services. The move underlines the growing risk of online scams in the financial
sector.
“These websites are not controlled and do not belong
to Dukascopy Bank, Dukascopy Europe, Dukascopy Japan, or any other entity of
Dukascopy Group,” the company said in a statement. “Do not trust the
information on these sites, and never provide your personal data.”

Dukascopy’s Response
The bank is reportedly taking legal and technical measures to
shut down these fraudulent domains. While enforcement can be challenging across
multiple jurisdictions, Dukascopy has urged its users to double-check URLs, use
official links, and verify any communication claiming to be from the bank.
It is not the first time the broker has cautioned traders against such clones. Nearly two years ago, it issued a warning about a fraudulent website operating under the domain https://www.dukascopys.top.
Like in the latest warning, the firm mentioned that
the website is not under the control or ownership of Dukascopy Bank, Dukascopy
Europe, Dukascopy Japan, or any other entity within the Dukascopy Group.
Besides fighting scammers, Dukascopy maintains a strong financial performance. Last month, the company reported a
profit of CHF 3.32 million, up from CHF 19,800 in the same period of 2024. On a consolidated basis, including subsidiaries,
profit reached CHF 3.29 million, compared with CHF 80,800 a year earlier.
