Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Raw Forex is on the register
Raw Forex claims to operate under Raw Forex Ltd, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), and states it maintains a physical presence in Turkey. Our verification confirms that a matching entity exists in the registry of the SVG Financial Services Authority (FSA). However, this registration only confers International Business Company (IBC) status, which is not equivalent to a financial services or forex trading license. Importantly, the SVG FSA explicitly states that it does not regulate or authorize forex brokers. Furthermore, our investigation found that Raw Forex is not licensed by Turkey’s Capital Markets Board (CMB)—nor by any other recognized financial regulatory authority worldwide. This complete lack of legitimate oversight is a major red flag strongly indicative of a fraudulent operation. 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.
