c4-first.ch Scam: Clone of a Geneva Wealth Manager

c4-first.ch is a wealth management website with the slogan "Where wealth takes root" that uses the address and name of C4 First Conseil et Gestion de Patrimoines SA, registered in Geneva since 2014. FINMA, Switzerland's financial supervisory authority, added the site to its warning list on 21 October 2026.

• Stated address: 1 rue du Purgatoire, 1204 Geneva, the registered address of the real company
• Portal: a client login called "Investor Desk"
• Domain: bought on 11 August 2026; its servers are in the USA, not in Switzerland

🚩 The "Selective Client Acceptance" Scheme

The "Private Wealth Mandate" page gives the visitor the feeling of applying to an exclusive bank: goals, nationality and estimated size of the relationship are asked, and then an identity document and a face photograph are requested. In schemes of this kind, an "your application has been approved" message comes with a request for a high first deposit; the identity documents collected can also be used in other frauds.
