Pivlex Scam Warning: Fake Gold Forex Robot (pivlex.com)

Sold with the promise of catching gold's minute-by-minute moves through artificial intelligence, Pivlex was marketed as an "Expert Advisor", that is, an automated trading robot built for MetaTrader 4. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a warning about pivlex.com for unauthorised financial services on 1 July 2026; the website does not open today.

🤖 What Did Pivlex Promise?

The sales page described a robot that opens trades "at superhuman speed" with pending orders on the one-minute chart of the gold (XAUUSD) pair, removes emotional mistakes and can be used for a single payment. The page also carried a free trial version and an invitation to join an "expert team".

In schemes of this kind the robot is installed on a leveraged account; backtest charts are presented as if they were real account results, and once losses begin, new payments come up under names such as a "higher version", "set-up support" or management of the account. Fraud run with the promise of algorithmic trading softwareTR follows the same pattern.

🔍 Contradictions on the Sales Page

Pivlex does not appear on the SPK list of authorised institutions. In its Decision No. 5/173 of 03.02.2017 on unauthorised investment advice and guidance over the internet, SPK announced that these activities require permission.
