UBS Trading Platform Scam: Misusing the UBS Name

The "UBS Ticaret Platformu" (UBS Trading Platform) uses the abbreviation of the world-famous Swiss bank and presents itself as an investment and foreign exchange account app. A user who deposited money from May 2026 described the experience in June, and it shows a classic "pay before you withdraw" scheme.

🚩 The Four-Stage Payment Chain

A new condition appearing after every payment shows that the money will never be allowed to be withdrawn.

🔍 WhatsApp and the "e-Dövizci" (Online Currency Dealer)

Communication was carried out over WhatsApp; the app's live support kept directing the user to the same person, who introduced himself as an "e-dövizci" (online currency dealer). It was also reported that this person's name appeared on the screen when the app was opened. The common domain names carrying the platform's name are not registered; the scheme may be operating only through an app link.

⚖️ How It Differs from the Real UBS and UBS Markets

UBS is a real bank and has no connection with this app. Fraud committed by pretending to be linked to a bank is a qualified offence under Article 158/1-d of the Turkish Penal Code. The UBS Markets & LVSP caseTR that we covered earlier was a different scheme that operated through a share club.

🧭 The Legal Process

Through the accounts to which the payments went, the routes for a refund are assessed; in such cases a money laundering linkTR also often comes onto the agenda.
