Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Advanced Trade is on the register
Advanced Trade claims to be owned and operated by ADVANCED TRADING ENTERPRISE LIMITED, a regulated entity by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) with Representative Number: 001276870, and Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) under Representative Number: 40436. However, the search results from both ASIC and VFSC indicate that the alleged regulation belongs to another broker named TOP 1 MARKETS, which is not affiliated in any way with Advanced Trade. We would like to remind traders that Advanced Trade is a clone firm that falsely uses details of a licensed entity to lure unsuspecting traders. All in all, Advanced Trade is not overseen by any regulator. That means 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.
