CDO Markets
We checked CDO Markets against the AskCheck register. It has been reported (2022) and carries the red flags below. Treat it with extreme caution.
Why it’s flagged
What we found
While CDO Markets presents itself professionally and claims to be licensed by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), we still consider it a suspicious trading platform due to several warning signs: Firstly, the VFSC does not disclose adequate information about license holders, including their associated website addresses. This lack of transparency makes it unclear whether CDO Markets (cdomarkets.com) is genuinely operated by the VFSC licensee. There is a possibility of identity theft, where a shady broker copies information from a legitimate firm to appear credible. Secondly, the office address listed on CDO Markets is not a real office location. Instead, it appears to be a shared registration address used by multiple companies. It is common for businesses, especially in offshore financial centers, to use such addresses for registration purposes. This lack of transparency regarding CDO Markets' company information is concerning. Thirdly, Vanuatu, as an offshore area, does not provide stringent supervision and offers minimal protections for investors. This should be a major consideration when researching a broker.

What to do next
- Stop sending money. Don’t make another deposit, pay a “tax” or “release fee”, or share remote-access to your device.
- Gather your evidence. Save statements, chat logs, transaction IDs and the wallet addresses you paid to.
- Report it to your regulator and to local police / action-fraud line so it’s on the official record.
- Add your report here so the next person searching this name is warned — report CDO Markets.
- Verify on the register. Cross-check the full entry on the SentFunds register before you trust anyone offering to help.
