In February 2022, FinTelegram warned against the StakingTrades, allegedly operated by STG CONSULT PLC or STG CAPITAL LIMITED. We have not found this company. Victims can lose their money via the licensed Estonian crypto exchange Oobit. Stay far away, and protect your money and data. Then in May, the German BaFin issued a warning against StakingTrades. Sometime in the last few weeks, the broker scam disappeared with the victims’ money. We would like to know who the operators were.

The scam narrative
There is actually no meaningful narrative around the StakingTrades broker scam. It is one of the numerous white-label mutations operated by one of the many cybercrime and boiler room organizations. In our review today, the only payment option we found was the licensed Estonian crypto exchange Oobit Technologies OÜ d/b/a Oobit (https://www.oobit.com). However, the deposit did not work in our simulation.
