Fortuno Markets

Is the Fortuno Markets platform safe? This article exposes its false compliance claims, fake trading platforms, withdrawal freezes, and secondary fee traps. Drawing on real complaint cases, it provides comprehensive fraud prevention analysis and legal protection strategies for investors.

⚠️Conclusion : fortunomarkets.com is no longer accessible, and its registration information and license number cannot be found in any major global financial regulatory agency database. Combined with user complaints, withdrawal freezes, and fraudulent customer service operations, Fortuno Markets' overall risk rating is only 1/10 (very high risk) , placing it in the high-risk category of a "Ponzi scheme-style fake broker."

1. Basic information investigation of the platform: Shell operation, no license and no company

📉 Fortuno Markets is not registered in any major regulatory databases (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, DFSA, NFA, etc.), indicating that the platform has never obtained a financial services license in any country . Furthermore, WHOIS records show that its domain name is registered using an anonymous proxy, completely concealing the identity of the registrant.

2. “Zero-risk” investment promotion: the first step in the scam

Fortuno Markets' advertising and promotional efforts focused on "quick profits" and "zero-risk returns." Common slogans used in its social media campaigns included:

• 📈 “Daily returns up to 5%, monthly returns 200%”

• 💹 “Automatic trading system, 24-hour profit”

• 🎯 "Sound financial management, no need to operate"

• 🏆 "A leading platform trusted by investors worldwide"

⚠️ These promotional slogans violate all advertising regulations of financial regulators. No legitimate brokerage firm may promise "yield," "guaranteed profit," or "zero risk." Such exaggerated claims are almost immediately a sign of fraud.

3. Fake Systems and Fake Trading Data: The Profits You See Don’t Exist

Several investors complained that the trading interface provided by Fortuno Markets was merely a simulation system , with the following main features:

• 📊 Displays profit curves and asset growth, but the backend is not connected to a real exchange;

• 💱 No order matching source, no market depth;

• 📉 "Transaction History" data is duplicated and cannot be verified;

• 🪙 "Withdrawal Record" shows as "under review" for several months without being processed.

This shows that the platform is not a "trading platform" at all, but a fraudulent method that uses a fake system to cover up the operation of a fund pool .

4. The classic scam chain of "withdrawal freeze + secondary charging"

Fortuno Markets’ fraudulent process is almost “template-level”:

1. 📤 Inducing deposits : Attracting investors to register with "low threshold and quick returns";

2. 📊False profits : Displaying profit data in the backend to induce additional investment;

3. 🔐 Account frozen : Accounts may be frozen due to "compliance review" or "KYC issues" during withdrawals;

4. 💸Charge fees : require payment of "tax fees", "verification fees", and "account unlocking fees";

5. 🏃‍♂️Completely lost contact : customer service disappeared after payment and the website was closed.

✅ This "unlocking fee + frozen account" combination is extremely common in fake broker scams and is a late-stage operation of the "Ponzi scheme scam."

5. User Complaints and Public Opinion Data

• ❌ “Withdrawal application has not been processed for two months, customer service asked to pay 30% tax”

• ❌ "Provided a screenshot of a fake license, but the regulatory website does not contain this company"

• ❌ “Customer service disappeared after payment and the account was permanently frozen”

• ❌ “The backend shows profit, but I can’t withdraw a penny”

These complaints are highly consistent with multiple fraudulent platform cases we have tracked, further confirming the fraudulent nature of Fortuno Markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❌ Impossible. A legitimate brokerage firm will not shut down its official website for an extended period of time, and will always keep a record of the situation on the regulatory website.

⚠️ Almost impossible. Payment is just the final step in the scam. For most people, the platform disappears completely after paying.
