Compliance Issue
On a negative note, we found Oobit as a payment facilitator in several broker scams such as ExpressFX (here) or StakingTrades (here). Clients (victims) of these scams were forwarded to oobit for deposits via credit cards. They are supposed to buy cryptocurrencies with credit cards, which are then sent to the scammers’ wallets.
