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.
🚩 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.
