Threat Profile
AFSBank (clone of AFS Group B.V.) (https://afsbp.net) positions itself as a digital-asset brokerage targeting everyday investors. Our analysts opened a case file after the platform surfaced in fraud-pattern monitoring.
Regulatory Posture
On the regulatory side, AFSBank (clone of AFS Group B.V.) provides no verifiable licensing details. We could not match the operator to any recognised financial regulator, and the absence of a supervising authority means deposits carry no statutory safeguard.
On-Chain & Operational Notes
From a forensic standpoint, deposits routed to operators like AFSBank (clone of AFS Group B.V.) are typically swept quickly through intermediary wallets and into mixing services or high-risk exchanges. Acting early – before funds are layered – materially affects what can be traced.
Indicators We Flagged
- Crypto-only deposits that bypass chargeback protections
- Opaque corporate identity and unverifiable team or address
- Offshore or shell-company structure used to obscure ownership
- Withdrawal friction reported – delays, surprise ‘fees’, or frozen balances
CryptoCISO Risk Verdict
On balance, AFSBank (clone of AFS Group B.V.) carries a severe risk profile. The evidence points away from a legitimate, supervised brokerage and toward an operation structured to retain deposits.
If Your Funds Are Exposed
If you have funds with this platform, stop sending additional deposits immediately and do not pay any ‘release’, ‘tax’, or ‘verification’ fee requested to unlock a withdrawal – these are themselves part of the fraud. Preserve everything: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, chat logs, and the account dashboard. The sooner the on-chain trail is documented, the more options remain.
