AFM warns Dutch consumers about suspected boiler room Metacasp (metacasp.com)

What happened

The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) published a warning dated 10 November 2026 telling consumers not to respond to offers from Metacasp. The AFM says the company is presumed to be a boiler room, a form of online investment fraud. It lists the name metacasp.com Ltd, an address at Liebigstrasse 24, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, telephone number +31 341 821 305, email addresses cases@metacasp.com and support@metacasp.com, and the domain https://metacasp.com/.

How the scam works

The AFM describes a boiler room as a form of online investment fraud. Typical approaches include cold calls, social media messages or emails that push a time-limited investment, then pressure the person to deposit funds into a platform that later shows impressive paper profits and demands more money or a fee before any withdrawal.

The AFM tells consumers not to respond to offers from the named firm. Contact details in a warning can be incorrect or can belong to someone else, so they should not be used as proof that a firm is genuine. Check any investment offer against the AFM's warning list and register, and do not send money or share identity documents because an unsolicited caller asked you to.

The AFM's boiler-room warnings exist because recovery is often impossible once funds have left a consumer's account. If Metacasp, or anyone using those contact details, has already been in touch, keep records of the calls and do not continue the conversation on a number they provide.
