Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Ubuntu Invest is on the register
Ubuntu Invest claims to be owned and operated by Ubuntu We Sizwe (Pty) Ltd, a registered financial service provider authorized and regulated by the South Africa Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA) under FSP 51420. However, when we searched in FSCA, we found the FSP number actually belongs to a company named “PIONEER INTERNATIONAL (PTY) LTD” instead of “Ubuntu We Sizwe (Pty) Ltd.” The truth is, Ubuntu Invest may be a clone firm that falsely uses the regulatory information of a licensed company. Ubuntu Invest is not under valid regulation by any regulators to do forex. 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 toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
