Excentral-int: Groundless assertions on the website www.excentral-int.com!
What do stunned visitors read on Excentral-int.com? "From some of the lowest spreads in the industry, to great trading platforms (our own online Excentral-intr and of course the versatile MT4), to tons of educational material including free webinars that will take you from zero to hero." and further "We have partnered with some of the most successful and leading service providers to bring you an unmatched trading experience. We are also operated by a regulated investment firm, OM BRIDGE (PTY) LTD." That's just one small example of the questionable assurances investors can find on Excentral-int's website. Hardly any of these promises made by Excentral-int have been fulfilled. Sadly, if anything, the dubious business practices make for unhappy investors and bad experiences!

Excentral-int: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the Excentral-int 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 Excentral-int's website, you will not find any information about the operators. However, one learns that the domain was registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC as recently as 2019-08-09. The real domain owners are hiding behind the US anonymization service Domains By Proxy, LLC.

Excentral-int: who is behind it?
Answering this question will be rather difficult for many investors, as the Excentral-int makers do everything they can 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 Excentral-int website there is only sparse information about this. It states the operating company OM BRIDGE (PTY) Ltd with the business address Unit 6C3, 159 Rivonia Rd, Sinosteel Plaza, Morningside Ext 39, Sandton, Gauteng, 2146, South Africa. In addition, there is the obligatory support mail address and the South African phone number +271 05 951261.

Excentral-int: The customer acquisition of the investment scammers
The same procedure can be found here again and again: In order to gain customers, Excentral-int recommendations are presented in all available media and channels. Often these recommendations are false information. Furthermore, they upload image films on Youtube or Vimeo, in which prospective customers 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". In parallel, an affiliate program is often started to motivate others to beat the advertising drum for Excentral-int.

Excentral-int: 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 their 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 in order to entice the customer to place further high stakes. In some cases, even small sums are returned in order to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to further increase the stakes? But what happens next?

Excentral-int: repayment of the money is linked to conditions
Once in, exit is mostly impossible. Rather, the administrators of the investment scammers tie a 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 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!
