About SELFTRADEINV

SELFTRADEINV is not authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and is included on the FCA’s Warning List under an “unauthorised firm” status. The FCA identifies the websites and as being operated without permission. The firm is therefore not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service, meaning that client funds lack regulatory protection. The initial warning was published on 23 April 2025, with the page subsequently updated on 16 March 2026.

The broker offers services in forex and cryptocurrency trading, as indicated on its website, but it holds no regulatory license from any competent authority. Domain registration data shows that the website was created on 22 May 2024. Fraud-risk analysis tools report high phishing and malware scores, placing the domain in a “questionable” risk category.

Multiple customer complaints detail issues with withdrawals and escalating requests for additional fees before funds were released. In one case, a customer reported being able to withdraw a small amount initially before the account was frozen and access to larger funds was blocked. Another report involves a loss of over $215,000 due to repeated unexplained charges. These accounts reflect patterns typical of scam operations. and
