MarketsCo

After reviewing MarketsCo, we assess it as a high-risk, likely fraudulent broker. Below we break down exactly why, and what your options are if you have already deposited.

Who is MarketsCo?

On the surface, MarketsCo looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://marketsco.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind MarketsCo is where the problems begin.

Is MarketsCo regulated?

MarketsCo 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

• Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
• Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
• No verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator
• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more

Our analysis

According to the telephone number +44 provided, we know that the area code is the UK area code. Upon investigation, no matching information was found in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In essence, MarketsCo is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting it with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. MarketsCo appears to be a scam.

Can you recover money lost to MarketsCo?

If you have deposited with MarketsCo, 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.
