Why WinzoFX is on the register

WinzoFX claims it was founded In 2006 and has over 11 years of experience In the online financial field. But when we checked its domain, we found it was newly created on 5 Apr 2022. So how could it start its business in 2006? It is a red flag here. Besides, WinzoFX claims to be a regulated broker In the EU, Japan, Australia, South Africa, and The British Virgin Islands. As per this info, we searched in several regulatory bodies, including: 1) The Japan Financial Services Agency (Japan FSA); 2) The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC); 3) The South Africa Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA); 4) The British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC). However, we did not find any match results to WinzoFX in the above watchdogs’ registries. What’s more, WinzoFX shows its company address is 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). But there are no match results to WinzoFX in FCA’s registry. The truth is that WinzoFX 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

  1. Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
  2. Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
  3. Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
  4. 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.
