G4Trade Scam Warning: Offshore Licence and Copy Trading

G4Trade registered its domain in September 2025 and soon began presenting itself as a "multi-asset CFD broker where you can copy trades". The platform's promise of trust rests on two claims: an offshore licence said to be obtained from the island of Anjouan in the Union of the Comoros, and a "strategic partnership" with a broker licensed in Europe. Neither claim gives protection to an investor in Türkiye.
🔍 What Do the Licence Claims Say?
- g4trade.com was registered through NameCheap on 17 September 2025 and was still online when we checked on 30 October 2026.
- There is no public register of Anjouan licences that can be matched to the website.
- A foreign review dated June 2026 states that the South African licence number mentioned on the site is registered to a different company.
A permit issued in the Comoros is not valid for investment services in Türkiye. An intermediary that is not on the SPK list of authorised institutions and offers leveraged trading is acting without permission under SPK Decision No. 8/297 of 24 February 2017.
🚩 The Risk of the Copy Trading Promise
In a "follow the successful trader" set-up, the customer cannot check who opens the trades. In schemes of this kind profit grows on the screen, and at the withdrawal stage the known obstacles of copy trading schemesTR appear: cancellation of profits, longer review periods and requests for extra verification.
