Weekly Scam Alert: 28 Unregulated or Warned Brokers Added to Brokersview Blacklist (May 18–24, 2026)

Another week, another wave of warnings. Between May 18 and May 24, 2026, multiple financial regulators across Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America issued fresh warnings against brokers and trading platforms suspected of operating without authorization or engaging in potentially misleading financial activities.

According to publicly available regulatory updates monitored by BrokersView, several entities were flagged by authorities including Germany’s BaFin, the UK’s FCA, Spain’s CNMV, Cyprus’ CySEC, and other global regulators.

Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) issued warnings against seven platforms this week, including Landmarkgroup, Aurixa, Robozen FX, Imperyx Group, Bitwerk, TradeGateAG, and Foris Capital. The regulator cautioned investors that these entities may be offering financial services without proper authorization.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also expanded its warning list, naming Algorithm Tradings, Xera Prime, Bep Trade, Market1, Market Options, and Apex Trade Vault. The FCA reminded consumers that dealing with unauthorized firms increases the risk of financial loss and limits access to investor protections.

Meanwhile, Spain’s CNMV warned against Alpha Mercado and TradingEuropeBV, while Cyprus’ CySEC flagged CFD Capitals and Globaletradecif.

In other regions, Australia’s ASIC issued a warning against Supa Trade, Canada’s BCSC warned investors about ICM24, Malaysia’s Securities Commission listed BitradeX, and France’s AMF added Auc to its warning list.

Several platforms, including Spova, PoxPrime, Chalixa Capital, Nest Markets, TradoWix, and Vexith Capital, were identified by market observers as operating without recognizable regulatory authorization.

The growing number of regulatory alerts highlights the continued risks facing retail investors in the online trading sector. Fraudulent platforms often use aggressive marketing, unrealistic profit promises, and cloned regulatory credentials to attract users globally.
