Arum Trade Scam Warning: Offshore Shares and Forex Accounts

In November 2021 the Central Bank of Russia added the Arum Trade brand to its list of entities showing signs of unauthorised securities brokerage. At arumtrade.com the brand claimed to offer trading in both currency pairs and shares, using a separate client login for registration and a stocks subdomain. Today the main address does not respond.

🚩 Why Are Share and Forex Accounts Offered Together?

In schemes of this kind, shares of well-known companies are displayed to build trust, while the actual trading takes place on a leveraged forex and CFD screen. The balance shown in the account is generated in the platform's own panel; when a withdrawal request arrives, additional payments such as tax, verification or account upgrade fees are demanded.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

We have previously examined offshore brands that ended up on the warning lists of foreign regulators. No shared domain or company registration was found with Arum Capital, which has a similar name.
