Common Questions
How do I know if a trading website is a scam?
Look for unregulated brokers, pressure to deposit quickly, and no verifiable company address. Check whether the platform appears in any financial regulator’s warning list. If the site promises guaranteed returns or blocks withdrawals, treat it as fraudulent until proven otherwise.
The website claims to be regulated. Can I trust that?
Not without checking. Scam platforms routinely copy the names and licence numbers of real regulated firms. Go directly to the official regulator’s website, search the firm name and number, and confirm the web address matches exactly. A copied logo proves nothing.
I already sent money to a suspicious platform. What should I do now?
Stop sending funds immediately, even if the platform claims you need to pay fees to access your account. Document everything: screenshots of the website, transaction records, and all correspondence. You can submit a report here and be connected with an independent legal adviser who assists with filing complaints to regulators and authorities.
What kinds of fraudulent websites does this site cover?
The site covers fake or unregulated brokers, bogus cryptocurrency exchanges, and fraudulent investment platforms that operate through a web address. If you were directed to a website that took your money and is now restricting access or demanding more payment, it falls within scope.
How It Works
01
Search the Platform
Enter the website address or platform name into the search tool. Published reports detail known scam tactics, regulatory status, and documented complaints from other users.
02
Submit Your Report
If your platform is not yet listed, submit the details through the contact form. Every submission is reviewed and may be published as a documented warning for other visitors.
03
Connect with Legal Advisers
Visitors who have been defrauded can be connected with independent legal advisers and lawyers. They assist with filing formal reports to financial regulators and the relevant authorities.
Why Independent Reviews Matter
Fraudulent trading websites are designed to look credible. They copy branding from regulated firms, publish fabricated testimonials, and use professional layouts to build false confidence. An independent documented record cuts through that. When a platform has been reported by multiple users and cross-checked against regulator databases, the pattern becomes clear before more people are harmed.
