Who is Cosmo Markets?
Cosmo Markets markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://cosmomarkets.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 Cosmo Markets regulated?
Cosmo Markets provides no verifiable regulatory licence. An unregulated broker answers to no one: it can freeze withdrawals, invent fees, and disappear with deposits, all without consequence. This alone is reason enough to stay away.
Red flags we identified
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
Our analysis
Cosmo Markets does not claim to be licensed by any regulator; it only claims to be registered in Saint Lucia, and have an entity located in Mauritius. While we can confirm that there is a company with the same name in the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre (IFC) registry, this registration only grants it International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The IFC neither regulates nor licences forex trading activities. Besides, a search within the official register of the the Financial Services Commission(FSC) in Mauritius shows no relevant record of Cosmo Markets, which means that this entity is unauthorised to conduct forex trading services in Mauritius. Being unregulated is a major red flag for a fraudulent operation. Therefore, Cosmo Markets appears to be a scam.
Can you recover money lost to Cosmo Markets?
If you have deposited with Cosmo Markets, 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.
