Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Sentry Derivatives is on the register
According to its website, most of the key information is missing. It says at the bottom of the website that it is the trading name of AVA Trade and is regulated by Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) and Financial Services Agency(FSA). We consulted AVA Trade’s customer service, and they claimed that they did not authorize the company. The company is likely to be a phishing website. Investors are advised to identify and stay away from it. The truth is that Sentry Derivatives is not regulated by any regulators. Letting it hold or control investors money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws. Sentry Derivatives 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.
