The warnings
The UK Watchdog FCA issued an investor warning against the scam broker LincolnFX (www.lincolnfx.capital) in January 2020 and the Spanish regulator CNMV issued another warning in February 2020. The scam is operated by Lincolnfx.capital Ltd and a clone of an FCA-authorized financial institution. It’s still online on August 5, 2020. The FinTelegram Research team has received documents from some of the scam’s victims and thus has taken a closer look. Consequently, facilitating payment processors like Plus Exchange or Titan Payments as well as interesting connections have been identified.
The LincolnFX‘s scam is also performed via brokerage apps in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The LincolnFX platforms can be traced back to a company called “The Change Ltd.” Connected with The Change Ltd is the Australian Zurich Group PTY. Ltd which operates its own broker scam ZurixCorp under the domain www.zurixcorp.com. Lawyers in Germany have warned against ZurixCorp and The Change Ltd for some time.
Facilitating payment processors
This ZurixCorp scam broker again works with the same payment processors as LincolnFX. Both have implemented “The Change” and “Plus.exchange” as well as “Titan Payments” as payment options for its client-victims. Additionally, a platform called Paiid (www.paiid.io) is also listed as a payment processor, which in turn belongs to “The Change Ltd” according to its terms and conditions.
If you select the payment processor “The Change” in either scam, you will be led via the URL https://paymentspage.com/the-change/ to the Estonian payment processor Plus.exchange (www.plus.exchange). This crypto exchange and payment platform is operated by COINHI QN OÜ (see corporate information) with one of the worthless Estonian Crypto licenses.
If you choose Payments Titan, you will be directed to the website associated with the domain www.paymentstitan.com. Apparently, it is a Polish payment processor operated by BDIKA SP. Z.O.O. purportedly licensed by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (“KNF”) with number MIP53 / 2020. For bank transfers, BDIKA holds a bank account with the Lithuanian Epayblock UAB (IBAN LT023350090100022544). Epayblock is an e-money institution licensed in Lithuania which operates a payment platform under the domain www.epayblock.com.

First of all, excuse me for my english, it’s a little bad. A few days ago some person contacted me through the phone and offered me the possibility of inverts
in the financial markets. This person said me that she was working for EuropeFX broker. The arguments who explained me were very convenient and this person suggested that I should open an account on titan payments.
She indicated to me the steps to do this and she asked me for a number generated by my account. I passed this number to her. The next step was to deposit money in this account but I preferred firstly investigate a little about this. After read this article I understand that this payment processors are a scam and the EuropeFx Broker too. This person added me in her WhatsApp and still today Contact me.
