Gold Signals is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). In Türkiye, institutions that trade forex and derivative products must be licensed by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The list of licensed intermediary institutions is published on the SPK activity permits page.

🚨 FEATURES THAT CARRY A RISK OF FRAUD

Extremely Wide Stop-Loss Levels

In the gold (XAUUSD) signals offered on the Gold Signals platform, stop-loss levels exceed 600 pips. This is entirely at odds with the standard risk-management practices used in normal market conditions.

Fake or Manipulated Performance History

The past profit figures presented by the platform are far from reality and appear to have been manipulated to attract customers.

Charges Continuing After a Cancellation Request

Even after customers cancel the service, fee deductions continue in the background. This is regarded as a fraudulent practice.

Aggressive Billing and a Difficult Cancellation Process

The system is designed so that cancelling becomes complicated enough to discourage customers. A service presented with attractive terms at the start is followed by hidden fees and cancellation difficulties.

Anonymous Operators and No Accountability

The platform is run by individuals whose real identities are not disclosed. This is a familiar model for avoiding legal responsibility in fraudulent operations.

Marketing with Luxury Lifestyle Images

Social media accounts show unreal wealth, luxury cars and trips to create the illusion that making money fast is possible.

🔍 MEASURES THAT HELP AGAINST FRAUD

Licence status: Before a forex or crypto platform is used, its licence status is normally checked with the SPK or with international regulators.

Stop-loss levels: In normal market practice, stop-loss levels are generally set between 50 and 150 pips. Levels of 600+ pips are designed to maximise the chance of losing the position.

Performance claims: Promises of unrealistic returns (such as 50%+ a month) and unproven past profit data call for scepticism.

Cancellation procedure: Before starting with any service provider, the cancellation and refund terms are normally requested in writing.

Social media claims: Luxury images and "success stories" are the most basic marketing tool of fraudsters.

✅ HOW PEOPLE PROTECT THEMSELVES

• Using only licensed institutions: Anyone who wants to trade forex or crypto is better served by intermediary institutions licensed by the SPK.
• Caution with social media messages: Offers of a "miracle method" or "quick riches" from random people are almost always fraud.
• Distrusting performance promises: Platforms that promise unrealistic returns should be rejected immediately.
• Written documents: The platform terms, fee schedules and cancellation procedure are normally obtained in writing.
• Independent checks: The countries and people a platform can be linked to are researched independently.
• Prompt reporting of suspected fraud: Where fraud is suspected in a platform or service provider, the competent authorities and Savun Law & Consultancy are informed without delay.
