Metro Capital Fx

Our investigation into Metro Capital Fx found an operation with the classic markings of an investment scam. If you are weighing a deposit — or trying to get one back — read this first.

Who is Metro Capital Fx?

Metro Capital Fx markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://metrocapitalfx.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 Metro Capital Fx regulated?

We could find no evidence that Metro Capital Fx 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

• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
• No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
• Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
• Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
• Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”

Our analysis

Metro Capital Fx claims to be a member of Blue Capital Limited, a regulated online financial company with registration in the Companies House of the United Kingdom (CH) under number 07984530 and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). First, we indeed find a match result to Blue Capital Limited in CH. But CH is the United Kingdom's registrar of companies which has no legit rights to regulate any forex activities. Having registration does not mean having any regulation. Second, there is also a match result to Blue Capital Limited in FCA. But this firm is no longer authorized by FCA to provide regulated activities and products. That means no matter whether Metro Capital Fx or Blue Capital Limited is not under valid regulation to do forex by any regulators. Investors' funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is a scam.

Can you recover money lost to Metro Capital Fx?

If you have deposited with Metro Capital Fx, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
