Other Asked Brokers

In addition to the above-mentioned scam brokers, we've received inquiries about these brokers, including Tejara Capital, XS, and CauvoCapital. Although they are providing financial services or products under regulations, they just have a relatively lower risk than those unlicensed ones. At the same time, we want to draw your attention to CauvoCapital. While CauvoCapital is registered with the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (Mauritius FSC) and we did find corresponding records in the registry of the regulatory body, it is critical to note that Mauritius FSC neither provides authentication information nor discloses domains associated with registered entities for investors to verify. This absence of verification mechanisms leaves room for unscrupulous brokers to exploit details such as company name, address, and licensing data in order to deceive unsuspecting investors into believing they are legitimate and trustworthy. As such, there is no guarantee that the registered company is the one operating under the trading name of CauvoCapital. Investors must exercise extreme caution and carefully evaluate the risks involved before dealing with CauvoCapital.
