Vipro Markets Scam Warning: Name Misused in Romance Schemes

The name "Vipro Markets", which Turkish investors ask about, is the same as that of a genuine brokerage set up in Cyprus with a CySEC licence and moved to the Tickmill group in 2017. However, the name has also been used with a separate website in forex and crypto offers run through dating apps and messaging channels abroad. This article describes the risk of offers that come under this name; it does not accuse the genuine institution.
🔍 The Difference Between the Genuine Institution and the Imitation Site
Vipro Markets Ltd is a licensed institution based in Cyprus and has no legal entity in Türkiye. In foreign investor communities, however, a site called viprospro.com, using the same company name, has been reported as set up in November 2022 and used to collect money through a romantic-relationship scheme; no record of this domain is visible today. The original domain, vipromarkets.com, no longer responds either.
Whichever domain is used, leveraged trading intermediation in Türkiye is limited to the institutions on the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions; under SPK Decision No. 8/297 of 24.02.2017, this activity by operations not on the list is unauthorised.
💬 The Investment Scheme That Begins With Getting Acquainted
- In operations of this kind, first contact is made through daily chat on a dating app, Instagram or WhatsApp; the subject of investment is raised weeks later.
- The person is shown a site carrying the name of a well-known institution and is made to open a forex or crypto account.
- The balance growing on screen is tied to a "tax" or "account verification" fee when a withdrawal is requested.
🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method
We have covered before operations that borrow the name of a licensed institution or steer people into investing through a relationship.

- The trust-building stage of social engineering
🧭 The Legal Process for Victims
- At the first stage, the path a victim follows is clarified.
- For transfers sent abroad, the possibility of a SWIFT recall is examined.
- For the accounts where the money arrived, an asset searchTR is carried out.
