سلامة المتداول
How to spot scams, avoid bad actors, and protect your capital.
The basic safety rule
Before sending money anywhere, verify three things in this order: (1) the legal entity opening the حساب, (2) the regulator that licenses that entity, (3) the actual on-the-record license number on the regulator's official register. Marketing pages do not count as proof. Regulator registers do.
Common scam patterns
Guaranteed-profit signal services
Anyone selling a "guaranteed", "no-loss", "100% win rate", or "secret" trading signal service is making a claim no real متداول can defend. Real traders understand drawdown, sequence risk, and uncertainty. Sales-funnel signal sellers usually do not.
الحساب managers / "trade for أنت" offers
Strangers on social media offering to "trade your حساب" or "double it in a week" are almost universally fraudulent. Even where حساب management is legal (with a licensed asset manager and a formal agreement), retail تيليجرام / واتساب / Instagram offers are not it.
Recovery scams (the second-strike)
People who lost money to a previous scam are then approached by a second person claiming to be a "recovery specialist", "blockchain investigator", or "regulator agent" offering to recover the lost money — for an upfront fee. This is almost always the same group running a second scam against the same victim. Never pay upfront fees to recover funds.
"موثَّق" funded-حساب sellers
Sellers offering to provide already-passed prop-firm accounts, "موثق" broker accounts, or KYC-bypass services are creating compliance liability for the buyer and usually deliver nothing.
وسطاء مقلَّدون
A scam site clones a real regulated broker's website, with one letter changed in the domain or in the entity name. Always cross-check the website URL against the regulator's official register entry — not the أخرى way around.
Withdrawal-blockers
الحساب opens fine, deposits process fine, the متداول makes a "profit" — and suddenly there is a "tax", "verification fee", "حساب-upgrade fee", or "compliance fee" required to withdraw. Real regulated الوسطاء do not work this way. If أنت are asked to deposit المزيد money to withdraw existing money, أنت have lost the existing money.
Red flags to walk away من
- No license number, or a license number that doesn't match the regulator's register
- Unrealistic return promises ("10% per day", "double in a week", "guaranteed")
- Pressure to deposit fast, time-limited "bonuses", or aggressive sales calls
- Refusal to share full T&Cs in writing
- Withdrawals delayed without a clear stated process
- العملات الرقمية-only deposits with no banking option, when the broker claims to be a regulated institution
- المراجعات exclusively on the وسيط's own website, with no independent footprint
Verifying a broker yourself (5 minutes)
- Find the legal entity name and license number on the broker's website footer.
- Go to the regulator's official site — directly, not via a search-engine ad.
- بحث the register for that license number. تأكيد the company name matches.
- تأكيد the regulator covers the country أنت live in. Some regulators only license certain entities for certain regions.
- تحقق the regulator's enforcement / warning section for any actions against the entity.
إذا كان هناك شيء خاطئ
- Stop depositing. Document everything.
- فتح a complaint with the broker via official channels.
- If unresolved, file a complaint with the regulator.
- إبلاغ the broker to your bank if a card payment is involved (chargeback windows are قصيرة).
- إبلاغ the platform / page to the social-media network it appeared on.
- Tell ShaFX so we can update our broker pages and warn أخرى traders.
