Apex Global Assets (apex-globalassets.com) Automated Portal Scam

Apex Global Assets (apex-globalassets.com) Automated Portal Scam

Apex Global Assets is an investment site at apex-globalassets.com that says it offers an "automated trading portal". On 6 November 2026 the UK financial authority, the FCA, published a warning that the site may be providing financial services without authorisation.

In short: Apex Global Assets is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The scheme points to a story in which trust is won with a pre-loaded demo balance and payments are then demanded as "tax" and a "compliance penalty" when a large withdrawal is requested. Claiming back money transferred this way is legally possible.

🚩 How Does the Automated Portal Scheme Work?

According to the account given about the platform, people who make contact as "representatives" suggest trying the automated trading portal. The account shows a pre-loaded demo balance of 45,000 euros, and trust is built by approving a small withdrawal. Larger sums are then requested; when a large withdrawal is requested, the account is said to be "flagged" and new payments are demanded, first as tax and then as a compliance penalty. In schemes of this kind, the same people are also seen to be approached again at a later stage with "fund recovery" offers.

🔍 Address, Email and Domain

  • Claimed address: C1 Eastside Business Park, Beach Road, Newhaven BN9 0FB (the address in the FCA record).
  • Email: [email protected]
  • Domain: apex-globalassets.com was registered in May 2025.
  • Apex Global MarketsTR, which has a similar name, is a different scheme; no connection between them has been established.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

We have also reviewed platforms that demand payment at withdrawal on the pretext of tax or a block.

🧭 The Route to Getting Money Back

Collecting money through a portal that is not real is treated as qualified fraud under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code, where computer systems are used as the tool. Whether this service may be provided in Türkiye can be seen from the SPK list of authorised firms. By tracing the money, the routes for a refund from a foreign firm and an unjust enrichment restitution claimTR are handled together.
