Case file: Affinity Trades

AndersFX — Cointiverse forensic case file

The case coordinates for Affinity Trades 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

Affinity Trades claims to be registered in St. Lucia, promoting this registration as proof of its legitimacy. However, forex trading activities are not licensed in St. Lucia. In addition, it is located in Dubai. Upon investigation, no matching information was found in the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), DuBai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), and Central Bank of U.A.E. (CBUAE). In essence, Affinity Trades is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting it with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. Affinity Trades appears to be a scam.

Red flags on the map

  • Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
  • No verifiable licence for the jurisdictions it targets
  • Withdrawal friction: new fees or conditions appear at cash-out time
  • Aggressive outreach through social platforms and messaging apps
