Meta Trust Capital Scam: Fake FCA Registration

Meta Trust Capital is a scheme that offers investment services at metatrustcapital.com and states on its website that it is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the United Kingdom. The FCA found this statement to be untrue and added the site to its list of unauthorised firms on 20 July 2026. Today the domain has turned into a parking page that says it "may be for sale".

🪪 How Was the Non-Existent FCA Registration Used?

The entry in the IOSCO warning records notes that the firm stated on its website that it was registered with the FCA but was not, and that this breaches the ban on unauthorised activity under British law. In schemes of this kind, a fake licence number or regulator logo is also used, after the first deposit is taken, to persuade the investor to pay larger amounts. Even if a foreign licence is genuine, it does not mean permission to operate in Türkiye; Meta Trust Capital is not authorised by SPK and does not appear in the SPK list of authorised institutions.
