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

⚠️ 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.
🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method
Other operations working under a brand that resembles the name of a known institution:
- The forex scheme misusing the Fusion Markets name
- The ICAP clone site
- Global Trade Express: a clone company example
- Clone sites of brokerage firms and banks
🧭 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.
