Abstract:The Austrian regulator FMA has issued a warning about the TRENDSMACRO broker scam (www.trendsmacro.com). Ascana Group Ltd, a Marshall Islands-based company, is purportedly the perpetrator of this shoddy white-label scheme. The good news for potential victims is that deposits can only be made once you have been unlocked, which means you have uploaded your documents. Under no circumstances should you do this. Scammers will utilize your personal information and documents, such as passports, proof of address, phone number, and email address, to commit identity theft.
The Austrian regulator FMA issued a warning against the TRENDSMACRO (www.trendsmacro.com) broker scam. The operator of this poorly and sloppily done white-label scam is allegedly Ascana Group Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands. The reasonably good news for potential victims is that deposits are only possible if you are unlocked beforehand, i.e. upload your documents. Please do not do this under any circumstances. The scammers will misuse your personal data and documents such as passports, proof of address, phone number, and email.
The Terms and Conditions also mention an office in London with the address 7 Bell Yard, London, WC2A 2JR where the office space provider The London Office is located. We have recently found several scams at the addresses of this provider.
The scammers behind TRENDSMACRO have used fake reviews like on Forex Charts or Finance Brokerage to get a good rating and recommendation. On Trustpilot, however, the scam has only a 2.2-star rating with a “Poor” trust level. Do not fall for the scam and keep your money.
