On August 10, 2026, the Austrian Financial Market Authority warned against offers from “Quantum AI” – distributed via a website whose address has nothing to do with the brand name. What is proven is why similar names should not be equated and what steps those affected should consider.
“Quantum AI” is one of the best-known names used to advertise supposedly AI-supported automated trading in German-speaking countries. The name has been appearing in advertisements, fake news articles and videos for years. In August 2026, the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) published a warning.
What the FMA has published
On August 10, 2026, the FMA warned against offers from “Quantum AI”. After publication, the offers were distributed via the website univormel.sbs. According to the FMA, the provider does not have the necessary authorization to provide the advertised financial services in Austria.
It is noteworthy that the brand name and internet address have nothing to do with each other. Anyone who searches for “Quantum AI” will not find the website warned by the name. This is not an isolated case with such offers: the brand is used in advertisements and the technical address changes frequently.
Similar names are not the same
BaFin's collective report of May 30, 2025 on websites with "AI trading" contains two addresses with similar names: quantum-incomepro.com (Quantum Income Pro) and quantumtradeai.co (Quantum Trade AI). These addresses are independent entries. It is not proven whether there is a connection between them and “Quantum AI”. A similar name does not constitute proof of a common operator.
How contact with such offers usually arises
When it comes to offers of this type, those affected often tell us the same thing: an advertisement or an alleged news article in which a well-known personality appears to be promoting the product; a registration form with telephone number; Shortly afterwards, I received a call from an “advisor” who urged me to make my first deposit. Further deposits are then made by card, transfer to foreign accounts or in cryptocurrency. This description is a general experience and not a statement of fact about any specific website.
What those affected can do now
- No further payments – not even for alleged taxes, fees or activations.
- Save documents: payment receipts, bank statements, chat histories, screenshots of the customer account and the advertising that created the contact.
- Inform your bank or card issuer and have them check the options for a chargeback.
- file a criminal complaint; Additionally report the process to the supervisory authority.
- Be careful when making subsequent contacts from alleged return services - there is a risk of second damage.
Legal options
Claims against the provider itself are often difficult to enforce because those responsible are not accessible. Claims against the holders of the recipient accounts, against the payment service providers or crypto exchanges involved and, in certain constellations, against your own bank also come into consideration. The official determination that a permit is missing can be an important component. Which claims exist in each individual case must be checked based on the payment methods and documents.
Conclusion
There has been a warning from the FMA regarding “Quantum AI” since August 10, 2026. Anyone who has deposited money into this or a similarly named offer should stop further payments, secure documents and have the case examined - without hastily lumping similar names together.
