Equistocktrades.live Scam Warning: Two Brands, One Channel

Equistocktrades.live evokes stock trading, yet it is an operation that conducts its correspondence with investors not from its own domain but from investiqventures.pro. The FCA added this site on 12 October 2026 to its list of firms operating without authorisation. Both domains were bought from the same intermediary firm, a few weeks apart.
🔍 One Site, Two Brands: The Findings
- Website: www.equistocktrades.live — registered 29.04.2026 (Dynadot)
- Email: [email protected]
- Second domain: investiqventures.pro — registered 02.04.2026 (Dynadot)
- Mobile line: +44 7348 431340 (UK mobile number)

Both sites greet the visitor first with a "robot verification" screen; this serves to hide the content from automated crawlers and review tools. No fixed office address is declared.
📊 What the Stock Panel Really Does
In operations of this kind, the investor is given an account screen on which they appear to buy shares of well-known companies, and the balance is shown rising quickly. The positions on the screen are not held with any custodian; when a withdrawal is requested, a new payment is demanded first as "tax" and then as "account verification".
Article 109 of Capital Markets Law No. 6362 makes carrying out capital markets activity without authorisation a crime, and Equistocktrades.live is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). An institution's authorisation can be seen on the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions; for the method, our SPK licence lookup guideTR can be consulted.
