The licence belongs to the warning
The page names ASIC as its regulator. ASIC’s alert says this website impersonates Trade Options — it borrows another company’s name to look licensed. That is a clone: the licence you would find on a search is not held by the people running topsproprietary.com.
Nine years on a three-year domain
The site claims more than nine years of operation. Its web address was registered in May 2023. Clones often borrow the history of the firm they copy, because a long track record makes the first deposit feel safe.

Insurance from nobody
“Your funds are safe with us and in insured by A XV/A+ insurers”. No insurer, policy or scheme is named, and the grammar slips in the same sentence. Real client-money protection in Australia does not work through anonymous insurers.
Earn by doing ‘tasks’
The affiliate section promises clients can “earn by doing tasks”. Task schemes are a known variation in which victims are paid small sums early, then asked to deposit to unlock bigger “task” rewards that never pay out.
How to check
Search the firm’s exact name and web address on the register of the regulator in your own country, and on IOSCO’s I-SCAN list. A real broker shows a licence number you can look up in under a minute.
What to do if you paid Trade Options Proprietary
- Stop sending money — no “tax”, “release fee” or “upgrade” will unlock a withdrawal.
- Keep every record: receipts, wallet addresses, emails and chat screenshots.
- Call your bank or card issuer today and ask about a chargeback or recall.
- Report it to the regulator that issued the warning and to your local police.
- Ignore anyone who offers to recover the money for an upfront fee.
The verdict: Trade Options Proprietary wears another firm’s licence. ASIC has said so publicly. Do not deposit.
