🛡️ How to protect yourself
- Before you deposit money, check the broker’s licence in the regulator’s register — our guide on how to verify a broker’s licence walks you through it.
- Watch out for names that closely mimic well-known firms — clones copy the logos, addresses and licence numbers of genuine brokers.
- Never install remote-desktop apps or share SMS codes with anyone who offers to “help you invest”.
- Search the full database on our warning list, and compare vetted brokers in our forex broker ranking.
