OctexTrade
We checked OctexTrade 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
OctexTrade claims to be one of the largest forex and cryptocurrency brands around which is authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC), and the Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa. However, we did not find any match results for this broker in the above watchdogs' registries. The regulatory information this broker claim is a false statement for unsuspecting traders. Besides, this broker shows its company address is in the United States. As per United States law, US residents and citizens are only permitted to operate with CTFC- and NFA-regulated forex brokers. Firms and individuals, who need to possess the relevant regulations issued by the National Futures Association (NFA) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will be allowed to solicit or approach US citizens. However, we did not find any match results to OctexTrade in the above two regulatory bodies. The truth is, OctexTrade is not under valid regulation by any regulators to do forex. Investors' funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is a scam.

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 OctexTrade.
- Verify on the register. Cross-check the full entry on the SentFunds register before you trust anyone offering to help.
