Traders Advised to Verify Financial Commission Communications

The Financial Commission recently provided an update on its investigation into a scam where individuals impersonated its representatives to deceive traders, as reported by FinanceMagnates.com. These scammers target traders impacted by fraudulent brokers, offering paid recovery services and using fake companies to issue guarantee letters.

The Financial Commission clarified that it does not offer recovery services, initiate contact through cold emails, or issue guarantee letters. Traders are encouraged to verify communication by checking the list of member brokers and using the official Dispute Resolution Form. Any unsolicited claims should be confirmed with The Financial Commission before sharing personal information.
