Warning: Misuse of Our Company Name

​

Unauthorised communications in the name of T&F Trade & Finance Ges.m.b.H.

​

We are aware of several cases in which unknown third parties have misused our company name, address, logo and, in some instances, the name of our Managing Director. These individuals operate under names including “Financial-Selection” and “Financial Selection” and falsely claim to represent our company. They promise payouts of alleged trading account balances and send purported contracts, powers of attorney, invoices or guarantees.

​

These activities have neither been initiated nor authorised by us. Our company has no department called “Financial-Selection”.

​

How to recognise suspicious communications

​

In the cases reported to us, individuals have been contacted by telephone or email. Typical warning signs include:

​

• offers to arrange a purported “trading account transfer” or the payout of a substantial account balance;

• requests to pay a commission, fee or “trading commission” in connection with the proposed transaction;

• demands for payment in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or USDT;

• documents displaying our company name or logo;

• repeated calls and pressure to sign documents or make payments at short notice.

​

The use of our company details or references to public business directories does not establish any connection with our company.

​

What to do if you suspect fraud

​

Do not make payments or sign documents in response to such communications until you have independently verified their authenticity with us.

​

Do not provide the individuals concerned with copies of identity documents, passwords, online banking credentials or security codes. Do not grant them remote access to your computer or mobile phone.

​

For verification, use only the contact details published on our official website under “Contact” or in our legal notice. Do not use telephone numbers or links contained in the suspicious message.

​

Keep all emails, attachments, messages, telephone numbers and any payment records. If you suspect fraud, we recommend reporting the matter to the police. If you have already transferred money, contact your bank or the payment service provider you used immediately.

​

We are taking action against this misuse

​

Through our legal representatives, we have filed a criminal complaint with the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office concerning similar incidents.

​

If you receive a suspicious message in our name, you may forward it to us for review using the contact details published on our website. Please do not send us passwords or other access credentials.

​

Thank you for helping us identify further incidents at an early stage.
