equifid-sa.com Scam: Clone Site Misusing the Equifid SA Name

The site equifid-sa.com uses the name of an asset management company that genuinely operates in Switzerland, and presents itself as "asset management in Lugano". It is a clone site. The Swiss financial authority FINMA added the site to its warning list on 23 October 2026 and stated clearly that it has no connection with the real Equifid SA in Lugano.

In short: equifid-sa.com is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK), and the real Equifid SA has no connection with this scheme; its name is being misused. The title of an established company is used to give an offer of portfolio management credibility. Legal routes exist for claiming the transferred money back.

🚩 How Does a Clone Asset Management Site Work?

In schemes of this kind, the name, city and registry impression of the real company are copied, and the investor is offered a "portfolio managed under Swiss assurance". The money is requested into accounts unrelated to the company; the balance that grows on the dashboard then runs into a tax, insurance or "account verification" fee at the withdrawal stage.
