Capital Fx (capitaltr.forex) Clone Site Scam Warning

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.

In short: Capital Fx is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The site is a clone that gains trust by using the name and address of a real brokerage firm in Hong Kong; that real firm has no connection with this scheme and its name is being misused. Claiming back the losses is legally possible.

🔍 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"

🔗 Operations Showing the Same Scheme

We have also examined before the platforms that imitate the identity of a real institution and use advisor-managed accounts.

🧭 The Legal Process

SPK Board Decision No. 8/297 of 24 February 2017 defines unauthorised intermediation from Türkiye for foreign leveraged trading platforms as an unlawful activity.

  1. Determining the path open to victims
  2. Assessing the routes for a refund
