Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why A Trade is on the register
A Trade purports to be registered with an entity known as European Financial Security, citing reference number 243961. However, it’s important to highlight that no such institution exists in Europe, rendering the verification of its legitimacy impossible. This suggests that the broker may be providing false regulatory information to appear credible and deceive unsuspecting investors. Moreover, the website operator deliberately obscures details about its company profile and contact information. The only means of communication provided to investors is an email address, a method that can be easily fabricated and discontinued. In the event that the company decides to close the website or abscond, the email communication would likely cease as well. This would leave clients without a feasible avenue to reclaim their funds. Caution is advised when dealing with such entities. In essence, A Trade 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. A Trade appears to be a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
