Weekly Scam Broker List: 12 Brokers Warned by FCA ( August 24–30, 2026 )

From August 24 to 30, 2026, BrokersView compiled the latest list of fraudulent brokers published by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), listing 12 trading platforms that had received warnings.

The list highlights the importance of due diligence and knowing how to check if a broker is regulated before opening or funding a trading account.

The following 12 names were included in the weekly risk list:

Why FCA Warnings Matter

An official regulatory warning is an important risk signal for traders. It indicates that investors should conduct further checks before dealing with the named entity.

A broker's website, trading interface or claims of regulatory status should not be treated as sufficient evidence of authorisation. The legal entity, licence details and regulatory status should be independently verified through the relevant regulator.

How to Check If a Broker Is Regulated

Before depositing funds, investors should:

Identify the broker's exact legal entity.
Check the claimed licence or registration number.
Search for the entity directly on the regulator's official register.
Check whether the regulator has published a warning.
Confirm that the website and contact details match the regulated entity.

Extra caution should be applied when a broker provides unclear regulatory information or when its details cannot be independently verified.

Investor Due Diligence

Regulatory status is only one part of broker due diligence. Traders should also review the broker's legal documentation, client-fund arrangements, jurisdiction and applicable investor-protection framework.

If a platform has been identified in an official regulatory warning, investors should carefully assess the potential risks before proceeding.

BrokersView Risk Reminder

This weekly list is intended to help investors identify potential risks and conduct further checks. Inclusion in the list should be understood in the context of the relevant regulatory warning and should not replace independent verification.

Before funding any account, verify the broker’s regulatory status through official regulatory bodies or consult third-party platforms such as Brokersview that specialize in broker verification or risk warnings.
