Abstract:SevenTrade24 claims it is a world-renowned financial forex broker, offering clients across the globe an opportunity to invest in over 1,000 world-class assets including forex, stocks, commodities and indices.
False regulation statement
SevenTrade24 shows that it is a licensed online broker, regulated under The International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) authorization number IFSC/XX/SevenTrade24/XX/XX.
The IFSC is the Belize government agency responsible for financial regulation. It is responsible for regulating all financial market participants, exchanges and the setting and enforcing of financial regulations. A number of international online forex brokers obtain their international license from IFSC. With the passage of the Securities Industry Act, 2o21, the former IFSC was transformed into the Financial Services Commission (FSC) by now.
But no matching records for SevenTrade24 found on Belize FSC.
A new registered website
What's interesting, SevenTrade24(https://seventrade24.com/) was first registered in October of 2021. This is the first red flag here. Besides, the result shows the domain will expire this October. This is on purpose as after 6 to 12 months the company will then just move to a new website and continue to change its image for scamming. It's a common defrauding tactic used by fraudsters.
A warning from CONSOB
What's more, the Italian financial authority CONSOB issued a warning that SevenTrade24 has not been authorized to carry out investment services and activities. That is to say, the company is an unregulated forex broker. If clients invest their funds in the firm, they are unlikely to get their money back if things go wrong.
Based on the above information, we can conclude that SevenTrade24 is a scam.
The revenue of FXCM UK for 2021 was $13.6 million, a 12% decrease from $15.4 million in 2020. The company's net profit for the year decreased from $4.9 million in 2020 to only $227,982 in 2021, just over breakeven.
According to Rakuten Group, the establishment of Rakuten Securities Holdings, Inc. and the reorganization of the securities firm were completed as planned.
DtpFx Ltd is a forex scam warned by FCA recently. However, it hasn't stopped its steps to scamming after being warned.
Although digital currencies have been around for over a decade, the concept is still foreign to many.
