Have You Seen This?

How Binary Options & Fake Broker Scams Typically Play Out

These operations are highly scripted — every stage is designed to extract more money while keeping access to your funds permanently out of reach.

1

You are recruited through an online ad, cold call, or referral promising exceptional returns through binary options or forex trading
2

An account manager walks you through registration and your first deposit — the platform interface looks polished and professional
3

Your account shows growing profits and the manager encourages larger deposits to maximise your returns
4

When you request a withdrawal, a series of obstacles appear — verification fees, regulatory compliance charges, account upgrade requirements
5

The manager goes silent, the platform becomes inaccessible, and all contact ceases

Warning Signs

Red Flags of a Fake Broker Operation

Binary options scams share consistent warning signs. Recognising even one or two of these is reason enough to stop and get your case assessed.

Broker Conduct Red Flags

Unsolicited contact — you did not seek them out, they found you
Strong pressure to deposit quickly before an opportunity closes
Request to give them remote access to your computer or phone
Bonus offers that lock your funds until impossible trading targets are met

Licence & Regulation Issues

Binary options trading for retail investors is banned in Canada — any platform offering it is operating illegally
Displayed licence numbers do not match any known regulator database
Regulatory logos are used without authorisation from the actual body
Platform claims jurisdiction in a country with no verifiable oversight

Platform Cannot Be Verified

Questions

FAQ — Binary Options & Fake Broker Scams

Clear answers about what we investigate, what your options are, and what our report can do for your case.

Is binary options trading legal in Canada?

No. The Canadian Securities Administrators banned binary options trading for retail investors in 2017. Any platform offering binary options to Canadians is operating outside the law — which significantly strengthens your case when reporting to authorities. Our investigation documents this illegal operation as part of the misrepresentation pattern in your report.

The broker said the fees I paid were regulatory requirements. Is that true?

No. No legitimate broker or regulator requires you to pay fees before releasing funds that are already in your account. This is a standard extraction tactic — each fee paid is followed by a new one. We document every demand made and use it as direct evidence of misrepresentation and fraudulent intent in your case report.

The broker had remote access to my computer. What should I do?

Contact an IT professional immediately to check for any software that may have been installed during that session. Do not use the device for banking or sensitive accounts until it has been checked. Preserve any records of the remote access session if possible and include this in your case submission — remote access is a significant evidence point and strengthens the fraud documentation considerably.

Can I report this to Canadian authorities?

Yes — and you should. Report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at antifraudcentre.ca, file a police report with your local service, and submit a complaint to your provincial securities regulator. Because binary options are banned in Canada, this is also a regulatory matter — the OSC, AMF, and BCSC all investigate these cases. Our report is structured specifically to support all of these submissions.
