KayaFX - Investment scammers rip off traders
16.05.2022
KayaFX pretends that traders are granted fantastic terms and conditions to cash in on online trading as quickly as safely. Everything at KayaFX is investment fraud. The money has landed right into the pockets of the investment scammers. Not a penny has been invested. Everything the investor sees on his screen is fake. Nothing is traded at KayaFX. How does the investor get his money back? What can investors do who have been scammed by KayaFX? What help is available for investment fraud?
KayaFX: Unbelievable statements on kayafx.com!
What do the stunned investors have to reciprocate on www.kayafx.com? "If you've ever wondered what Forex trading is all about or what it takes to get started, we have the right answers for you. With KayaFX you can either open a demo account where you can emulate real trading with Virtual Money, or you can open a real money account and start investing immediately with the help of our professional brokers who are always at your disposal. Experienced traders are also invited to use our powerful tools designed to meet and exceed the requirements for high-level trading." This is just a small quote of the exaggerated affirmations that interested parties can find on KayaFX's website. Not a single one of these lofty assurances from KayaFX has been delivered. Unfortunately, the questionable business conduct rather makes for unhappy investors and miserable experiences! "
KayaFX: The domain entry is hidden!
Of course, the investment scammers do not want themselves to be easily tracked down. That is why the website has no imprint with the full details and addresses of the website operators. Also, the domain data of the website kayafx.com does not contain any indication of who registered the site, but only that the registration was made on 03.11.2016 with NameCheap, Inc. and that the real domain owners are hiding behind the Icelandic anonymization service Withheld for Privacy ehf.
KayaFX: Who is behind the investment fraud?
Investors will not be able to answer this question. The investment scammers disguise their identity perfectly - almost. This is normal because the investment scammers regularly operate various websites where they offer their fraudulent business models. In the present case of KayaFX, the website has already been shut down. And who is the operator? On the kayafx.com website, there was the following information: "KayaFX is owned and operated by AlphaTec LTD, Mazars House, Gelderd Road, Leeds, England, LS27 7JN." A worldwide search for AlphaTec LTD in the relevant registers leads to a result in the UK company register. This was registered on 11/12/2001 by Mr. and Mrs. Vaudin, but have no license to conduct such business.
KayaFX: The customer acquisition of the investment scammers
There is a classic scheme of investment fraud. To acquire new customers, the offers of KayaFX are advertised in all possible media and channels. Thus, advertisements are often placed on platforms for financial investments or even on social media. Most of the time, these recommendations are false promises. In addition, they upload videos on Youtube or Vimeo, in which prospective customers are convinced with false references. Here, celebrities report about their experiences with online trading. All lies! Everything fake! Everything fake! Nothing is real! In parallel, an affiliate program is often launched to motivate others to intensively promote KayaFX.
KayaFX: Criminal business practices
As soon as the customer has registered on the trading platform, he receives calls from alleged financial brokers who like to refer to their years of experience and their satisfied customer base. In many cases, however, the makers of this business model are fraudsters, against whom the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) also warn. Usually, the investors start with a small sum as employment. Beforehand, investors are also often motivated to install remote maintenance software, such as Anydesk or Teamviewer on their computers, so that assistance can supposedly be provided with the first steps. In many cases, the computer is subsequently manipulated and unwanted transactions are carried out. In the process, the investment fraudsters often also gain access to their victims' online banking. What is particularly criminal, however, is when supposed profits are displayed on the trading platform to entice the customer to place further high stakes. In some cases, even small sums are returned to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to further increase the stakes? But what happens next?
KayaFX: Repayment of the money is linked to conditions
However, an exit is then usually no longer possible, rather a repayment of the money is linked to further deposits. This is where the employees come in, who still claim alleged tax debts and commission payments. These would have to be settled first, then it would come to the disbursement of the allegedly obtained profits. For this purpose, tax and commission invoices are sent to the investors, which are often decorated with fake coats of arms and, of course, have to be paid urgently. However, it is never possible to offset these payments against the supposedly achieved profits. If one refuses to make these further payments, the supposed profits are often turned into losses and the customer is harmed to the maximum. However, this is usually not the end of the horror, but the investors are often permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers, which indicates that the contact details of the investors are further traded among the investment scammers. In the end, the "saving angel" regularly comes forward, claiming to have uncovered the whole scam. He impresses with his insider knowledge. No wonder, since he is part of the fraudster gang. The next rip-off! And of course, the "saving angel" also wants a small fee - in advance!
KayaFX: Scheme of investment fraud?

KayaFX lacks regulation by a recognized European supervisory authority, such as the English Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySec), which is often used by brokers.
