Who is Scalp Fx Trades?
Scalp Fx Trades markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at http://www.scalpfxtrades.com/. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.
Is Scalp Fx Trades regulated?
We could find no evidence that Scalp Fx Trades holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
