FinTelegram has already warned several times against the PandaTS white-label scam stoxDC broker scam chasing new customers mainly via fraudulent marketing campaigns. In our initial review in February 2022, with the support of whistleblowers, we were also able to expose the supporting payment facilitators AdvCash and SysPay a/k/a SysPG, which we most recently also found in the IdealInvestFX broker scam. Since our review, the payment processors are no longer shown. Deposits are only possible by contacting the account manager beforehand. Stay far away from stoxDC!

The narrative
stoxDC is another illegal broker on the PandaTS white-label broker platform. Heimdall Developments Ltd, registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica, allegedly operates the scheme. The payment gateway is operated by the anonymous Hong Kong-based SysPG (https://syspg.net). Customers can make deposits using credit and debit cards and AdvCash. For deposits via AdvCash, Website2 (https://website2.website) is acting as a fake merchant. We were alerted by a victim of the stoxDC broker scam that this and other broker scams until recently operated under the same PandaTS Vendor ID.
The noteworthy thing about stoxDC and the documents provided by a whistleblower is that they prove that PandaTS operates many illegal brokers and broker scams. Moreover, the information suggests that the very same PandaTS clients operate a portfolio of illicit PandaTS broker platforms. The Israelis Mahor Lahav and Shmuel Gutman are the well-known owners of PandaTS.
It is also interesting that deposits from stoxDC victims are settled through the Belize-registered payment processor Advanced Cash Limited d/b/a AdvCash via the fake merchant Website2. The website provides the Indian phone number +91 8527758839 for contact purposes.
