FCA Warning: Low-Cost “Clone Sites” Resurface, Multiple Fake Forex Platforms Exposed

The UKs Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has once again issued a warning against a batch of fraudulent trading platforms. These so-called “clone sites” are created at extremely low cost, often by reusing the same website template, swapping only the domain name and brand, and then presenting themselves as entirely new “platforms” to deceive investors.

Platforms Named in the Warning

The latest alert highlights the following websites, all of which have no connection to licensed institutions:

• APEX CAPITAL MARKETS – https://apexcapitalmarkets.net
• Wealthy Gainer AI – https://wealthy-gainer-ai.net
• Billionaire Trade – www.billionairetrade.net
• Bitcoin Bank Breaker – www.bitcoin-bankbreaker.net
• Gamma Wealthix – https://gamma-wealthix.net
• Dynasty Trade – https://dynastytrade.net
• DCC Invest – https://dccinvest.net
• Ideacrypto – https://ideacrypto.net
• InvestCAN – https://investcan.net
• Cryptosoft – www.cryptosoftapp.net

What these sites have in common is simple: they are mass-produced from a uniform template, requiring minimal technical input. Many directly copy trading interfaces and marketing language, appearing professional but lacking any regulatory credentials.

Clone Sites Are Widespread

According to WikiFXs system database, cases of “clone sites” have surged in recent years. These fraudulent platforms often appear in batches—when one is exposed, new domains quickly emerge. The model is straightforward: low cost, rapid deployment, wide-scale targeting.

To further mislead, some fake platforms even create fabricated “rating pages,” posing as independent review sites and giving themselves inflated scores. This manufactured credibility is designed to make unsuspecting investors believe they are dealing with a trusted entity.

WikiFX has previously reported on similar schemes. For more details, see: Clone Sites Continue to Spread.

How Investors Can Identify Clone Sites

When reviewing online platforms, investors should watch for the following warning signs:

• Suspicious domains: Often a single added or altered letter makes an address appear legitimate.
• Identical content: Page layouts, marketing slogans, and even customer testimonials are recycled, with only brand names swapped.
• Missing regulatory details: Genuine license information is absent, or the numbers provided cannot be verified with regulators.
• Deposit pressure: Aggressive promises of high returns or “limited-time offers” push investors to transfer money quickly.
• Fake endorsements: Claims of authority ratings or certifications are usually fabricated through self-made pages.

To reduce risks, investors should always verify suspicious platforms using the WikiFX Query Tool. WikiFX provides up-to-date information on broker regulatory status, official website addresses, as well as user complaints and exposure records. Leveraging these resources helps investors identify risks early and avoid falling victim to “clone sites.”
