Abstract:The British regulator FCA issued official warnings against ROYAL STOCK FX, MX INVESTMENT GROUP and BLUFX on December 5th!!!

To make things straight from the very beginning, on our next screenshots you may check the recent warnings issued on December 5th against 3 Illegal brokers, namely ROYAL STOCK FX, MX INVESTMENT GROUP and BLUFX, by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK. The FCA, one of the best financial regulatory bodies in the world, has found reasons to distrust the 3 brokers and has issued warnings on them – something that can definitely damage the reputation of even the best of brokers. Take a look:

According to the FCA, none of ROYAL STOCK FX, MX INVESTMENT GROUP and BLUFX is authorized to offer financial services in the UK. In fact, the FCA has stated that these are not licensed brokers and therefore you would not be entitled to any protections. Such warnings prove with almost absolute certainty that a company is running some sort of scam – so refrain from choosing shady enterprises that have received the negative attention of reputable financial authorities like the FCA. The only way to be sure that your investment is in good hands and that you would be treated fairly and in accordance with all laws would be to turn to a licensed, legitimate broker.
