A clone site looks like a firm you already searched. The difference is the URL, the payment page, and the entity on the contract. Logos are cheap to steal.
Checks that take two minutes
- Type the firm’s name into a search engine yourself. Do not click the first ad blindly.
- Compare the domain to the one on the regulator register or the firm’s own legal footer.
- Copy the company name from the account form and search it on the public register — see how to verify a broker.
- If chat sends you a “new” deposit wallet or a different company after you ask for the licence, stop.
Warning lists exist for a reason
Many regulators publish clone warnings. A similar name with a different country is not the same licence. Our licence note is blunt: a PDF from a mailbox island is not cover in your jurisdiction.
If a Peak Pips page looks stale, send a correction with a register link. We do not process your deposits.
