Reporting scam brokers

Scam Broker Check 🛡️
1

DFG500 (dfg500.com and dfg500.net) appears to be a direct continuation or rebranding of the well-known scam operation Di-Fi Global, which is already flagged on BrokerChooser as unsafe. After the Di-Fi Global domains went offline, these new DFG500 domains appeared and started directing users to the same type of fake trading interface.

On Trustpilot there are two separate profiles pretending to represent different entities (“Webtrader DFG500” allegedly US-based, and “DFG500” allegedly UK-based), but both lead to the exact same platform:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: https://webtrader.dfg500.com/login

This strongly indicates that these are not independent companies, but simply new front-end domains for the same fraudulent organisation.

The platform is unregulated, misleading, and follows the same operational pattern as Di-Fi Global (already classified as a scam).
Please review and classify DFG500 accordingly to help prevent further victims.

I can provide additional evidence if needed.

Hi there! I’m Nuri AI, jumping in with a quick AI-generated response until BrokerChooser Staff members can join the discussion.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It sounds like you’ve done some thorough research on DFG500, and your findings are indeed concerning. Here are a few points to consider:

  1. Rebranding Tactics: Scammers often rebrand and create new domains to continue their operations after being flagged. This seems to be the case with DFG500 following Di-Fi Global.

  2. Fake Trading Interfaces: The use of identical trading interfaces across different domains is a red flag, indicating a lack of legitimacy and potential fraudulent activity.

  3. Trustpilot Profiles: Multiple profiles claiming different locations but leading to the same platform suggest an attempt to mislead and confuse potential investors.

  4. Unregulated Platform: Always ensure that a broker is regulated by a reputable financial authority. Unregulated platforms pose significant risks.

  5. Evidence Collection: If you have additional evidence, it would be beneficial for the BrokerChooser team to review it to take appropriate action.

For anyone considering investing with DFG500, I recommend extreme caution. If you haven’t opened an account yet, watch out for:

  • Guarantees of high returns with no risk
  • Pressure to invest
  • Contact through unofficial channels like Telegram or WhatsApp

If you suspect you’ve been scammed, please be aware that recovering funds is complex and often unsuccessful. Check out this article for more information: How to recover your funds when scammed.

Thank you for reaching out and for sharing such a clear and detailed report about DFG500.

Based on the information you provided — including the apparent link to the previously flagged Di-Fi Global operation, the reuse of a very similar (or identical) trading interface, and the duplicate Trustpilot profiles both directing users to the same webtrader.dfg500.com login page — your concerns are absolutely valid and we take them very seriously.

To better assess and classify DFG500, it would be very helpful if you could share any additional evidence you have, for example:

  • Screenshots of the trading platform and account dashboard

  • Copies or screenshots of emails, WhatsApp/Telegram messages, or call logs with their “account managers” or support

  • Proof of deposits and any attempted or blocked withdrawals

  • Any misleading claims or guarantees they made (e.g. “risk-free”, “guaranteed profits”, fake licenses, etc.)

This kind of documentation is extremely valuable when verifying whether a platform is part of an organised scam operation and when justifying a public warning.

In the meantime, we strongly advise anyone involved with DFG500 (or similar clones of Di-Fi Global) to:

  • Avoid depositing any further funds

  • Stop granting remote access to their devices or banking apps

  • Be very cautious about “recovery” offers, as these are often scams as well

Thank you again for taking the time to report this – contributions like yours genuinely help prevent further victims.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your detailed reply and for taking DFG500 seriously.

Just to clarify: I do not have a personal account with DFG500. My direct victim experience is with Di-Fi Global, which disappeared recently. However, based on what I see on dfg500.com / dfg500.net and their webtrader, I am strongly convinced that the same operators are behind both brands.

I can share the following types of evidence:

  • Screenshots of the Di-Fi Global trading platform and account history, which use an interface almost identical to the current DFG500 webtrader.

  • Email and WhatsApp communication with their “account managers” (pressure to deposit, bonus manipulation, blocked withdrawals, misleading statements about swaps, etc.).

  • Bank transfer confirmations showing deposits sent to Bulgarian and Lithuanian bank accounts.

  • Screenshots from dfg500.net showing the fake Comoros “AOFA” license text, which matches the licensing pattern used by other related scam brokers.

  • Trustpilot evidence: my own reviews about Di-Fi Global and the pattern of Italian 5-star reviewers who posted for both Di-Fi Global and “Webtrader DFG500”, suggesting a coordinated fake-review network.

If this is useful, I can send these materials in several batches (e.g. PDFs with screenshots plus short explanations for each). Please let me know if you prefer inline images or attachments.

Thanks again for your help – I really believe this can prevent further victims.

Thank you if you send it.

Hi Chris,

As discussed, I am sending five ZIP files with structured evidence related to Di-Fi Global and its successor domains (DFG500).

Each ZIP contains clearly labelled files and a short “Explanation” document describing the contents:

  1. Chronology of events

  2. Monetary statements (deposits, bonuses, withdrawals)

  3. Margin calls and account collapses

  4. Platform screenshots and comparison with DFG500

  5. Bank transfer instructions (Spain, Bulgaria, Lithuania)

If you need any additional clarification or further material, let me know.

Hi Chris,

I tried attaching the full evidence package, but the platform only allows image uploads.

I have prepared a structured set of evidence (5 ZIP files: chronology, monetary statements, margin calls, platform comparison with DFG500, and bank transfer instructions).

Please let me know the best way to share the full package (e.g. secure upload link, email address, or staged image uploads).

I can also upload key screenshots here first if that helps.

Thank you for preparing and summarising the evidence package.

Unfortunately, our platform currently only supports image uploads and does not allow us to download ZIP files or access external attachments. That said, we will take the information you’ve already provided in your earlier messages into account during our review.

Regards,

Chris

Dear Chris,

following up on our previous correspondence, I would like to provide documented evidence of continuity between Di-Fi Global and DFG500, based entirely on the companies’ own published statements.
Please find supporting screenshots attached to this email.

1) Identical legal entity and license claim

On Trustpilot, Di-Fi Global states (company-written section):

“Di-Fi Global is the trading name of Connect Global, a registered entity in the Union of the Comoros under company number 15903, authorized by the Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) and holding an International Brokerage and Clearing House License (L15903/CG).”

On the official DFG500 website (About Us / footer), the company states the same information verbatim:

  • Trading name: Connect Global

  • Jurisdiction: Union of the Comoros

  • Company number: 15903

  • Regulator: Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA)

  • License: International Brokerage and Clearing House License – L15903/CG

This wording and licensing reference appear identically in both brands, which is documented in the attached screenshots.

2) Same regulatory narrative, different brand

While the Di-Fi Global website is no longer accessible, DFG500 now presents the same entity, jurisdiction and license number, indicating a brand replacement rather than a newly established company.

3) User impact and operational continuity

User reports on Trustpilot (including my own) describe identical operational patterns (initial profits, small withdrawals, pressure to reinvest, followed by account depletion), consistent with a continuation rather than a new operation.

Conclusion

Based on:

  • identical company name (Connect Global),

  • identical jurisdiction (Union of the Comoros),

  • identical company number (15903),

  • identical claimed license (L15903/CG),

  • and documented operational similarities,

DFG500 represents a rebranded continuation of Di-Fi Global, not an independent entity.

All statements above are supported by the attached screenshots. I am happy to provide archived links or additional material if required.

Kind regards
