How the scam operates.
BlocksBrokersは規制を受けたトレーディング・ブローカーを装い、MCG MARKETING LTDを運営主体と位置づけ、英国に拠点を置き認可を受けていると称しています。その表向きの体裁は、英国の金融規制と関連づけられているかのように見せることで信頼性を演出するよう設計されており、信頼できる取引環境を求める個人投資家に対して大きな評判上の重みを持つ要素となっています。
その手口は、未登録の投資プラットフォームに共通する構造をたどります。入金を検討する見込み客は、当該プラットフォームが正当な監督の下で運営されていると信じ込まされ、英国の規制を受けているという主張が口座開設時における主要な信頼形成の仕組みとして機能します。資金はこの虚偽の認可主張を根拠に勧誘され、利用者は自らの口座を実際に動かそうとするまで、ブローカーの正当性を疑う理由を持ちません。
破綻は通常、利用者が資金を出金しようとした時点で生じます。出金要求は遅延させられ、追加の手数料を条件とされ、あるいは手続き上の口実によって拒否されます。その段階に至って、規制に関する主張を独自に精査すると、矛盾がただちに明らかになります。金融行為規制機構（FCA）は2025年4月、BlocksBrokersが認可を受けずに英国で金融サービスを提供している可能性があるとして、同社を明示的に指摘しました。BrokersViewに記録された一般利用者の声には、その経験をまぎれもない言葉で語る報告が含まれており、出金要求に応じないプラットフォームと整合する内容となっています。
Red flags we documented.
- 01FCA Warning Issued April 2025The Financial Conduct Authority issued a specific warning against BlocksBrokers noting the entity may be providing financial services or products in the UK without proper authorisation. Such warnings are not speculative; they indicate the regulator received credible information that the operation was soliciting UK residents without being supervised or registered.
- 02False UK Authorisation ClaimBlocksBrokers attributes its operations to MCG MARKETING LTD, claiming UK domicile and authorisation. BrokersView's investigation found this claim to be false. Misrepresenting regulatory status is a consistent feature of investment fraud operations targeting retail investors who rely on licensing claims to assess platform safety before depositing funds.
- 03No Verified Oversight in Any JurisdictionThe platform holds no authorisation from any recognised financial regulator. Unregulated brokers carry no obligation to segregate client funds, maintain capital adequacy, or participate in investor compensation schemes. Depositors therefore have no statutory recourse if the platform refuses withdrawals or ceases to operate.
- 04Jurisdiction Credibility Borrowing PatternClaiming UK registration while lacking FCA authorisation is a well-documented tactic used by offshore operations seeking to borrow the reputational weight of a major financial centre. The gap between the stated corporate domicile and the regulator's actual records is a reliable early-warning signal in broker fraud investigations.
- 05Negative Community Signal Corroborates Regulator FindingPublic user feedback recorded by BrokersView characterises the operation as fraudulent. While individual accounts vary in detail, a pattern of community reports aligned with an active regulatory warning is consistent with a platform that does not perform as marketed and does not return client funds on request.
