FINMA warns of Neidhart & Manhart Holdings – fraud via nm-holdings.info?
The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA has listed Neidhart & Manhart Holdings on its warning list since March 2026. The email domain nm-holdings.info shows a striking similarity to the listed domain.
FINMA warning against Neidhart & Manhart Holdings – investigation into nm-holdings.info
As anwalt24.de reports, the domain nm-holdings.info is currently no longer an active company website but is displayed as a parked domain. According to domain listings, nm-holdings.info was only newly registered in June 2025. The owner is not publicly identifiable.
Strong name similarity to FINMA warning list
Particularly striking is the similarity to nm-holding.com – the domain of Neidhart & Manhart Holdings. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA added this provider to its official warning list on 4 March 2026. The authority explicitly names Neidhart & Manhart Holdings, the address Schärenmoosstrasse 77, 8052 Zurich, and the domain nm-holding.com. According to FINMA, there is no trade register entry for the company.
FINMA has not yet explicitly mentioned the domain nm-holdings.info. It is therefore legally necessary to distinguish clearly between the two addresses. A direct equation would not be justified without further evidence.
No verifiable person behind the email address
For the email address [email protected], according to current research, no reliable publicly accessible information can be found about a real person named Mario Schelerth who demonstrably works for a regulated financial company under this domain. According to legal experts' assessment, the name in an email signature alone is not sufficient to establish an identity.
Investors should be able to understand which natural person and which company they are communicating with. It should be verifiable in particular whether the company is regulated, whether a trade register number and legal representative are specified, and whether a verifiable company website exists.
Neidhart & Manhart Holdings: platform without register entry
Neidhart & Manhart Holdings appeared under nm-holding.com as a provider of online trading and asset management services. The website cited a Zurich address and a Swiss telephone number. The platform also claimed to have been active since 2011 and to have managed thousands of traders. However, FINMA clearly classifies the provider on its warning list: no trade register entry, no authorisation as a regulated financial service provider.
Lookalike domains as a known pattern
So-called lookalike domains are known from other cases of online investment fraud. Internet addresses are registered that look very similar to a known domain in order to create the impression for recipients that they are continuing to communicate with the same company. The only difference between nm-holding.com and nm-holdings.info is an additional "s" – easy for consumers to overlook.
Whether this is actually the background for nm-holdings.info cannot currently be definitively determined. The deviation is particularly relevant if an investor was initially registered via nm-holding.com and was subsequently contacted from an address with the domain nm-holdings.info.
Parked domain and disappeared web presence
nm-holdings.info currently does not lead to an active financial company. Instead, the address is displayed as a general information and sales page. ScamAdviser points out that the original website is apparently no longer available. Technically, the domain is managed via Namecheap infrastructure; the owner remains hidden.
A parked domain does not in itself prove fraud. However, if an investor was contacted a short time ago by an alleged financial company using precisely this domain, the now-disappeared web presence constitutes a relevant circumstance. Emails, attachments and complete mail headers should therefore be secured immediately.
FINMA warning as central regulatory finding
The most significant objective finding comes from FINMA. The inclusion of Neidhart & Manhart Holdings on the warning list on 4 March 2026 is not a general internet comment but a concrete regulatory notice. The platform operated with a Swiss company profile, cited the address Schärenmoosstrasse 77, 8052 Zurich and a Swiss telephone number – but was not registered in the commercial register.
For [email protected], no traceable connection to a regulated financial service provider can currently be established. Anyone who has been contacted via this address regarding investments, payments or additional payments should seek legal advice.
