We plot every flagged operation on the same network map, and ACQUA Markets sits in a cluster our team knows well – a polished front, a scripted onboarding, and a warning record behind it.
What our cartographers found
According to its website, it claims to be registered in the UK and provides a registration code of Companies House (CH). Upon investigation, we did find matching information in CH. However, as we all know, if you want to exercise foreign exchange in the UK, you must obtain permission from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), but we did not find matching information in the FCA. In essence, ACQUA Markets 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. ACQUA Markets appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- Withdrawal friction: new fees or conditions appear at cash-out time
- Aggressive outreach through social platforms and messaging apps
- Dashboard balances that cannot be verified on-chain
- Pressure to deposit more in order to unlock earlier deposits
