Fidor Global Scam Warning: Extra Fees to Withdraw

Fidor Global is a forex scheme that shows the investor profits on a client dashboard at client.fidorglobal.com and, once a withdrawal is requested, asks for one "tax debt", "insurance fee" and "unblocking" fee after another. The main domain, fidorglobal.com, was registered in February 2026.

In short: Fidor Global is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and has no status as a legal investment institution. The method is to build trust with a small first deposit and then tie every withdrawal request to a new payment item. Claiming these payments back is legally possible.

🚩 Extra Payment Items

People who make contact as "investment advisers" first ask for a small deposit and show gains on the dashboard through trading software. When a withdrawal is requested, the following demands arrive in turn:

  • Payment of a tax debt
  • An insurance fee
  • An account opening fee
  • A payment to lift the block

As complaints grow, contact is cut off. In the decision of the 11th Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation dated 25.06.2025 (Docket No. (E.) 2025/2539, Decision No. (K.) 2025/7914), collecting money through schemes of this kind was treated as qualified fraud.

🔍 Findings

  • Domain: fidorglobal.com (February 2026), client panel at client.fidorglobal.com
  • Türkiye: it does not appear in the SPK list of authorised institutions.
  • Its name recalls the Fidor digital bank that once operated in Germany, but no connection with that bank has been identified.
