DEMINI TRADES (deminitradefx.com) Scam Warning: Borrowed Addresses

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 28 October 2026

DEMINI TRADES is a scheme that opens forex accounts through deminitradefx.com while appearing to have offices in two separate financial centres. Well-known addresses in London's Canary Wharf and Frankfurt's banking district have been placed behind a domain registered in June 2026. The UK financial regulator, the FCA, added the firm to its list of unauthorised firms on 19 October 2026.

In short: DEMINI TRADES is a forex platform not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK); it uses prestigious business-centre addresses to win trust. Legal routes are available for claiming back money sent to platforms of this kind.

🏢 Borrowed Prestige: Two Cities, Two Addresses

The addresses the firm declares, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf (London) and Mainzer Landstrasse 50 (Frankfurt), are well-known office towers that house many genuine institutions. Having these addresses written on a site does not show that the company has an office there or holds a licence in any country; the FCA also points out in its warning that firms of this kind can give contact details belonging to someone else.

The domain deminitradefx.com was registered on 14 June 2026; instead of content, the site greets visitors with a "bot verification" screen. No public phone number or company registry information is shared in the firm's name.

🚩 How the Scheme Runs Once an Account Is Opened

The account is run by a "senior analyst" or "portfolio manager"; the trades are opened by that person, not by the client.
After the first deposit, a rising balance is shown on the panel and a move to a larger account package is suggested.
When a withdrawal is requested, a new payment is demanded under the name of tax, collateral or an "international transfer fee".
If it is not paid, the account is wiped on the grounds of a "margin call", or contact is cut off.

In Türkiye, leveraged trading intermediation can be carried out only with SPK authorisation; SPK Decision No. 8/297 treats the activity of schemes offering unauthorised leveraged trading as unauthorised capital markets activity. The firm's name is not in the SPK list of authorised institutions.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

We have also covered other forex and crypto sites that put well-known addresses such as Canary Wharf on display.

🧭 How Does the Legal Process Work?

The process begins with identifying the accounts the money was sent to; establishing that the firm has no SPK registrationTR is one of the basic elements of each case. A criminal complaint process then follows, and an asset investigationTR can be carried out into the owners of the recipient accounts.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does DEMINI TRADES really have an office in Canary Wharf?

The address written on the site does not prove that an office exists. The UK financial regulator has listed the firm as unauthorised and has noted that the contact details given may belong to someone else.

Why does deminitradefx.com not open directly?

The site shows a bot verification screen instead of content. Screens of this kind are also used to hide a site from automated scans and from the bodies that compile warning lists.

Are DEMINI and EminiFX the same company?

No connection of this kind has been identified. The similarity in names may come from choosing names that recall well-known brands.
