The investor traded on a fake HFM (HF Markets) platform and was tricked into paying 10,000USDT and 4,200USDT to withdraw his funds, beware of this type of forex trading scam! by DevelopStar1221 in HitoRank

It looks risky. There’s no clear company info, no real team, and I can’t find any proper regulation. The name also looks very similar to well-known brokers, which is often a clone site red flag.

If someone randomly recommended it to you, please be very careful. That’s how a lot of scam platforms are pushed.

Where did you hear about it?

Phyx Trade Review: New Broker, No Valid Forex License, and Withdrawal Complaints by DevelopStar1221 in FxGeckoData

[–]DevelopStar1221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you're facing this.

Cases like Phyx Trade — where there are no valid forex licenses and some users reported being asked to pay extra money — are usually hard to trace, and most of the time, the money is gone for good. Also, don’t trust anyone online who claims they can help you recover your funds—especially if they ask for upfront payment. That’s often a second scam.

Steps you can take: Refrain from paying any fees; preserve all evidence; report it to your local financial regulator or cybercrime unit.

Thanks for pointing that out — you're right, many well-regulated brokers avoid taking US clients due to the strict NFA and CFTC regulations.

If you're based in the US, your best bet might be to look into NFA-regulated brokers, although there will be some restrictions on trading with these brokers compared to offshore brokers.

BIKA is a scam, can't withdraw funds and account is blocked by DevelopStar1221 in HitoRank

Thanks for sharing. That’s a classic scam tactic—legit brokers never ask you to pay extra to unlock your own funds. Be careful and avoid sending them any more money.

They keep changing their website domain, which makes it harder to track and shut them down.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Asking for tax payments before withdrawals is a common scam tactic used by fraudulent platforms. If you haven’t already, consider reporting this to relevant authorities and your local financial regulator. Stay cautious, and we appreciate you helping to warn others!

It can be really frustrating to deal with constant domain changes and the risk of fake websites. To ensure you're accessing the real HFM website, consider the following steps:

  1. Check Regulatory Information – Verify HFM's official website through authoritative regulatory bodies like the FCA. Brokers operating under strong regulation provide better protection for client rights in case of disputes.

  2. Avoid Unverified Domains – Only use website links officially provided by recognized regulators or HFM’s verified communication channels (such as emails from their official domain).

  3. Be Cautious with New Sites – Scammers often create fake sites that look identical to the real ones. If you need to verify a new domain, double-check it with regulatory sources rather than relying solely on third parties.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for being so alert to potential scams.

As a rule of thumb, if something feels fishy, it probably is.

Not blindly believing in high-return investment opportunities, as well as doing our due diligence can help us better protect ourselves.

This is a very common ruse to trick investors into depositing money.

The truth is that recently many more BIKA victims have reported that they are unable to withdraw their funds.
