FCA warning against Bitcoin Revolution acting as Introducing Broker for CySEC regulated CIFs and Scam Brokers

Spread financial intelligence

The UK regulator FCA issued a warning against Bitcoin Revolution (www.bitcoinrevolution.org) on December 9, 2020. This website is allegedly operated by Profitoro Ltd and apparently acts as an Introducing Broker (IB) for a number of regulated and unregulated brokers. In our reviews, we were redirected to ForexTB, Horizon Invest, and Trade360 upon registration with Bitcoin Revolution. The registration process with the respective brokers is automatically handled by Bitcoin Revolution.

  • Horizon Invest is offered under the domain www.horizoninvest.cc This is a non-licensed broker and obviously a scam. Horizon Invest is a white label solution of the Bulgarian Global CRM Solution which is also used by the PumaTS scam network. As a payment processor, the Russian Piastrix is integrated.
  • ForexTB or FXTB is a CySEC licensed broker with CIF No 272/15 and uses the domain www.forextb.com.
  • The broker Trade360 is operated by Crowd Tech Ltd, an investment company licensed by CySEC with the CIF No 202/13, under the domain www.trade360.com.

The Bitcoin Revolution scam is actually very easy to recognize. Unfortunately, however, naive investors fall for such scams again and again. If you have information about Bitcoin Revolution or other scams, their operators and their payment processors, we would be happy if you would share this information with us.
