Novopus
We checked Novopus against the AskCheck register. It has been reported (2023) and carries the red flags below. Treat it with extreme caution.
Why it’s flagged
What we found
Novopus claims to be legally offer financial services or products in forex trading by displaying images of certificates issued by Colorado Secretary of State and the the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). We did find matching data on the former website, but couldn't find this company in the latter's register. The broker may be using a combination of true and false information to deceive unsuspecting investors. Furthermore, Colorado Secretary of State is to provide management and central support services for the Department of State and the FinCEN is to safeguard the financial system from illicit use and combat money laundering and promote national security through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence and strategic use of financial authorities. Both of them do not regulate forex markets. The authority to issue forex licenses and regulate entities engaging in such activities rests with the National Futures Association (NFA). However, we found Novopus is not an NFA-member and thus not subject to this regulator's oversight. In essence, Novopus is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting this broker with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. It is unequivocally a scam.
