Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Trade Option is on the register
Trade Option claims to be an investment or stock trading company that was founded in 2009. But when we checked its domain, we found it was created in 2022. So how could it start its business in 2009? It is a red flag here. Besides, Trade Option shows its company address is in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, please be informed that Indonesia currently has no forex regulator that issues licenses for forex trading or regulates entities engaging in forex trading. The truth is, Trade Option is not under valid regulation by any regulators to provide investment services. Investors’ funds in this company 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 toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
