Uptos Scam: Forex Site on France's AMF Blacklist

Uptos targets investors in Europe through a French-language version and describes itself as a platform offering currency and CFD trading on MetaTrader 5. The financial markets regulator of France has added this version to its blacklist of unauthorised forex sites.

In short: Uptos is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and holds no reputable regulatory licence. The French AMF has placed the platform's French site on its forex blacklist. Claiming back money transferred to schemes of this kind is legally possible.
What this article covers

🚫 The French AMF Blacklist

On 16 April 2020 the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial markets authority, added the address fr.uptos.com to its list of unauthorised forex sites. The list covers sites that seek clients in France without authorisation to provide investment services.

🔍 Uptos Ltd and How the Platform Is Set Up

  • The operating company, Uptos Ltd, uses an address at the Griffith Corporate Centre in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
  • The platform runs only on MetaTrader 5; desktop, web and mobile versions are offered.
  • The uptos.com domain is an older registration renewed through NameSilo; the home page no longer returns any content.
  • The company is not under any regulatory supervision.

Unauthorised leveraged trading intermediation is a criminal offence under Article 109 of Capital Markets Law No. 6362.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

In which country is Uptos registered?

Uptos Ltd presents itself as a company registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The financial authority of that country does not license forex intermediation.

Does the fr.uptos.com warning also concern investors in Türkiye?

The warning was published for investors in France; however, the same platform is not authorised by the SPK in Türkiye either, so a service offered from or into Türkiye is also unauthorised.

The Uptos website does not open; can the money still be claimed back?

The closure of a website does not end the legal process; the trail of a money transfer is followed through bank and payment records.

What can be done if money was sent to Uptos?
