Blackswan Trading Scam: Clone of a UK-Authorised Firm

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 27 October 2026

Blackswan-trading.com, which borrowed a real company's registry details and named itself "Blackswan Trading", is a clone site that takes on the identity of Black Swan Financial Services Ltd, a firm authorised in the United Kingdom. The British financial authority, the FCA, listed this site as a clone firm in July 2026.

In short: Blackswan Trading is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and has no connection with the real British firm it imitates. On clone sites the payments go not to the real company but to the fraudsters' accounts; claiming this money back is legally possible.

🔍 The Difference Between the Real Black Swan and the Clone

The real firm is Black Swan Financial Services Ltd; its FCA registration number is 651982, its address is in Rownhams near Southampton, and it has no connection with the clone site. The clone, for its part, used the domain blackswan-trading.com and the email address [email protected]. The domain was registered in December 2025 and has since been suspended by the registrar. The clone scheme is not authorised by the SPK.

🚩 How Does the Clone Site Scheme Work?

The real firm's registration number and address are displayed on the site, so when a user checks, the record turns out to be "correct".
Communication, however, runs only through the clone's own email address and phone numbers.
The investment is sent to accounts or crypto wallets that do not belong to the real firm.

This method is explained in detail in our article on clone sites of brokerage firms and banks. Under Decision No. 8/297 of the SPK, directing customers from Türkiye to leveraged trading is unauthorised activity.

❓ Questions

Is Black Swan Financial Services Ltd a scam?

No. The real firm is an authorised British company with no relationship to the clone site; its name was used without permission.

I checked the registration number on the site and it was correct. Why is it a clone?

Clones deliberately use the real registration details; what is decisive is whether the domain, the email and the payment account belong to the real firm.

Can I claim my money from the real company?

Because the money did not reach the real company, the counterparties are the persons who use the accounts the payment went to.
