Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Ausbey Markets is on the register
Ausbey Markets claims to be registered with the Financial Services Authority of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG FSA) under Reg number 556 LLC 2020. However, we searched the SVG FSA register but couldn’t find any matching records. Furthermore, the SVG FSA has explicitly stated that entities engaging in forex trading and brokerage are not licensed from this jurisdiction. This is a red flag. Ausbey Markets provides an MSB license number issued by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center of Canada (FINTRAC) to support its legitimacy. However, FINTRAC is Canada’s financial intelligence unit responsible for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. According to the unit’s website, registration with FINTRAC does not indicate that they endorses or licenses the business. Therefore, Ausbey Markets remains unauthorized. Furthermore, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) has the authority to issue financial licenses and regulate entities involved in such activities. However, we have been unable to locate a firm called Ausbey Markets in the regulator’s register. In essence, Ausbey Markets is not regulated by any governing 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.
