Abstract:Stay away from brokerage firms like TF Global that are not authorized by national financial institutions.
Anyone who invests in the forex market has to bear some of the risk, but that is no reason for brokers to commit fraud. Recently, WikiFX received a number of exposures from users about bad dealers, the broker TF Global is one of them. You may check the exposure by investors on the screenshot below.
We can understand that the victim complained that TF Global refused his withdrawal request on the grounds of irregularities, and the teacher who had been in charge of his forex learning did not respond to any messages or calls, as if he had disappeared. As a matter of fact, this is a classic foreign exchange scam. Let's take a look at the signs of fraud at TF Global, a broker that we should be warned against.
TF Global said its a financial derivatives broker and based in the United States. The first step to verifying whether the broker is a viable one is to visit their national financial regulator's website to see if the broker is registered and authorized by an authoritative national financial institution.
As we can see from the figure above that the query result is quite negative –no company named “TF Global” is shown on the National Futures Association(NFA). It clearly proves that TF Global is not authorized by NFA. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) makes it clear that individuals or companies that are not registered with the CFTC and are not members of the NFA are not subject to regulation by the US financial authorities. All members of the public in the United States should stay away from these companies because the financial services they provide are illegal. If anything goes wrong you're unlikely to get your money back.
In addition, to get a better idea of TF Global, WikiFX also paid a visit to its official website. However, the outcome was disappointed, the official website can‘t be reached and tfgloblefx.com’s server IP address could not be found.
Without access to the website, we can't see for ourselves whether it meets the requirements of financial industry. As a broker who claims to be a professional trader, but does not show even the most basic information to users. Obviously, it's covering up something shady.
Moreover, in order to find out more about TF Global, WikiFX made an attempt to access the domain tool to learn about the domain information.
It can be found by tracking its website information that the tfgloblefx.com is for sale! It is easy to know that TF Global did not intend to be in business for the long term when it was registered. It expected to get money and then switch to a new domain name and continue scamming. As it stands now, TF Global 's scam appears to have been busted and can no longer operate, so it is running away with clients' money.
