Information was identified that linked three investment scam websites to a known Eastern European-based criminal syndicate. The websites are mobatrade.com, polarbtc.com, and libreholdings.com. These websites also operate alias websites, mobatrade.co, polarbtc.co, and libreholdings.co. They all falsely claim to be UK-based operations with VoIP phone numbers originating from the UK.

The Mobatrade website has a sleek professional design and is visually appealing. However, the first indicator that something is wrong is that they claim to have been in business for several years, despite the fact that the domain name was registered on 27 June 2022, and the .co variant was registered on 26 July 2022. The other linked website, PolarBTC and Libre Holdings are in a very similar situation where the domain and website creation dates don’t match the website’s claims.

Similar to most scam websites, there is no information relating to the company or persons operating it. This is consistent across MobaTrade, PolarBTC & LibreHoldings.

We are aware that this criminal syndicate is targeting Australian and Canadian victims (also UK and Netherlands) and they have criminally extracted millions of dollars to date. For this reason, our investigators are passionate about disrupting the operations of this syndicate. We are currently working with several international policing jurisdictions for this purpose.

    MOBATRADE 100% SCAM. I have been dealing with their numerous calls, lies and manipulation for over 3 months now. When I requested to close my account at the start of March, I heard every story in the book. Supposedly they had locked up my funds with future orders that couldn’t be cancelled so I’d have to wait to the end of the month, no future orders were ever seen. It’s now 8 May and no one answers me. The stories from 3 different people keep changing. No matter how many times I told them I wanted to close my account, all I got was lies, abuse, threats and attacks on my character about how I wasn’t the kind of person they like to do business with. I finally got a call today from finance saying they are ready to liquidate my account $23K but I need to pay them their $3K Euro first.. when I said I do t want to pay another $3k to get my money the guy was very rude and hung up on me. These people will continue to make up anything to squeeze more money out of you. Im done! Cut my losses and learn my lesson. Please DONT believe this mob, you will never see your money again. Be warned.
