Reporting a message that impersonates us

Messages that borrow the name of a trading company are common, and the pattern is usually recognisable once you know what to look for.

Likely warning signs

  • A request for your broker trading password, or for payment to an account that is not the one on our invoice.
  • Promises of a fixed return, a "confirmed" move, or pressure to act before a deadline.
  • An address that resembles ours with one character changed, or a free mail account presented as official support.
  • A "recovery" service offering to reclaim losses for an upfront fee.

What to do

  • Do not click links or reply. Reply confirms that the address is live.
  • Send us the message, including the full header if you can, through the contact form. Describe what was asked for.
  • Report it to your broker if trading credentials were requested, and change them.
  • If money has been paid to someone using our name, tell your bank or card issuer immediately and ask them to recall it.

We will not ask you to move a deposit to a "safe" account, and we will not contact you first about a refund using an unlisted number. Verification is done from the order record, not from a link in a message.

Still stuck?

Send the exact message you see, the platform you are on and what you were doing. Support answers by email. Never send your broker trading password — we do not ask for it and we will not use it.
