Attention! Be Super-Alerted When Working With Offshore Broker NordFX

A few weeks ago, we brought our initial review about the offshore broker NordFX and connected it with a warning. Whistleblowers informed us that the operators of NordFX were three Russians living in the Netherlands. They would also be behind the company Nord Group Investments Inc., which we could not find. We were informed that the NordFX operators were under criminal investigation. We would like to know more and ask our whistleblowers for additional information. Be very careful!

Be Cautious With Unauthorized Offshore Broker NordFX!

NordFX is an offshore broker registered in Vanuatu that operates through several websites, primarily in Asia, and offers leverage of up to 1:1,000. The website says no clients from North America and the EU are accepted. However, we could register as EU residents in our review. NordFX has an extensive portfolio of payment processors.

Investor Alert! Unauthorized Offshore Broker XtreamForex Solicits Clients In Europe.

We recently spotted XtreamForex on our radar screen. The offshore broker is allegedly operated by Marshall Islands registered Xtream Markets Ltd and Grand Investing Ltd and claims to have a license in the Marshall Islands. However, such an offshore license would be irrelevant to most other regulatory regimes in this world. According to Similarweb, XtreamForex was visited mostly by U.S. residents between Sept and Oct 2022. In December, on the other hand, most visitors came from Pakistan, Turkey and Vietnam. Stay Far Away.
