Capital Fx (capitaltr.forex) Clone Site Scam Warning

Capital Fx presents itself on the Turkish-language site capitaltr.forex as a "Hong Kong-based forex broker with more than 20 years of experience". The user is assigned a "portfolio management expert"; after a profit screen in the first weeks, the account is drained down to the stop-out level through high-lot trades.
🔍 Whose Identity Is Being Used?
The footer of the site gives the company name Capital Securities (Hong Kong) Limited (shown on the site in Chinese characters) and the address 3/F., FWD Financial Centre, 308 Des Voeux Road Central. This name belongs to a real brokerage firm operating in Hong Kong; no connection with capitaltr.forex has been found, and a foreign licence is not valid for investment services in Türkiye. The domain was registered on 4 March 2026 through NameCheap, which contradicts the claim of a "20-year" institution. The only contact channel is a WhatsApp number, +49 179 1523119, that looks like a German line.
🚩 Draining the Account with a "Portfolio Expert"
- Getting the person to open an MT5 account over WhatsApp and assigning an expert
- Building trust with small profits in the first week
- The account reaching stop-out through positions the expert opens with high lots
- An expectation of new investment with the promise "we will cover the loss"
