Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Fake HTFX is on the register
Fake HTFX is not a reliable broker for traders even though it states offers that look good to be true. Fake HTFX claims to be a UK-based firm authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) with license number 822279. We indeed find a match result to the license number in FCA. But as per the regulatory details shown on FCA, we found the only approved domain of HTFX Limited is “www.htfx.co.uk” instead of the one used by this broker (domain:). Using the domain given by the FCA, we found the regulated HTFX. We contacted the company via its official email and the real HTFX also confirmed that this broker is a clone. The truth is that this broker is a clone firm falsely claims its regulation by FCA while under no valid regulation by any regulators to do forex. Investors’ funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is 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.
