ICU Markets (icumarkets.com): FCA Unauthorised Firm Warning

ICU Markets is an operation that uses the domain icumarkets.com and presents itself as an investment firm with a London address. On 6 November 2026 the FCA stated that this site is unauthorised and may be providing financial services in the United Kingdom without permission.

In short: ICU Markets is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). A name resembling a well-known broker brand and a London address are the main tools such schemes use to gain trust. Claiming back money sent this way is legally possible.

🔍 What Has Been Found About ICU Markets

  • Telephone: +44 20 3769 1655
  • Claimed address: 47-49 Tooley Street, London SE1 2QG
  • Domain: icumarkets.com was registered in July 2026.
  • The site keeps visitors behind an access verification wall; its content cannot be examined from outside.

⚠️ The Risk of Confusion with IC Markets

The name "ICU Markets" is very close to the internationally known IC Markets brand. The FCA warning does not mention a clone entry, and no connection between the two has been found. In other words, the real IC Markets is not the subject of this warning, but it is clear that the similarity of names may mislead investors.

🚩 How Schemes of This Kind Operate

In schemes of this kind, a person called from a London number is offered a small starting amount; as profit appears on the panel, the investment is enlarged. When a withdrawal is requested, new payments are demanded under the name of commission, tax or deposit.

🧭 The Legal Route for Victims

Collecting money online with a promise of investment can be assessed as qualified fraud committed through computer systems under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code. A firm's authorisation can be checked in the SPK list of brokerage firms. In the process, the aggravated penalties for qualified fraudTR and the recall of a transfer sent abroad are assessed together.
