Spread financial intelligence

German regulator BaFin has announced an investigation into the Proligon broker scam (www.proligon.com) and its operator Building Smart Systems IT SRL, registered in Romania. Our review found that potential victims can lose their money via credit and debit cards. The payment processor is the Israeli-Cypriot BridgerPay active. Just stay far away from this poorly made white label broker scam.

Scam narrative

BaFin finds that the content on the Proligon website and information and documents available to the regulator justify the assumption that the company offers unauthorized banking transactions or financial services in Germany. Potential victims are given an address in Berlin as the purported business address of the provider. However, BaFin says that it could not find evidence that the company resides at the Berlin address.

The scam attacks consumers in English, German and Italian.

We have found that Ran Cohen‘s notorious Israeli-Cypriot payment processor BridgerPay is working again for a scam operator. Of course, we cannot rule out that the scammers have only hijacked the Romanian company’s data, and in fact, another merchant is registered with BridgerPay.
