Spain's financial regulator has slapped OmegaPro with a second fraud warning, signaling that authorities across the globe are closing in on one of the world's most brazen investment scams.
The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores issued its first warning in January 2020. The second came on March 28th, targeting how OmegaPro pushes its scheme to Spanish investors through the domains omegaproltd.com and myomegapro.com. The latter domain is registered to David Contreras, who listed a Bogota, Colombia address. The omegaproltd.com domain went private on June 16th, 2021.
OmegaPro's pitch is simple and illegal: a 200% return on investment with minimal effort. That promise qualifies as a securities offering, which means the company must register with regulators before operating. OmegaPro has done no such thing. Instead, it operates as a Ponzi scheme, funneling money from new recruits to earlier investors while the operators pocket the difference.
Promoting this scheme in Spain is itself a crime. The CNMV made clear that OmegaPro LTD is not authorized to provide any investment services under Spanish law.
This is not Spain's fight alone. Mauritius, Argentina, Colombia, France, Peru, Belgium, and Chile have all issued similar warnings. Yet the scheme persists, drawing most of its traffic from Colombia at 27%, followed by Venezuela and Nigeria at 12% each. Until recently, Japan was a major recruitment ground, though activity there has dried up this month.
Three men run the operation from Dubai: Andreas Szakacs, Mike Sims, and Dilawar Singh. The choice of location is no accident. Dubai's skeletal regulatory framework and weak extradition treaties make it an ideal hideout for operators of MLM scams. The city has earned its reputation as the MLM scam capital of the world, offering criminals the protection they need to keep their schemes afloat while regulators worldwide scramble to shut them down.
