BinuxFx is a scam trading platform which claims to offer access to crypto, commodities, Forex and property markets, among others.
The design of the website is reasonably professional, but when you dig beneath the surface a number of red flags emerge.
These include:
- A very new domain registration, despite claims the company has been operating since 2020.
- A Domain Authority (DA) score of 1 suggesting the site gets very little traffic and has no inbound links.
- Links that don’t lead to the content they purport to do. Many simply redirect you to a sign-up page – a classic sign of a scam site.
- Constant pop-ups claiming that someone has just invested a sum of money on the platform.
- Images and content that’s scraped from elsewhere on the web.
- No real company or team information. The team pictures are generic and from a photo repository.
- Claims that are clearly implausible, such as being ‘one of the most reliable and diversified financial investment service provider [sic] in the world’.
- A UK certificate of incorporation that has clearly been edited displayed on a page. However, the company number does not exist on the Companies House register.
- An address in London, which is actually a mail handling centre.
- No official apps or social media presence associated with the site.
- Missing images on some pages, which make them appear broken.
- None of the regulatory information you’d expect from a legitimate platform.
- No reviews about the platform or mention of the site in forums such as Reddit.
Avoid sending any money to this site and ignore anyone who approaches you about investing here.
