UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has warned that the company Tradeplus Solutions is offering financial services to UK clients without the necessary authorization and that it may be a scam.


According to the FCA the company has an address in Bucharest, Romania and in UK. The company itself claims it is owned by Redfield Markets ltd, with the same UK address as that of Tradeplus Solutions. Usually such changes of company and brand names are an almost certain sign that this is a scam, trying to rip off unsuspecting clients. And last but not least there are client complaints claiming the company is refusing withdrawals.

There was a long time ago when I was wondering why the people opens accounts with not regulated brokers with shining and attracting advertising with may free gifts and on later stage the same people started crying, because either they have been mislead and cannot withdrawal their funds or they have been "rubbery" by brokers. In fact the reason is simple - just those people did not have any or very small knowledge's. Knowledge's about how the regulating authorities could protect their interest and there is nothing as a free gift - except smiles :)
