Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why PINAKINE is on the register
PINAKINE claims to operate as Pinakine Liquidity, which is registered in Saint Lucia. While we can confirm that there is a company named Pinakine Liquidity Limited registered with the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre (IFC), this registration only grants it International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The IFC neither regulates nor licenses forex trading activities. PINAKINE does not disclose any licensing information. It is clearly not licensed by any recognised financial authority. Therefore, PINAKINE 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.
