SkyFX Lost Its Licence in 2016 — Its Domain Is Now on Sale to Anyone
Verdict up front: Cyprus’s regulator ended this one in April 2016 — and the CySEC register still names www.skyfx.com as an approved domain of a licence marked Withdrawn. What should worry you is what happened next: the domain lapsed, was registered again from scratch in June 2024, and today points at a page offering the […]
Sunbird FX Wanted Your Review Deleted Before It Would Pay You
Verdict up front: The Forex Peace Army records a Sunbird FX client being told her withdrawal would be paid only if she deleted her public complaint first. That is not a service failure — it is a price put on silence. Behind the brand sat a London-registered company that was never a financial firm on […]
The Traders Domain: A Federal Court Froze It and a Receiver Now Holds What Is Left
Verdict up front: This one is past the stage of warnings. A United States federal court froze The Traders Domain in October 2024, a receiver was appointed to take control of what was left, and the deadline for customers to file a claim closed on 28 July 2025. The regulator’s own headline puts the figure […]
PFGForex: Twenty Years of Forged Bank Statements Inside a Regulated Broker
Verdict up front: PFGForex was not an offshore brand with a fake licence. It was a US-registered, regulated, audited futures brokerage — and its founder stole more than $215 million from over 13,000 customers across roughly twenty years, using forged bank statements and a post office box to beat the auditors. He is serving 50 […]
Nexfen Growth: ASIC Lists It as an Impersonator of a Licensed Firm
Verdict up front: Nexfen Growth is on ASIC’s Investor Alert List — not merely as an unlicensed operator, but classified as an Imposter, listed as an impersonation of the licensed Australian firm MEX Australia Pty Ltd. Its own website advertises fixed daily returns and a five-tier referral bonus, and names no regulator, licence number or […]
Intrade24: FINRA Membership Claimed, No BrokerCheck Record
Verdict up front: Intrade24 states in its own footer that it is “a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC”. We searched FINRA’s BrokerCheck register ourselves and found no record of it — zero results. The claimed head office is in Toronto, and the site advertises 1:200 leverage and a deposit bonus, neither of which a […]
Firm Apex Trades: Domain Suspended by Its Own Registrar
Verdict up front: Firm Apex Trades is offline. Its domain was placed on registrar client hold on 7 September 2026 — one day after a broker-monitoring service recorded it — and the site no longer loads. The domain was three months old. Three days before it went dark, Quebec’s securities regulator published a warning naming […]
SparkSolve Trade: Brand and Domain Do Not Match
Verdict up front: SparkSolve Trade operates from a domain that spells something else entirely — sparknexuxtrade.com. The domain is five months old. No published regulator warning naming it could be confirmed, including one a third party asserts and we could not verify. Verified evidence (checked 1 September 2026) No published warning could be confirmed naming […]
Prorex: Saint Vincent IBC Is Not a Trading Licence
Verdict up front: Prorex offers trading from prorexglobal.com on the strength of a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines company registration. That is an incorporation certificate, not a financial licence — and Saint Vincent’s regulator does not license forex dealing at all. No published regulator warning naming this domain could be located. Verified evidence (checked 1 […]
Atlas Invested Limited: Registered, Not Licensed
Verdict up front: This platform trades on the credibility of a real UK company. ATLAS INVESTED LIMITED does exist at Companies House — and that is the whole of its paperwork. It holds no FCA authorisation, its registered office is a mailbox shared with over eleven thousand companies, and its site shows no licence, terms […]
