Doo Prime Scam Warning: Withdrawals Blocked, Fake Clone Sites

Doo Prime presents itself as a global brokerage licensed in several countries and has used the name D Prime since August 2025. Complaints from Türkiye and other countries focus mainly on withdrawal requests being refused on profitable accounts and on profits being cancelled on grounds of "abuse". In addition, the brand's name is used by imitation websites that have nothing to do with it.

🏢 Who Is Doo Prime / D Prime?

The brand was founded in 2014, its umbrella structure is known as Doo Group, and it moved to the name D Prime in August 2025. We also cover the same operation under its new name in our D PRIME (DooPrime) articleTR. The units the group discloses include companies licensed by the UK FCA, Australia's ASIC and Cyprus's CySEC, as well as offshore companies licensed by the Mauritius FSC, the Seychelles FSA and the Vanuatu VFSC. The Vanuatu approval was announced in April 2020 and the Mauritius investment dealer licence in June 2020.

For this reason, the "fake licence" wording in the earlier version of this article has been removed, because it could not be verified. The real question is which unit the Turkish investor signed the contract with: offshore companies, such as the unit with a Vanuatu address, do not offer the protection provided by investor compensation schemes in Europe or the United Kingdom.

🚩 Practices That Stand Out in the Complaints

The headings below recur in investor reports. They are the claims of the complainants; the company has not given a public response.

• Profit cancellation and refused withdrawals: On accounts that made gains, it is alleged that profits were deleted on grounds such as "abusive trading", "bonus abuse" or news trading, and that only the principal was returned. In July 2026, investors from Brazil, Malaysia, Pakistan, Colombia, Bangladesh and the UAE reported similar blocked withdrawals.
• Profit withheld without a technical reason: On accounts opened through the Vanuatu-licensed unit, it is alleged that profits were held back without any concrete technical evidence being presented.
• Loss of balance: Some investors have claimed that their account balance was wiped out by high-volume positions opened without their knowledge.
• Fees deducted without notice: It is complained that fees were taken from inactive accounts without prior notification.
• Unresponsive support: On withdrawal and account problems, it is said that no result could be obtained from live support and e-mails for a long time.

A user account published in June 2026 alleged that advertisements were placed on social media under the name DPrime, that investors were added to WhatsApp and Telegram groups, and that after small gains were shown, a tax and security-deposit fee was requested for withdrawal. This account has not been independently verified; however, the request for extra fees at withdrawal matches known patterns such as money being locked by bonus and withdrawal conditionsTR.

🔍 Domain Names and the Imitation Site Warning

The addresses used by the group include dooprime.com (main site), user.dooprime.com (client portal), dooprime.net, and dooprimeads1.com and dooprimeads3.com, which are aimed at the Chinese market; the footer of the last two shows the Vanuatu unit as the operator but gives no licence number.

This picture contains two separate risks: withdrawal disputes with the brand's own offshore units, and money sent to imitation sites that use the brand's name. Which of the two applies is evident from the recipient account on the payment receipt and from the domain name used.

⚖️ SPK Authorisation and the Legal Position

Doo Prime / D Prime holds no activity permit from the Capital Markets Board in Türkiye; foreign licences do not authorise offering leveraged transactions to persons resident in Türkiye. SPK Board Decision No. 8/297 of 24.02.2017 classifies bringing together persons resident in Türkiye and foreign institutions for leveraged transactions as unauthorised activity.

Contracts with offshore units often contain a foreign-law and arbitration clause; the validity of these clauses with regard to a Turkish consumer is assessed separately. The details are in our article on arbitration clauses in disputes with foreign brokers.

🛡️ Checks Before Investing

• Whether an institution is authorised in Türkiye can be checked in the SPK list of authorised institutions.
• The contract shows in which country, and under which regulator, the company opening the account operates; it should be borne in mind that offshore units do not provide compensation cover.
• Sites that carry the brand name but do not exactly match the official address, and investment invitations arriving through social media groups, are recognised warning signs.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

Operations that serve clients under an offshore licence and make withdrawals difficult on profitable accounts, or that imitate the name of a well-known brand, share similar features with this case. We have covered other platforms with the same scheme before:

🧭 How Does the Legal Process Work?

1. Gathering the records: The contract, account statements, withdrawal request correspondence, profit cancellation notices and payment receipts are brought together.
2. Identifying the counterparty: Whether the money went to a unit of the group or to an imitation site is established from the recipient account and the domain name.
3. Criminal and civil routes: For imitation operations and unauthorised activity, the criminal complaint process is assessed; for the claim itself, the routes for a refund from a foreign forex company are assessed.
