Alpari is a Russian broker, or at least it has its roots there. It was founded in 1998 by Russian-born Andrey Dashin in Kazan, Russia. Allegedly, it has more than 2 million customers. According to the UK Companies House information, Dashin lives in Cyprus. He also operates the CySEC and FCA regulated broker ForexTime there. Both ForexTime and Alpari are operated through offshore brokers with a network of various legal entities. Also, in close cooperation with the CySEC and FCA regulated Fortrade. The UK FCA has now issued a warning against Alpari.
Recently we reported that an investor warning issued by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) against TorexFX (https://torexfx.com) was incorrect. The FCA claimed that TorexFX and the domains associated with this scam https://gloryft.com and https://fxen.gloryft.com as illegally acting clones of the FCA and CySEC regulated broker ForTrade. In fact, however, these sites are jointly operated by ForTrade and the Russian broker Alpari. Both brokers have a vast network of entities, domains, and websites. We want to learn more about them and their activities.
