ArgoFX

⚠ Flagged on the register · High risk

We checked ArgoFX against the AskCheck register. It has been reported (2023) and carries the red flags below. Treat it with extreme caution.

Why it’s flagged

⚑ Unregulated / unlicensed⚑ Offshore / shell registration
Named in relation to FCA (UK)

What we found

ArgoFX presents itself as a trading platform offering access to a variety of trading assets, including forex pairs, commodities, and indices. However, it is an unregulated broker. ArgoFX refers to itself under different company names in its legal notices. In its Terms and Conditions, it states that the website is operated by Swilt Group Limited, supposedly based in Seychelles. However, our search in the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (Seychelles FSA) registry yielded no results for this company, indicating that it is not licensed or regulated in Seychelles. This is a significant red flag. Conversely, in its Risk Disclosure Notice, it identifies itself as ArgoFX LLC. Despite listing a UK phone number as its hotline, our search in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)'s register found no record of it. Considering these findings, ArgoFX poses risks of fraud and identity theft. Traders interacting with it will not be protected by any regulatory framework. We conclude that ArgoFX is a scam and strongly advise investors to avoid it.

What to do next

  1. Stop sending money. Don’t make another deposit, pay a “tax” or “release fee”, or share remote-access to your device.
  2. Gather your evidence. Save statements, chat logs, transaction IDs and the wallet addresses you paid to.
  3. Report it to your regulator and to local police / action-fraud line so it’s on the official record.
  4. Add your report here so the next person searching this name is warned — report ArgoFX.
  5. Verify on the register. Cross-check the full entry on the SentFunds register before you trust anyone offering to help.
Beware recovery scams. After a loss, fraudsters often return posing as “recovery agents” who guarantee your money back for an up-front fee. AskCheck is a free public checker — we don’t recover funds and we don’t guarantee funds can be recovered. Never pay anyone who promises a guaranteed recovery.
