Abstract:Black-listed forex brokers are offering false global regulations to appear victims' eyes in order to pull off their scams. Recently, BrokersView learned that ANYFX becomes one of these fraudulent brokers.
A Newly Established Company
ANYFX states it was founded in 2006. However, domain check results shows it was newly created in August 2020. How could a company exist before its establishment? Thus, it is a red flag here.
Claims to be Regulated by Four Watchdogs
Besides the fact that the company offers confusing corporate information, there is the issue of licensing and regulation–ANYFX is using false licenses and regulation.
If we go by the information on its home page, then the company is showing that it is registered and regulated by:
· CySEC(EU) under license No. 162012/48
· FSA Seychelles under license No. 1297/ANY/2008
· BVI FSC under registration No. BVI FSC 16092020/2007
· SVG FSA under registration No. 97112 UNI 2005
However, searching on these regulators' registry, we found no results. It means ANYFX is running without any licenses.
