The financial watchdog attributed its decision to the fact OptimaFX was not licensed under the IFSC Act to provide, carry on, transact, or hold itself out as providing, carrying on, or transacting any of the international financial services as set out in the Schedule of the IFSC Act in or from within Belize. The IFSC warned as well that members of the public who transact business with these individuals and/or entities, do so at their own risk.

Exactly the same warning was issued as well for UZMAN FX LLC, also for claiming to have obtained a legal licence for practicing he business, while in fact the broker was operating under a fraudulent one.

It is no secret to mention that the Forex trading market has witnessed over the last two years more scam cases, where many operators were caught practicing the business under no authorization or they used fake licences.
