Velmato Edge Scam Warning: Forex and CFD Ads, FMA Alert

Velmato Edge is an investment service promoted through internet ads and referral pages that claims to offer forex and CFD trading. The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) stated on 7 November 2026 that Velmato Edge has no authority to execute client orders.

In short: Velmato Edge is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). Claiming back money sent to schemes of this kind, which work through contact details gathered by ads and a withdrawal-blocking story, is legally possible.

📣 From Ad to Phone: How Is Velmato Edge Reached?

According to the FMA, Velmato Edge is promoted through an ad and referral page. In schemes of this kind, the name and phone number left in the form on the page are passed to a call centre operationTR; an "investment expert" phones shortly afterwards and asks for a small first deposit.

  • Profits are shown on the panel in the first days, then pressure begins for a larger investment.
  • When a withdrawal is requested, a commission, tax or collateral payment is made a condition.
  • The ad page and contact channels are changed frequently.

⚖️ The FMA Warning and SPK Authorisation

The FMA stated that Velmato Edge cannot provide securities services, which require authorisation, in Austria. In Türkiye too, it is not among the authorised intermediary institutions of SPK. SPK Decision No. 5/173 of 3 February 2017 expressly treats unauthorised investment guidance over the internet and social media as unlawful.
