TradeDu Scam Warning: Forex Platform Posing as Software

TradeDu Scam Warning: Forex Platform Posing as Software

On its home page, tradedu.com says it offers "forex, futures, index, metal, energy and share CFDs from a single account", while further down the same page it describes itself as "a software development company that does not provide investment or brokerage services". This contradictory language at TradeDu is a familiar method of offshore platforms set up to avoid licensing obligations.

In short: TradeDu is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK); the site shows no licence number. The platform presents its trading service as "software sales" and leaves the responsibility with the user. Claiming back money sent to this scheme is legally possible.

🚩 The "Software Company" Cover

The site carries a "Start trading NOW" button, a live price feed and a list of CFD products, yet the menu offers only "Try Software" and "Get Software". The legal notice states that Tradedu Ltd is not responsible for the actions of customers who buy the software. This gives the user the impression of dealing with a brokerage, but leaves no licensed entity to hold responsible in a dispute.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does TradeDu really only sell software?

The site offers a trade-start button, a price feed and CFD products at the same time. The service does not appear to be limited to the sale of software.

Does a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines registration mean a licence?

No. Company registration in this country is not a permit for forex intermediation; TradeDu is also not authorised by the SPK.

Are TradeDu and Tradu the same company?

No. There is a separate brokerage brand named Tradu; this article concerns only Tradedu Ltd, which uses the address tradedu.com.
