Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why GDFS Trade is on the register
GDFS TRADE claims to operate as a trading name of GDFS Trade International Pty Limited, regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). While our checks confirm that a company by this name is indeed registered with ASIC, we have identified that the official email domain listed in ASIC’s records is gdfstrade.com.au , which does not match the website domain currently used by the GDFS TRADE platform. This inconsistency raises serious doubts about whether the ASIC license genuinely belongs to the entity operating the GDFS TRADE platform. Due to this lack of transparency and inability to verify the connection between the platform and the ASIC-registered company, we classify GDFS TRADE as a suspected unlicensed or fraudulent broker.
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.
