Unregulated and definitely a scam (so says the FCA)
July 14, 2020

Their claimed trading address is: "Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Centre, Beachmont, Kingstone, St. Vincent and the Grenadines"

That address contains a typo... There is no "Kingstone" in SVG, there is however a KingsTOWN. This is an attempt by the scammers to stop you from Googling the address successfully and a typo like that is a big clue to this being a scam.

The address at Kingstown is registered to a completely unrelated company "Wilfred International Services". The landlord of the Griffith Corporate Centre has even posted a page warning about misuse of the Suite 305 address.

There are numerous warnings from Switzerland's FINMA and UK's FCA about scammers and unauthorised financial service providers claiming to operate from the Suite 305 address (see attached screenshots).

Other names: FTEFX, Brokerz, Tradixa, OPT Finance, Traderking, STS Royals, Coinbrokerz, FX-leader, FXG Trade, Goldman Blanc, Get Financial, Turn FX, Interactive Trade, FteFXPro, CoinBits, TECHNORIC Ltd, Tradeur, Tradewell, Bridgehold Ttd, Absolute Global Markets, Profitx, New Rich Markets ltd, Pro Capital Markets, Intrgroup / Mindworks Limited, Apsilon Ltd t/a Marketrade.co, Midas Wealth Management Securities, GCG 24 / Global Consulting Group, 500 Investments/ Cabsy Holdings Ltd, CCX Markets/ Online Media Solutions LTD, 4Rex Prime Ltd t\a Standard Bit Option, Standard Bit Options/ Standard Bit Options Ltd, GFC Investment and Greenfields Capital owned by Dartalon Ltd

Tip for consumers:

Avoid anyone using the address (with various spellings of "Kingstown"):

Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Centre, Beachmont, Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

...unless you are dealing with the true owner Wilfred International Services

Products used:

Cold callers, bought my details off a crypto trading exchange. Attempted to get me to sign up to managed trading account.
