Marcus by Goldman Sachs (clone of an FCA authorised firm)

This scam has been targeting UK citizens, Canadians and anyone else they’ve been able to. Their fake website (www.marcus-uk.co.uk) has been taken down and the scam has been to reported to the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority)(UK).

Razermarkets Scam

Scam website that somehow is still targeting people even after having been reported at the beginning of the 2021. They are the same scammers that operate Cryptopain.com. Unfortunately this scam has a lot of victims who have lost a large amount of money.

XEROFUND SCAM

Xero Fund or XeroFund is a dirty scam plaguing online investors since the beginning of the year. The most recent victim that reported a case to us was from Canada, but no doubt these scammers are targeting anyone that they can. At the time of this article their website is still active. Be forewarned, this company is a confirmed scam.

FXCityIndex

The upstanding people running this boiler-room operation are targeting their clients through social media chats and online advertising. The latest report we received came from an individual that was targeted by an fxcityindex operative using Instagram.

Make no mistake about this company. They are scammers and anyone “regulating” them are also scammers.
