2. Steal the regulatory number of FSA or NFA and claim that you are subject to regulatory comments: you can check the FSA or NFA website according to the regulatory number (FSA's regulatory number is 6 digits and NFA's regulatory number is 7 digits) to see if it is consistent with the name of the black platform collection company. Never ask the full name of the company, don't ask the short name, it's not even a letter.
3. Regular dealers will write FSA or NFA supervision number on the company website, and there is a clear deposit and withdrawal process in the deposit and withdrawal part of the website, including the name and address of the receiving bank and other detailed information. Comments: Most of the black platforms only have the logo or link of FSA or NFA, and there is no supervision number at all. The most obscure thing is that they can't find the payee's name or collecting bank of this company at all, and they often need to enter the account number and password to inquire, because they know that this information will betray these black platforms.
4. The deposit account of the black company is a private account (a personal account without the customer's name). Comments: There is no third-party custody, and there is no company that opens a customer-specific account in the name of the company. Of course, it is a black platform.
5. The receiving bank is a domestic bank or can receive RMB comments: at present, this business is not open in the domestic market, and foreign traders have not cooperated with domestic banks, so the receiving bank cannot be a domestic bank, and at present, RMB is not freely convertible in the international market, so it is usually a black platform to receive RMB accounts. However, with the development of foreign exchange investment, some regular traders can use paypal to remit money (paypal is bound to online banking or credit card), and black platforms will use LR remittance (similar to domestic Alipay), which is outside the supervision of domestic banks, so it provides a lot of convenience for black platforms, and many people also cheat a lot with false transactions in LR.
6. The address of the black platform trading website does not match the company's registered place. Comments: A trader is registered in the United States, but the English website of the company is located in Beijing or Hong Kong, which is obviously founded by China people or Hong Kong people. Or a dealer claims to be a domestic first-class agent. When consulting the dealer official website, there was no official website at all, or the official website for you was registered in Hongkong or Peking. These are the best ways to expose the black platform.
7. Register a shell company through an intermediary company, and the phone will be answered by the secretary company, or transferred to any domestic phone. Comments: It is very easy to register overseas companies now. These black platforms all have certain telephone numbers or telephone numbers starting with 860 or 86 1. People with common sense should know that +86 is a domestic phone number, followed by 0 or 1 is a domestic area code or mobile phone number, which is mistaken for an overseas phone number.
8. Black platform registered in Hong Kong, funds are deposited in custody banks in Hong Kong, and there are remittance accounts specially set up for Asian investors. Comments: Companies registered in Hong Kong can only cooperate with a bank in Hong Kong for custody and cannot remit money to other regions;
9. The black platform claims that the funds regulated by the UK exist in banks in other countries or regions. Comments: A dealer claims that he is regulated by Britain, but the receiving bank is in Hong Kong or the United States, which is unreasonable, because the FSA in Britain can only supervise its own domestic banks and has no right to interfere with banks in other countries. If the receiving bank is in Hong Kong, the company is registered in Hong Kong.
10. Companies supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority claim to provide leverage of 1: 100. Comments: Hong Kong laws stipulate that the leverage of foreign exchange margin should not exceed 1: 20. Companies with leverage increased to 1: 100 are not regulated, so the safety of customers' funds is naturally unsafe. It is not that investors are not advised to choose a platform in Hong Kong. It is because there are too many black platforms in Hong Kong that it is easy to be deceived. Many Hong Kong companies claim to be regulated by chinese gold and silver exchange society, but in fact, the regulator in Hong Kong is only the Securities and Futures Commission, and chinese gold and silver exchange society is only responsible for collecting money, and has no obligation to supervise. So in order to avoid such a tragedy, we will not comment on the formal companies in Hong Kong.
6. Check the stability of trading software of foreign exchange platform.
At present, MT4 foreign exchange trading software is a universal foreign exchange trading software of the global formal foreign exchange platform, with good stability. Regular foreign exchange platforms basically provide MT4 account opening services. One of the ways for investors to identify a regular foreign exchange platform is to check whether the foreign exchange platform provides MT4 foreign exchange transactions when opening an account.
