Alfa Prime Markets: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the Alfa Prime Markets makers is that the website does not contain an imprint. Thus, the complete information about the legally responsible operators of the website is missing. If you take a look at the domain data of the Alfa Prime Markets website, you will not find any information about the operators. However, one learns that the domain was registered with NameCheap, Inc. only on June 29, 2021. The real domain owners hide behind the anonymization service Withheld for Privacy ehf.

Alfa Prime Markets: Who is behind it?
Answering this question will be rather difficult for many investors, as the Alfa Prime Markets makers do everything to conceal the true circumstances. However, this is nothing unusual. The perpetrators mostly operate several of these websites with the same fraudulent business model. These are created in advance, quickly put online, and just as quickly shut down. The top-level domain is often changed to deceive financial regulators and law enforcement agencies. But who is the operator? On the Alfa Prime Markets website, there is only scanty information about this. The company Mia Group LLC. with the business address First Floor, First St. Vincent Bank Ltd. Building James Street, Kingstown, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines is stated, but the makers of Alfa Prime Markets cannot be found under this address. In addition, there is the obligatory support e-mail address and the telephone number +41215303124. The worldwide search for Alfa Prime Markets in the relevant registers leads to no result. This makes it clear that this is a pure fantasy product.

Alfa Prime Markets: The customer acquisition of the investment fraudsters
Here again and again the same proceeding is found: To win investors, the offers of Alfa Prime Markets are propagated in all available media and channels. Often the offers are false information. To reinforce the deception, they upload videos on Youtube in which interested parties are convinced with false references. Here, supposed celebrities report on their experiences with online trading and cryptocurrencies, often with a misleading reference to the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen". With the same goal, an affiliate program is often launched to incite others to intensively promote Alfa Prime Markets.

Alfa Prime Markets: Criminal business practices
As soon as the customer has registered on the trading platform, he receives calls from alleged financial brokers who like to refer to their years of experience and satisfied customer base. In many cases, however, the makers of this business model are fraudsters, against whom the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) also warn. Usually, the investors start with a small sum as employment. Beforehand, investors are also often motivated to install remote maintenance software, such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer on their computers, so that assistance can supposedly be provided with the first steps. In many cases, the computer is subsequently manipulated and unwanted transactions are carried out. In the process, the investment fraudsters also frequently gain access to their victims' online banking. What is particularly criminal, however, is when supposed profits are displayed on the trading platform to entice the customer to place further high stakes. In some cases, even small sums are returned to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to increase the stakes further? But what happens next?

Alfa Prime Markets: Repayment of money is subject to conditions
Once in, exit is mostly impossible. Rather, the administrators of the investment scammers tie the repayment of the money to further deposits. This is where employees come in, claiming alleged tax debts and commission payments. If these are settled, it would come to the disbursement of the allegedly obtained profits. The perpetrators send the investors self-made tax and commission statements, often decorated with fake coats of arms. These would have to be paid urgently. A clearing with the allegedly obtained profits is never possible. If an investor refuses further deposits, alleged profits are converted by senseless transactions into losses and the customer is maximally damaged. This is not the end of the horror, but investors are permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers. This indicates that the contact details of the investors are further traded among the investment fraudsters. In the end, a "savior" regularly comes forward, claiming to have uncovered the whole scam. He impresses with his insider knowledge. No wonder, since he is part of the fraud gang. The next rip-off! And of course, the "savior" wants a small fee - in advance!
