• 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.

Going back to one of previous posts in this thread, we cross checked this guy's data and company name specifically:

1615925056432.png

with this scam brand: https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/9136/www.opteck.com
OpTech was a terrible scam, never caught, operated in Bulgaria and Romania, with big offices and lots of sales staff, scam lying money hungry agents, well aware of their crimes.

Kind of similar name with this OpTech. Btw FPA states Opteck is closed? Well, it is not: https://www.opteck.biz/ works normally:

1615925256664.png


Do you want to know what happened with bulk of Opteck staff from Bulgaria, recently? Ok we'll tell you: they moved to Serbia and were commissioned to work on another brand, as well. A very 'regulated' brand owned by an old and extremely known and 'respectful' Israeli broker-tech hub, developing in the past years insanely, while covering it's scam tracks. Or so they think...

Name of that company behind everything? :) No, not yet... But now they know that we know.

And they should be worried as they can not control information flow. We will always find out.
 
New updates to this never ending scam list of fake companies and illegal trading brands that steel money (and a Hello? Action! reminder to law enforcement agencies looking into these scammers)

Although a lot has changed since pre-covid times and nowadays we all witness multiple law enforcement actions against scammers Europe wide and beyond, this one particular location, Belgrade, Serbia somehow mysteriously seems to elude the, apparently, inevitable course of things - getting investigated and arrested for cybercrime activities. Truth be told, there were some actions, exclusively initiated from FBI or Europol, involving different scams and its operators, but … seems it stopped or at least put on hold for a while. This is a complicated topic that we plan to address in the near future, in a separate (new) thread, that we believe will be quite different then your 'average' FPA scam post. Probably a bit shocking, as well.

For the time being, we here and now update the scam companies list and a few things more, to mainly remind the public that the EXPOSED SCAM(S) not only still exist, but actually develop, grow, multiply in staff and scam brands... and scam more and more. Every single day. With no repercussions of whatsoever. Now this is not acceptable and it is a shame, a disgrace.

Companies involved are already exposed in this thread, with its key people. We all have seen that e.g. Optimus Lead Management ltd became split into FAM Solutions and Axgroup ltd, etc. All have new address, a downtown office sharing rented space, as can be seen in registrar under the address part (numbers 16, 17, 19). The young Mexican lady Viridiana Hernandez Bonilla, has in the meantime opened a consulting office on hew own, currently temporarily halted:

The Lady, obviously a performing the role of so-called 'straw man' or 'monkey' (nominee holder on behalf of scam boss or bosses) holds another company in Czech Republic, that we omitted to indicate earlier, so here it is - Tizium S.R.O.

And now we shall post another proof, publicly available btw, that Axgroup solutions ltd (ex-Optimus lead management, ex-ex Exocapital Markets) is involved in scams, a cybercrime activity aimed towards steeling naïve investor's money online, via complex crime and money laundering schemes:

Here is a very nice description of Axgroup activities by their ex-employee, again publicly available at website Joberty.rs

Shouldn't this be enough for a police raid and arrests?
 
Going forward with this group of scammers, a careful search and a few hints from people around them reveals that they are quite disseminated all over and include never ending list of scam brands that appear to multiply like a virus. This is a logical course of events due to non applying of any legal remedy so far. We sincerely hope this is about to change. Let's move on.

Trades.com scam - the displayed phone number +442080897654 tells a new story:

1635933697199.png

1635934502424.png


www.dowbroker.com a mutation of already discovered Dow500 scam, not even bothering to change key information on the website:

1635934695654.png

1635934755494.png

side note: there is a DD BROKER SRL insurance broking company in Rome, Italy, we do not know if any association of what so ever.

and consequently the www.dowfx.com, most probably the first one activated from the 'Dow stream' of scam websites
1635935179224.png


All 3 still up and running. We remind here that a tech incubator previously labeled here as Oneiro seems to be a company of some sort, whose people were involved in registering websites linked to these scammers. This should be easy for the law enforcement people to check and follow up.
 
Memorizing here again the Oneiro domains:

We do not claim anything here, but aim to display a clear connection, that should be looked into. Even the mere registrants of domains are held responsible in case of frauds, cybercrime etc. Feel free to check any pending US DOJ case re some of the scammers arrested in the past years and you will see.

In the end we can add that the person initially exposed in this long thread, called Tal Penner (operator of boiler rooms and director of multiple companies involved), has yet another company registered, in Cyprus (where else:rolleyes:). Company name is ROUSTIO TRADING LTD link Business must not stop no matter what.

Connection


Apparently, one arm of the cybercrime scam organized group goes to another Mediterranean island - the Republic of Malta! This is an interesting development indeed. While Malta is not as exposed as Cyprus and to some extent was used for more sophisticated investment frauds and money laundering on a higher profile scale. However, quite a few companies have either companies registered or a full financial authority regulation over there (by the MFSA). While Malta seems not as easy as Cyprus to facilitate scams, it certainly plays its part.

First, we reverse this part of the thread:

''Stefan Nicolau, Romanian citizen, worked on BForex scam, in Romania, a terrible past proven scam (FPA review)''

BForex per information below was scam number 1, https://www.forexbrokerz.com/brokers/a3-trading-review

1635944781663.png

So, 70trades, A3Trading... more to the list. But something is missing:

1635945146248.png


So Financika, as well. A scam we know very well. Targets LATAM and Spanish (hello EU?) people every day. Has a huge office in Mexico, involved with some local crime members. Coincidently, FinTelegram has recently reported on these scam brands, but from another angle: https://fintelegram.com/introducing-the-maltese-boiler-room-operator-zp-services/
Now we can see a broader picture as well and contribute by linking scammers exposed in this thread to the vast international structure of illegal brands and boiler rooms.

Therefore, the company in Malta that acts as boiler room operator is ZP SERVICES LIMITED and it seems to work for a long time now, since 2012.

1635945425394.png


ZP Services is run by an Israeli called Liran Beni Ben-Ari.
