Penzo Review

About Penzo

Penzo operates via the domain penzolead.com and is not licensed or overseen by any recognized financial regulator; no official registration or regulation by institutions such as FCA, CySEC, ASIC, or NFA/CFTC is found. Multiple complaints describe difficulties with withdrawals, including demands to pay purported "capital gains tax" via a third-party crypto wallet to release funds—conditions not compliant with tax regulation practices. These reports include a case involving a loss of approximately $170,000, where the broker requested payments to an external wallet before allowing withdrawal attempts. Such behavior is consistent with known scam patterns. The broker’s original domain appears to have been suspended and replaced with the current one, indicating potential attempts to evade detection.

Complaints about Penzo include withdrawal refusal, account blocking, and requests for external tax payments—actions characteristic of pig-butchering scams. Regulators or official oversight are absent, and the entity is classified by multiple sources as a scam.
