What are clone brokers?
As it turns out, clone brokers are on the rise these days, with fraudulent companies setting up shop by using names of reputable companies to trick clients into thinking that theyre trading with a regulated Forex firm. They even use the license number of regulated brokers to fool traders into opening accounts with them! And identity theft is a typical fraudulent method for “cloned companies”: the fraudster uses information about an actual authorized company, such as company registration number (CRN), address, email, etc., to gain credibility and even legitimacy in order to convince and solicit investors.
