Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Pips Star is on the register
Pips Star’s website fails to disclose a verifiable legal entity name or any legitimate regulatory information, only a UK business address is provided. We conducted a thorough search of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) register using all available details, including the listed address, but found no record of Pips Star or any affiliated company. The absence of fundamental corporate and regulatory disclosures strongly indicates that Pips Star is operating without authorization and may lack a genuine physical presence. Therefore, Pips Star appears to be 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.
