ConiusFx claims to be domiciled in a regulated jurisdiction and displays fake license information on its website to try and improve its credibility with unsuspecting investors.
According to its homepage, the fraudulent firm claims that it is regulated by one of the world’s leading financial jurisdictions, their clients can rest assured that they are trading with a safe and secure company. In other words, it shows on the bottom of its homepage that ConiusFx is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK (FCA) under the license #509778. However, searching on FCA registry, we found the license number the fraud claimed belongs to another broker - LMAX Limited, an FCA-regulated firm owns a single approved domain address -- www.LMAX.com, which obviously has no association with ConiusFx or coniusfx.com. Therefore, ConiusFx is an unauthorised firm that uses the details of a regulated entity when offering products and services.
What's more, based on the information we hold, we learned that the scammer was warned by Italian regulator CONSOB, giving the reason that it operates and attracts clients without legal licenses. That means investors' funds in this broker is unsafe and cannot be protected by any laws. Therefore, it is a scam broker.
