Midasfxtrades A Scam?

Is Midasfxtrades a scam? In our ongoing commitment to scam prevention, Cybertrace has identified a new threat to the financial community: Midasfxtrades.com. Following a recent warning issued by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we have conducted our own analysis to further inform and protect investors.

Other scam brands associated with Midasfxtraders are financialtraders, stfxpro, and optimumprofx, among others, and we strongly recommend that investors undertake their own due diligence on all sites associated with Midasfxtraders. Visit our scam website detector ScamID, and check a website for identified risks.

The FCA Warning

The FCA has flagged Midasfxtrades as an unauthorised financial services provider. According to the FCA, this firm has been offering or promoting financial services without proper authorisation, and hence, should be avoided to prevent potential scams.

Firm Details:

Cybertrace’s Investigation

Our forensic cyber investigators have scrutinised Midasfxtrades, confirming several red flags that align with typical scam operations. The website’s domain registration details are obscured, a common tactic to avoid traceability. Additionally, customer service contact points are not consistent, raising questions about their legitimacy.

From our review, our forensic investigators identified that despite the website’s claim below that they have been in business for 9 years, the website is only 3 months old which is a strong sign of fraudulent claims. Additionally, our ScamID’s fingerprinting algorithm identified that Midasfxtrades is linked to many other scam websites including financialtraders.live, stfxpro.com, optimumprofx.live, elitestraders.online, phantomtradefx.com, krypto-mkthandler.com, among others.

Implications For Investors:

Engaging with Midasfxtrades carries significant risk. Not being authorised by the FCA means that any transactions with Midasfxtrades are not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) in the UK. This leaves investors without high and dry if disputes arise, or if the firm collapses.

Cybertrace’s Advice
