Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why CTRL FX is on the register
CTRL FX claims to be operated by CTRL FX Global Limited headquartered in London and is regulated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the MSB number 31000236051732. Firstly, we searched this company in Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) register but didn’t find any results. This is a red flag, suggesting it is not authorized and regulated by the FCA to offer financial services or products in compliance with UK law. Secondly, although we did find records matching CTRL FX on FinCEN website, it is important to note that this agency’s mission is to safeguard the financial system from illicit use and combat money laundering and promote national security through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence and strategic use of financial authorities. It doesn’t issue forex licenses or regulate entities engaging in such activities. In essence, CTRL FX 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.
