Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why MBBO is on the register
While MBBO claims to be operated by Coinftx, a company with headquarter in Singapore and operation centers in the United States, South Korea, and Hong Kong, our research has found no evidence to support its legitimacy in forex markets. Especially, we would like to emphasize that in the US, the authority to regulate futures and derivative markets rests with the National Futures Association (NFA). Brokers operating in the US must be an NFA member in order to offer financial products or services legally. As such, the licenses this broker provided, including the MSB license by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the registration certificate, don’t necessarily indicate a broker’s legitimacy. We searched for MBBO on the NFA website but did not find any matching records, indicating that MBBO is illegally engaging in forex activities. In essence, MBBO is not overseen by any recognized financial regulatory body. Entrusting this broker with investors’ funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. It is unequivocally 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.
