As online investing continues to grow rapidly, so does the number of unauthorized brokers and fake platforms trying to deceive investors.

These firms have been flagged for operating without proper authorization and pose serious risks to your financial safety.

Why You Should Avoid Unlicensed Brokers
Engaging with unregulated brokers comes with significant risks:
No legal protection or recourse in case of fraud or loss
Personal and financial data may be compromised
Funds are not kept in segregated accounts or protected under any investor compensation scheme
How to Protect Yourself
Verify the license – Always check if the broker is registered with regulators like FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), or CySEC (Cyprus)
Use TrustFinance – Look up broker profiles, license data, and real user reviews before investing
Be skeptical of unrealistic promises – High returns with low risk is a common red flag
