Answer: Hi Anonymous,

According to the mentioned broker’s website – “QaTrade is a trade name of Ikonen Gold (Pty) Ltd, a juristic representative of Unum Capital (Pty) Ltd an authorized financial services provider, licensed and regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, with FSP. No. 564. ”

We have found that Ikonen Gold (Pty) Ltd and Unum Capital (Pty) Ltd are indeed registered and authorized by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, however, it looks like QaTrade simply uses the regulatory details of another Regulated company and in fact has no relation to the abovementioned companies, therefore deluding potential investors. This kind of brokers are often called clone firms and are highly risky companies almost 100% Scam.

So in order to protect yourself, we would advise you request a withdrawal to see if they are going to provide it to you. If they do not release your funds, you can report to your local regulatory authority, in your case it’s FSCA in South Africa. And in the future use only legit regulated companies for your safety accessing them through registered official sites, alike Unum Capital and Ikonen provide sites are different and you can find them on official register of FSCA. While QaTrade is not related to any of those two companies, but making false claims probably with the purpose of scam.
