DEV SMART TRADING Scam Warning: FCA-Listed Trading Site

Savun Law & Consultancy · Updated 25 October 2026

DEV SMART TRADING is a short-lived trading site that opened in March 2026 and was added to the UK financial authority's warning list in July. The main trace that stands out is that its contact details are identical to those of a broad family of fake brokerages gathered at a single address in New York.

In short: DEV SMART TRADING is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The site is part of an operation that runs under many names with the same address and phone number; these schemes show a balance and then demand new payments at the withdrawal stage. Claiming the transferred money back is legally possible.

⚙️ How the Sites in This Network Operate

In schemes of this kind the user is brought onto the dashboard with a small first deposit, profits from forex, crypto or CFD trades are shown on screen, and the account manager asks for larger amounts. When a withdrawal is requested, new payments appear under the name of commission, tax or guarantee; the site is shut down within a few months and another name is opened with the same contact details.

DEV SMART TRADING does not appear on the list of SPK-authorised brokerage firms; SPK Decision No. 8/297 of 24.02.2017 defines intermediation in leveraged transactions from abroad to investors in Türkiye as unauthorised activity.

🔗 Other Sites Using the Same Phone Number

The number +1 702 706 4466 and the Great Neck address have appeared before on the following platforms:
