Abstract：The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has flagged multiple scam websites, including theaccessfunds.com—a clone of a legitimate JPMorgan fund—and several unlicensed crypto and forex platforms. These firms operate without proper authorization and often impersonate regulated entities to mislead investors.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released a fresh wave of warnings targeting both unauthorised trading platforms and clone scams that misuse the identities of regulated institutions to deceive investors.

Among the most serious cases is theaccessfunds.com, a website that falsely claims to be affiliated with the recognised Access Balanced Fund (GBP), managed by JPMorgan Asset Management (Europe) S.à r.l.. Despite using similar branding and fraudulent email addresses like lucas.grant@theaccessfunds.com and martin.harris@theaccessfunds.com, the FCA confirms there is no connection between the scam and the legitimate fund operator. The site is a clone—a form of fraud that misleads users by mimicking credible financial entities.

In addition to the clone case, the FCA flagged several unauthorised firms offering crypto and forex investments without permission to operate in the UK. These include:

Immediate 81 Crypto: https://immediate81crypto.net
TraderLenovex 4.9 Ai: www.traderlenovex49ai.net
BFM / BlockchainForexMarket: www.blockchainforexmarket.net
Crypto Revolution App: https://cryptorevolutionapp.net
Trade Avita: www.tradeavita.net
CAPEX GLOBAL SOLUTION: www.capexglobalsolution.com
TradeFX Capitalize: www.tradefxcapitalize.online
Trade NeuPro +4: www.tradeneupro4.net
AverionTrader: www.averiontrader.net
GrowWealth: www.growwealth.pro

These platforms typically promise high returns or automated trading solutions but operate outside regulatory oversight, leaving users exposed to fraud and asset loss.

The FCA warns that such firms often change contact information and create new domains to avoid detection. They may even combine real company details—like license numbers or UK addresses—with false contact data to appear legitimate.

To ensure investment security, it is advisable to verify a platform‘s legitimacy through WikiFX before making any transactions. WikiFX also offers quick access to a broker’s regulatory qualifications, historical disputes, and user ratings—providing valuable information to help identify potential risks and avoid scam traps in advance.
