Attention! Do not fall for OnspotBNK facilitated by BridgerPay and CoinDeck!

Spread financial intelligence

OnspotBNK is an offshore broker and a scam. OnspotBNK Limited, allegedly regulated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) with license number 40133/17, would be the operator. However, we have found neither the license number nor the company in the register of the VFSC. Instead, we found that the DubaiFXM and DBFX broker are connected. The same perpetrators are behind these schemes and many more. Once again, BridgerPay and Jubiter a/k/a CoindDeck came to our attention as payment processors. Stay very far away and protect your money.

The narrative

As the facilitating payment processors of OnspotBKN, we have once again discovered the Cypriot Israeli BridgerPay by Ran Cohen as well as the Slovakian licensed CoinDeck (screenshot left).

The OnspotBNK broker scheme apparently belongs to a network that also operated DubaiFXM or DBFX among others. The DBFX Limited (previously Dubai FXM Limited has been registered in Vanuato in 2017 with the company number 40133/17. Thus, it does not need a rocket scientist to conclude the OnspotBNK is related to this Vanuatu company (screenshot right).

The boiler room connections

We have already elaborated on this in our report in November 2021 that, at least for a certain period, the boiler rooms were operated by Gennaro Lanza‘s Maltese Capital Solutions Ltd. Through this boiler room operator, other offshore brokers such as NewFX, DBFX, or DB Investing were also operated. We know that scams always come in a swarm. The perpetrators operate with significant fixed costs for their boiler rooms and need corresponding economies of scale.

Connections to FCA-regulated broker?

Another interesting thing we found in our OnspotBNK and DBFX reviews on May 2, 2022, was that there is a link to the FCA-regulated broker OneFinancialMarkets. Honestly, we don’t know the details but on the deposit pages of OnspotBNK and DBFX, after making the deposit requet, the browser establishes a connection to the website www.onefinancialmarkets.com to present the payment options. Maybe the FCA broker is used as a payment processor? Our guess may or may not be correct! Stay tuned for our respective report.
