7startradeoptions Scam: CFD and Copy Trading Warning

Although the word "options" is in its name, 7startradeoptions presents itself as a brokerage offering CFDs on shares, gold, oil, indices and crypto. The service the site pushes hardest is a system for "copying the trades of experienced investors". The FCA added the site to its warning list on 20 July 2026; the site is still online today.

🎭 What Lies Behind the Copy Trading Promise

The site says that hundreds of strategies can be copied, that risk is limited automatically through "advanced calculations", and that client funds are protected by a high-value insurance policy. The name of the institution providing this insurance is not given anywhere. In a copy trading scheme the user does not trade on their own decisions, so cannot verify whether the profit or loss seen on screen is based on a real market transaction.

📞 Addresses, Phone Numbers and Emails on the Site

The contact page lists the address 11 Grace Avenue, Ste 108, Great Neck, New York and the number 702-706-4466, while the FCA entry shows 1 Canada Square in London. Besides [email protected], the emails include [email protected], an address carrying the name of an unrelated fan club. This second address clearly shows that the site was copied from a ready-made template. The domain was registered through Tucows on 29 October 2025 for one year.

⚖️ SPK Authorisation

7startradeoptions is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK); it does not appear in the SPK list of authorised brokerage firms. SPK Decision No. 5/173 of 3 February 2017 serves as a warning against schemes that give unauthorised investment direction over the internet and social media. Acts of this kind, in which computer systems are used as a tool, are treated as qualified fraud under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.
