Pause before you respond
Do not send money, disclose credentials, or use contact details supplied in an unsolicited message. Verify the organisation independently.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued an official warning regarding the online trading entity operating via en.synthetixmarkets.com. According to the regulator, this firm is providing and promoting financial services and products in the United Kingdom without the required authorization.
Regulated financial activities in the UK require authorization or registration with the FCA. Engaging with an unauthorized broker poses severe financial risks for investors. Entities operating without oversight do not offer the statutory protections afforded to clients of regulated firms.
Known Details for the Unauthorized Firm:
Name: en.synthetixmarkets.com
Website: www.en.synthetixmarkets.com
Telephone: +17027064466
Email: [email protected]
The FCA notes that unauthorized entities frequently provide misleading or incorrect contact details and may change their operational information over time to evade detection. In some instances, they may copy details belonging to legitimate, authorized entities to appear genuine.
Investors who engage with en.synthetixmarkets.com will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service in the event of a dispute, nor will their funds be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Consequently, recovering lost capital from this entity is highly unlikely if issues arise or if the platform ceases operations.
The regulatory authority strongly advises the public to verify the authorization status of any financial services provider by consulting the official FCA register before making deposits or sharing personal information. Individuals who have been contacted by unauthorized firms are encouraged to report them directly to the regulator.
