How to spot clone brokers: domain matters more than license number

Clone brokers often use real license numbers. The key is whether domain, legal name and contact match the regulator register.

How clone platforms work

They claim FCA, ASIC or CySEC regulation and may show a real license number. But receiving account, support email, website domain and real licensed company do not match.

Fields to check

Registered domain, legal name, address, phone, email, status and warning records.

Stop signals

Personal receiving account, unknown app download, crypto-wallet deposit or tax payment before withdrawal.
