Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Starekco is on the register
Starekco claims it is a registered and regulated broker while presenting neither details about its regulation nor legal documents (terms & conditions, risk disclosure, and privacy policy, etc.). Lacking the above information may be a distinct characteristic of unlicensed brokers. It is a red flag here. Besides, Starekco claims it is registered in the UK as one of the largest foreign exchange brands. However, we did not find any match results to Starekco in the UK regulator Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). That means Starekco is not regulated by any regulators. Investors’ money in this broker is 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 toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
