Blacklist Alert: UK FCA Warns Against 6 Unauthorized FX Brokers

Traders are being increasingly targeted by investment scams carried out via online trading platforms where fraudsters offer trades in forex, CFDs and cryptoassets. Some of these scam firms claim to be based in the UK and even claim to be FCA authorised. However, when you check the FCA register to see if they are authorised, you will often get negative results.

These firms are providing financial services or products in the UK without the FCA's authorisation. That means you will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and you are unlikely to get your money back if things go wrong.

It's a must to check a broker's regulatory status before you start to deal with it.
