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.
🚩 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.

🧭 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.
