WeGolden Scam Warning: Bonus Rules and Profit Cancellation

WeGolden, which centres on gold (XAU/USD) trading, attracts users on wegolden.com with many language options (Turkish included), very high leverage and "tradable bonus" campaigns. In the records shared with us, a user who made a profit sees the withdrawal request rejected for an alleged rule violation, and the profit is deleted from the account so that only the deposited principal remains.
🚩 Why Is Profit Deleted Retroactively?
A user who made a profit on trades opened around news releases asks to withdraw through the same method used for the deposit, but is told that "the withdrawal conditions were not met"; the profit is then deducted from the account. This scheme rests on the same logic as locking withdrawals through bonus and promotion termsTR: broad and changeable contract rules are used to declare a gain invalid after the fact.
🔍 Licence Claims and the Contracting Party
- The site lists a South African FSCA registration, a Comoros (Mwali) licence and a US money services business (MSB) registration side by side, while the account agreement names a Comoros company as the contracting party.
- The leverage ratio on the home page does not match the ratio in the client agreement.
- A multi-level introducing broker (IB) programme promises daily commission to anyone who brings in new users.
Foreign licences are not valid for investment services in Türkiye; WeGolden does not appear on the SPK list of authorised brokerage firms. SPK Decision No. 8/297 defines acting as an intermediary for overseas leveraged trading platforms as unauthorised activity.
🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method
We have previously covered operations that block withdrawals through profit cancellation and bonus terms and that rely on island licences.
- Dinero Markets: accounts tied to bonus conditionsTR
- Vexith Capital: winning trust with licence claimsTR
- B-Investor / ExpertB: a forex operation registered in the Comoros
- Altın Yatırım FX: a gold trading frontTR
🧭 The Legal Process for Victims
- The process begins by working out the route a forex victim can follow.
- The invalidity of the account agreementTR concluded with an unauthorised platform is assessed.
- For the amount sent, a restitution and unjust enrichment claimTR comes into play.
