The Clone Firm
Fraudsters copy the name, logo, and real license number of a legitimately authorised broker, then set up a near-identical website to intercept deposits.
Red flags
Any one of these is enough to stop and verify before you send money.
What to look for
- Contact details or domain differ from the official register
- Pressure to pay to a personal or third-party account
- License number that belongs to a differently-named company
What to do
Always find the license on the regulator's own website and cross-check the contact details there — never trust the details printed on the broker's site.
