Who is Hawks Forex?
On the surface, Hawks Forex looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://hawksforex.com. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind Hawks Forex is where the problems begin.
Is Hawks Forex regulated?
Hawks Forex 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
- Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
Our analysis
Hawks Forex claims to be a online broker licensed and regulated by leading international governing bodies, including the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS), the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in BVI, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa with FSP number 51024, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) with license number 178/12, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom with register number 730729, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) in Kenya, offering a range of investment products to traders in global markets. But our search of the FSA, FSC, and BVIFSC yielded no results. Upon investigation, we found that Hawks Forex is a case of identity theft. Hawks Forex is using the details of a licenced broker Exness. The truth is that Hawks Forex is not regulated by any regulators. Letting it hold or control investors'money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws. Hawks Forex is a scam.
