scam website in full resolution. Born 1977, Hungarian citizenship (wow, double surprise), per UK Companies House, a Dutch citizen (triple surprise), per HU passport, born in Israel, Peteh-Tikva (just near Tel Aviv). No surprise actually. England, Hungary,Netherlands, Israel, Eastern European countries. Standard setup for years. The wheel of fortune turns, doesn't it?

We thank local whistle blowers in several Balkan countries for brave, unselfish and ethical, quick and extensive help, much appreciated. We also believe this exposes fully the scam groups, or at least nearly 100%. So what is left?

Read, report to authorities (police namely) in your countries (here we suggest insisting on Europol/Eurojust liaison via local law enforcement in victim countries of origin), engage your selves and chase your money back. It was stolen, per undisclosed website hacker, not lost. And we fully agree.

One more boiler room down, moving on to the next one. We promise you that. Thank you FPA for making this possible and available to the public, in the very best interest of damaged investors worldwide.

# An Update and a Warning re FAM SOLUTIONS DOO #

It has come to our attention that Optimus Lead boiler room spin-off called FAM SOLUTIONS DOO (details already exposed in this thread), controlled by by Israeli AVRAHAM OR ABIZMIL (IL passport number 22532601), email: pockts579@gmail.com, managed (as a nominee owner) by
Fernando Avila Martinez (fernando@tradesfinancial.com)
started hiring staff. This means that Optimus boiler room is exposed and linked to scams, so it's time for a new 'company'. Creative and inventive. Seen and done million times before. Obviously, as scam agents have scam scripts to follow (since they lack brain), so do scam operators. Copy-paste solutions, implying they seriously lack brain as well. Closing down one company and opening a new one at the exact same place/address is stupid move, guys. There is another reason, though. Besides serious lack of intelligence, greed is their main driver. The cheap kind. So, if the office in exact same address (Gavrila Principa street number 57) is already rented to Optimus til, lets say, end of this year, with mandatory monthly rent and penalty in case of early rent cancelling, heaven forbid if they had to pay a cent extra or unnecessary. These are the 'manners' of most of the scammers. It's what they essentially are-millions in pockets, will fight you over 5 bucks easy.

New job post for Fam Solutions doo (nominally registered as business support company, but also other services):

1597180285823.png

1597180393974.png

We cannot help wondering - how exactly does a support office in the backoffice contribute to the Sales Team targets, unless he is obstructing withdrawals on their scam trade websites Trades.com and Simpletrades.com? Maybe his bonuses will come from any stopped/waived withdrawal...

This Mr Abizmil has another small support company on the same market, in his own name: link, currently on hold due to covid19 situation (why pay anything if one can avoid it). Such companies are usually used for money flow or other similar purposes (other business activities not else classified, sounds familiar ;)).

Big question is: when exactly will any authorities finally step in this scam scene, in general, not just this low-level one?
Big answer is: sooner then most of them think, if they think about it at all.
 
New scam website to be added and a few interesting notes to support this thread statements

Another 'trade website' called Eurotrades should be added here, on scam list: https://www.eurotrades.com/
Operator is well known Trade Up Ltd, Marshal Islands (they allegedly do pay-per-click and SEO, however most of their T&C is filled with trading-related issues.
1597436529258.png

1597437094921.png

This dummy-company, a scam boutique, operated many scams: http://tradeupltd.com/ , http://tradeupltd.com/terms_conditions.html and is in Marshal Islands. Ok....
1597437548040.png

...but, if one needs to address them officially, then it's Vanuatu? Fine. We all love tropical islands...
1597437729949.png


We remind the readers that they operated:
- FGS Markets link,
- Trades.com
- Simpletrades.com

At least the two latter were operated directly in Optimus Lead Management boiler room. Eurotrades possibly in FAM Solutions, but maybe in Optimus. In any way, there is very little room for any mistake. They are all there and are operated every day. Operator owners and local manager/co-owner are exposed in this thread.
Trade Up ltd has an interesting domain details: https://domainbigdata.com/tradeupltd.com
1597438045272.png

So we move from exotic to Eastern Europe - Romania. 2017 MH incorporation coincides more less with RO domain registration.
Now, here's a funny thing - when checking the abuse report of the listed IP address 185.144.81.78, you'll see that some Romanian branch of M247 Ltd (https://m247.com/), a UK company. In Romania (the one in the IP registrar) the address is: ''Fabrica de Glucoza, Nr 11B, etaj 1, Sector 2, Bucuresti, Romania''
Whey you list all the IPs handled by M247 Ltd Romania (here), you get, among a lot of others:
1597438694077.png

Why is it important? Because that's the country where the boiler room is, that Optimus scam office. Secure Internet Llc offer such services to many, so scammers are just a client to them.
1597438745498.png

What's the catch re this Securely Internet Llc anyway? This:
1597438890612.png

No boiler room operates without firewall device and a strong VPN. If they do, they are just plain stupid (has happened in the past, though). Card swipes, client account tackling, hacking, etc ...and the most important of all: when a boiler room opens and obtains an internet provider anywhere in the world, first thing they do is find an intermediary provider to the actual internet provider, to hide their IP well. This is almost a must.

About time someone close them down.
