There is no homepage selling anything. The address leads straight to a login. That tells you how people arrive: not by searching, but because someone on the phone gave them the link and the login details. The platform is the back office of a call centre.
How a boiler room works
A friendly caller says you can make good returns with expert help. You open an account, deposit a small amount and see it grow. Then come bigger deposits, pressure to act fast, and finally a reason you cannot withdraw yet. The AFM’s boiler room list exists because this pattern repeats hundreds of times a year.
Signs you are dealing with the same group
Boiler rooms rarely use one site. The people who called you about GooeyTrade may later call again from a different name, sometimes claiming to be a recovery firm or a regulator who can get your money back for a fee. That second call is part of the same scam. A real regulator never asks you for money to release funds.
The domain gooeytrade.com has existed since 4 July 2023, which tells you this setup has been running for years with the same login screen. Keep a written record of every call: date, time, number and the name used. That record is useful to the police and to your bank, and it helps you spot the next approach before you trust it.
