CFTC Consumer Advisory: Forex Fraud
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!


Moving Violations

In a recent period, the CFTC filed over 80 enforcement actions in federal court against hundreds of firms, owners and employees for defrauding over 23,000 customers who lost over $300 million in these Forex schemes.

Many of these Forex fraudsters were also criminally prosecuted and are now in jail. However, the defrauded investors rarely recovered any of the funds they lost.
