Fake KCM Trade (kcmtradeint.com) Clone Scam Warning

The name KCM Trade belongs to a real brokerage operating internationally, while kcmtradeint.com is a fake trading platform set up by borrowing that name. Because the investor sees a familiar brand, money is deposited and the profit on screen grows, but at the withdrawal stage there is nobody to be found.
🚩 How Does the Fake KCM Trade Work?
According to the FMA's finding, kcmtradeint.com is part of a wider network of fake platforms that invent profits and block withdrawals. Leveraged products such as forex, CFDs and options are offered; the gains shown have no counterpart in a real market.
- A domain name very close to the name of a licensed broker
- A rapidly rising balance that is not real
- Silence, or a new payment condition, when a withdrawal is requested
🔍 The Official Warning and the Domain Status
The FMA warning was published in February 2025 and was then entered into the IOSCO warning network. Today the domain kcmtradeint.com does not appear in the registry; networks of this kind keep moving to new addresses in order to avoid detection. SPK Decision No. 8/297 treats acting as an intermediary for foreign entities in leveraged transactions as unauthorised activity; the platform is not on the SPK list.
