Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why RFI is on the register
RFI claims to be a UK-based online broker and authorized and regulated in the United Kingdom. As per United Kingdom law, all firms and individuals offering, promoting, or selling financial services or products in the UK have to be authorized or registered by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). However, we did not find any match results to RFI in FCA. That means RFI is not an approved broker in the UK. Besides, RFI claims to be licensed in Belize under license number 167784. We searched in the Belize regulator Financial Services Commission (Belize FSC) but find no matching results to the company name or the license number. That means RFI is not overseen by any regulators. 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 to the right next step. A free public registry — we never charge any fees.
