Do you recommend brokers?

We do not sell brokerage services. We highlight licensing status, conduct, and risks so you can make an informed decision. Our rankings prioritize regulation and behavior—not marketing.

How do I verify if a broker is regulated?

Match the broker's legal entity and license number with the official regulator's register (e.g., FCA, ASIC, CySEC, NFA/CFTC, MAS). Check that permissions cover the products offered and that the license is active.

Can you recover lost funds?

We do not provide recovery services. If you suspect fraud, immediately contact your bank or card issuer, file police and regulator reports, and document all communications. Beware of unsolicited 'recovery' offers.

How often are pages updated?

We refresh pages when regulators publish new notices, when a broker changes corporate status, or when new evidence becomes available.

About us - Forex Trading Scam Reviews

Who We Are

Forex Trading Scam Reviews is a research-driven project focused on broker due diligence, regulatory verification, and investor education. We analyze forex/CFD/crypto brokers across jurisdictions to help you tell the difference between licensed providers and high-risk or unregulated schemes.

We are platform-agnostic and do not sell brokerage services. Our content is editorially independent and designed to be simple, verifiable, and actionable.

What We Do

Broker Checks: We validate licenses (ASIC, FCA, CySEC, MAS, NFA/CFTC, DFSA and others) and flag fake or expired registrations. See our Brokers coverage.
Risk Screening: We review T&Cs, execution policies, slippage clauses, withdrawal rules, and complaints history to identify red flags.
Comparisons: Side-by-side broker snapshots by regulation, fees, funding, and support. Explore Compare.
Rankings: A transparent scoring framework that prioritizes regulatory strength and conduct. Browse our Ranking List.
Regulator Guides: How to verify a license and submit a complaint. Start with Regulators.
Education & Warnings: Plain-English explainers and up-to-date alerts on the Blog.

Our Review Methodology

Every review follows the same documented checklist so findings are comparable and repeatable:

Regulatory Verification: Check legal entity names, license numbers, permissions, and any sanctions in official registers.
Corporate Footprint: Confirm domains, addresses, ownership changes, and cross-border entities that may limit recourse.
Terms & Policies: Analyze withdrawal rules, bonus restrictions, negative balance policy, order execution, and dispute handling.
Funding & Payouts: Assess deposit/withdrawal methods, processing times, and documented user outcomes.
Conduct Signals: Review complaint density, regulator warnings, legal actions, and public responses (if any).
Test Interactions: Contact support with specific compliance questions to evaluate clarity and transparency.

We cite sources whenever possible and prefer links to official regulators and primary documents. If something cannot be verified, we label it as a claim and not a fact.

How We Help Traders

Fast Screening: Use our broker pages to confirm whether a firm is licensed and where.
Decision Support: The comparison tool reduces research time and highlights deal-breakers.
Action Paths: If you suspect fraud, we outline concrete next steps, including contacting your bank and filing regulator reports.
Free Content: All guides on our Blog are free to read and share (with attribution).

Important: We do not sell “fund recovery” or “chargeback” services. Be cautious of unsolicited rescue offers.

Why Trust Our Research

Independence: Editorial decisions are separate from monetization. We do not accept payment to “fix” or remove negative reviews.
Transparency: We show what we checked and where we found it, so you can verify claims yourself.
Compliance-First: Licensing and conduct carry the most weight in our scoring—marketing hype does not.
Updates: Pages are periodically refreshed when regulators issue new notices or a broker changes status.

Editorial Policy

Our content is prepared for general information and should not be considered financial advice. Trading leveraged products involves risk. Always evaluate your personal circumstances and consult a qualified advisor if needed.

Our Anti-Scam Pledge

We will always:

Prioritize trader safety over commercial interests.
Label rumors as unverified until we can validate with primary sources.
Correct errors promptly and visibly when new evidence emerges.
Discourage risky behavior and promote regulator-verified options only.
