None of these full-bodied promises by Ifxcapitals have been kept. Unpleasantly, the dubious business practices rather provide for disappointed traders and miserable experiences!

Ifxcapitals: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the Ifxcapitals makers is that the website does not contain any imprint with complete information about the legally responsible operators of the website. However, this is a legal obligation for companies that directly address customers on the German market. Consequently, the operators of the website have a legal obligation to provide a summonable address of the owner of the website in the imprint. If these minimum requirements of the Telemedia Act are violated by the operators of a website, this is also a cause for concern. If one looks at the corresponding domain data of the website www.ifxcapitals.com, one finds no reference to the operators there and finds that the website was only registered on 02.06.2020 and that the real domain owners are hiding behind the anonymization service NameCheap, Inc.

Ifxcapitals: who is behind it?
Answering this question will be rather difficult for many investors, as the Ifxcapitals makers do everything they can to conceal the true circumstances. However, this is not unusual, as the perpetrators often operate various of these websites with the supposedly same business model and quickly put them online, but also shut them down again just as quickly. In many cases, the top-level domain is also frequently changed, possibly also in order to deceive the financial supervisory and law enforcement authorities. And who is the operator? There is no information about this on the website www.ifxcapitals.com. When searching online, one relatively quickly comes across a warning from the Austrian Financial Market Authority FMA dated 01.09.2020: "The FMA may inform the public by means of an announcement on the Internet or in a newspaper with circulation throughout Austria that a named natural or legal person is not authorized to carry out certain banking transactions (Section 1 (1) of the Austrian Banking Act ), provided that this person has given cause for this and that informing the public is necessary and proportionate with regard to possible disadvantages to the person concerned. In an announcement published in the official gazette "Amtsblatt zur Wiener Zeitung" of 01.09.2020, the FMA therefore informs that.

It is only a matter of time until other financial supervisory authorities such as BaFin or FINMA will join the warning.

Ifxcapitals: The customer acquisition of the investment fraudsters
Here, the same approach can be found again and again: In order to attract traders, the offers of Ifxcapitals are promoted in all available media and channels. For example, advertisements are placed in social media, such as Facebook. To increase the effect, they upload movies on Youtube or Vimeo, in which interested investors 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". At the same time, an affiliate program is often started to incite others to intensively promote Ifxcapitals.

Ifxcapitals: 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 suspected fraudsters, against whom the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) also warn. Mostly the traders start with a small sum as stake. Beforehand, investors are also often motivated to install remote maintenance software, such as Anydesk or TeamViewer on their computers, so that assistance can allegedly 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?

Ifxcapitals: Repayment of the money is linked to conditions
However, an exit is then usually no longer possible, rather a repayment of the money is linked to further deposits. This is where the employees come in, claiming alleged tax debts and commission payments. These would have to be settled first, then it would come to the disbursement of the allegedly obtained profits. For this purpose, tax and commission statements are sent to the investors, which are often decorated with fake emblems and, of course, have to be paid urgently. A settlement with the supposedly achieved profits is, however, never possible. If one refuses these further deposits, the supposed profits are often turned into losses and the customer is harmed to the maximum. However, this is usually not the end of the horror, but the investors are often permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers, which indicates that the contact details of the investors are further traded among the investment scammers. In the end, the "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!

Ifxcapitals: scheme of investment fraud?

Such failures have enabled the investment fraud in the first place.
