afstrusteeswiss.com – Scam Misusing the AFS Trustee Swiss Name

The name of AFS Trustee Swiss SA, which manages trusts and foundations in Carouge near Geneva, is being used to set up market and trading platforms across three separate domain names. FINMA added these addresses to its warning list on 27 August 2026.

🌐 Three Domain Names and Registration Dates

• afs-swiss.com — registered in February 2026.
• afstrusteeswiss.com — registered in June 2026; the home page is live under the title "AFS Trustee Swiss SA".
• afstrustee.com — registered in June 2026.

The site owner is not registered in the Swiss commercial register. The FINMA warning entry stresses that these addresses have no connection with the real AFS Trustee Swiss SA, registered in Carouge under number CHE-259.470.740.

⚠️ Trading Scheme Under a Trustee Identity

The real company does not act as an investment intermediary; it works in company formation and foundation management. The imitation sites combine this trusted Swiss identity with "markets" and "trading" pages. In operations of this kind the investor is shown a balance that grows on the dashboard; when a withdrawal is requested, new payments are demanded on grounds such as tax, commission or verification fees. The close similarity of the domain names makes it possible to continue from another one when one is shut down.

🧭 The Legal Route for a Victim

In its decision of 21.11.2023 (Docket No. E.2021/11724, Decision No. K.2023/10076), the 7th Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation examined a case in which two separate domain names were found to be the same site and the unauthorised leveraged transaction activity was dealt with together; changing the domain name does not make the activity separate. In cases of this kind, the process roughly runs as follows:

1. All domain names and payment channels are set out as parts of a single operation.
2. After the complaint, the stages from investigation to indictmentTR follow.
3. A restitution and unjust enrichment claimTR is assessed against the holders of the accounts the money passed through.
