Zebtix Scam Warning: Saint Lucia Registration Is Not a Licence

Zebtix Scam Warning: Saint Lucia Registration Is Not a Licence

Set up in January 2026 by buying two separate domain names four days apart, Zebtix presents itself as a trading platform and claims to be registered in Saint Lucia. However, this registration is not a financial services licence; it is an ordinary company registration.

In short: Zebtix is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) and has not received a licence from any financial regulator. Presenting an offshore company registration as if it were a licence is the main trust tool of this scheme. In cases of this kind, claiming the money back is legally possible.

⚖️ What Does the Saint Lucia Registration Mean?

In Saint Lucia an "international business company" (IBC) can be set up within a few days; this status does not include any authority to provide forex or CFD services. The matching record for Zebtix is at this level only. Offering leveraged trading to people resident in Türkiye is unauthorised activity under Decision No. 8/297 of the Capital Markets Board.

🔍 Zebtix's Domain Names

  • zebtix.com: registered on 9 January 2026, behind Cloudflare; still online in October 2026.
  • zebtix.net: registered on 13 January 2026 on the same infrastructure; kept ready as a backup address.
  • The site is little more than an application shell that shows no company name or contact details.

Keeping a backup domain lets the platform continue without interruption when the main address is blocked. Demanding extra fees on a withdrawal request is common in schemes of this kind; details can be found in our article on methods of making withdrawals conditionalTR.

❓ Questions About Zebtix

Is Zebtix's Saint Lucia company number a licence number?

No. A company registration number only shows that the company exists; it does not mean permission to provide financial services.

Is the address zebtix.net the same platform?

It was registered four days later with the same name, the same registrar and the same infrastructure; it is assessed to be used as a backup address.

My agreement names a foreign court. Is that binding?

The contract terms of platforms operating without authorisation are assessed separately under Turkish law; this subject is covered in the articles in the process section.

I cannot withdraw my money from Zebtix. What should I do?
