Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is one of the world's important foreign exchange markets formed through a long historical development process, characterized by large trading scale, rich variety of trading products, and numerous market participants. As an international financial center, it occupies a key position in global foreign exchange trading. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of the foreign exchange dealers in this region, the survey team traveled to the UK for an on-site visit.

Process

In this issue, the field inspection team went to the UK as planned to conduct an on-site visit to Forex dealer Sonix. According to public information, its office address is 11 St Paul's Square, Birmingham, United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced site visit team, with a sense of mission to strictly vet for investors, went to the UK according to a meticulous plan. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker Sonix claiming to be located at 11 St Paul's Square, Birmingham, United Kingdom.

The site visit personnel arrived smoothly at the area of the target address. The surrounding environment is relatively bustling with a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no signage or any related information of the company Sonix was found outside the building.

The site visit personnel entered the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security guard. After a brief communication, they obtained permission to enter.

However, inside the building, no directory listing for the company Sonix was found, nor was the company's logo seen. Since the specific floor and location could not be determined, the site visit personnel could not reach the target floor, thus could not confirm the exact location, and naturally could not enter the company's interior. At the same time, they were unable to photograph the reception desk or the reception desk's logo. This office space is not a shared office.

Through the lobby area, due to the inability to enter the company's interior, the internal environment could not be observed. After arriving, it was confirmed that the address was correct, but no information about this broker was found. Upon inquiry, the security guard informed that the company does not exist, leading to the conclusion that it is false.

Therefore, after the site visit, it was confirmed that the broker Sonix does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The surveyor went to the UK as planned to inspect the forex broker Sonix on-site. At the publicly displayed business address, they did not see the broker's company name or other information, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine place of business. Investors are advised to make their decision after careful consideration.
