Some operations earn a place on the Cointiverse map through victim reports; LGM Markets arrived by regulator flag. Both routes end at the same coordinates: elevated risk.
Position on the risk map
LGM Markets claims to be regulated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). While a registration record for this MSB number can be found in the database, it is important to note that FinCEN does not regulate foreign exchange (forex) trading activities. In the United States, the primary regulatory body overseeing forex brokers is the National Futures Association (NFA). However, upon investigation, it was found that LGM Markets is not registered or authorised by the NFA or any other reputable financial regulatory agency. Therefore, based on the available information, LGM Markets is operating without proper authorisation from any credible forex regulator. Therefore, LGM Markets appears to be a scam.
Red flags on the map
- 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
- Appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list
