Northern Index Scam Warning: Clone of a UK-Authorised Fund

Northern Index is a platform that gets people to open trading accounts on global markets with claims of "institutional-grade security" and "segregated client accounts". On 30 October 2026 the FCA placed northernindex.com on its warning list as a clone of a genuine UK-authorised investment fund.

In short: Northern Index is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The method is to build trust with a name close to that of an authorised fund and then get money paid into a forex/CFD account. In cases of this kind, a legal process can be pursued.

📞 The Addresses and Phone Numbers in the Warning

So as not to appear tied to a single country, the platform uses addresses on three continents and a large number of phone numbers:

  • Addresses: Canary Wharf Estate, London E14 5AB · 13 Castlereagh St, Sydney · 200 Bay Street, Toronto
  • Phones: +1 647 946 3102, +1 647 365 3970, +44 20 8073 1617, +44 20 3996 6374, +61 2 4277 0372, +61 3 6469 0668; the site also lists +61 2 8006 5537 and +61 2 4086 9264
