The case coordinates for UCMarkets were fixed the moment an official warning list picked the operation up. Our review of the available trail supports that placement.
What our cartographers found
UCMarkets only claims to be registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on its website. While we can find a matching company in the Financial Services Authority (FSA) registry of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, this only grants International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The SVG FSA has clearly stated that it does not regulate or licence forex brokers. Furthermore, its registration status in Saint Vincent is now shown as "cancelled," indicating that the entity may have underlying operational issues. UCMarkets is not licensed by any recognised financial authority. This is a major red flag indicating fraudulent activity. Therefore, UCMarkets appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
- No verifiable licence for the jurisdictions it targets
If you have funds with UCMarkets
