Cysec issues warning against another scammer
The second website www.worldbinaryoption.com, according to a Cyprus regulator, also does not belong to a legal entity authorized to provide financial services in Cyprus.
According to the company’s description on the official firm’s website, World Binary Option as an online Forex and CFD Broker provides traders across the globe with cutting edge technology to trade the world’s markets.
The company was allegedly founded in 2010 and since then has been providing traders with low-cost pricing across FX, CFDs, and commodities with the security of financial regulation and industry-leading customer support.
On its website, the organization claims to be located in the United States and is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) in Belize, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom and CySEC.
However, the regulator states: "The information on the above website, which assumes that it belongs to a legal entity regulated by CySEC, is misleading and not true."
