Do not send money, disclose credentials, or use contact details supplied in an unsolicited message. Verify the organisation independently.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority has issued a warning about Quantumtradedesk.org, stating that the firm is not authorised by the FCA and may be targeting people in the UK.
The warning identifies Quantumtradedesk.org as an unauthorised financial firm. The FCA advises consumers to avoid dealing with the firm and to be cautious of possible scams. The firm is listed with the website www.quantumtradedesk.org, the email address [email protected], the telephone number +7027064466, and an address at 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5AB. The FCA notes that unauthorised firms may provide incorrect or changing contact details, including details belonging to another business or individual.
Because Quantumtradedesk.org is not authorised by the FCA, people who deal with it may not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if they need to complain. They are also unlikely to be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if the firm fails or goes out of business.
Consumers should check any financial firm through the FCA Firm Checker before sending money or sharing personal information. Confirm that the firm is authorised for the specific services it is offering, and use the contact details shown in the FCA register rather than details supplied unexpectedly by the firm.
If you have been contacted by Quantumtradedesk.org or believe you have dealt with an unauthorised firm, report it to the FCA. If you have already transferred money, contact your bank or payment provider promptly and ask what recovery or payment protection options may apply. Be cautious of anyone who later promises to recover your funds for an upfront fee, as this can be a separate account recovery scam.
