Another clone of the Tickmill broker - watch out for Tickmillfxpro.net

Less than two weeks have passed since the last warning, and another scam is circulating on the network that pretends to be an international broker Tickmill. Earlier we informed you about the CapitalWaysTrade clone. Now there is a new scam - tickmillfxpro.net. This time, the scammers went to an even greater ease and did not even bother to come up with new names or introduce noticeable changes on the website, but copied the broker's domain practically 1 to 1. Be careful what domains you enter, especially after clicking on ads or search results in Google.

The "clone" method involves the use of an image in the form of, for example, copying a logo, name, registered office address, license number or website. The goal is to impersonate a legally operating entity and gain the trust of potential customers, and consequently to extort funds from them. In this case, the victims are not only ignorant investors, but also companies whose image is used, and as a consequence they can be accused of fraud. Unfortunately, in many cases regulators act too slowly and only react after a series of reports from victims. Therefore, more and more often the brokers themselves inform about emerging scams that use their image.

In September, the fraudsters once again selected the Tickmill brand as their target. This time the scammer domain is tickmillfxpro.net. The homepage and some of the tabs have been practically cloned and the changes are really traceable. It is very easy to fall for the untrained eye. The main difference becomes apparent when you go to the account creation form, where the appearance of this tab is completely different from the original.

The domain is not yet on any regulator's warning list, but it's probably just a matter of time.

We warn against using the services of unlicensed companies. Before opening an account, always make sure it is correct the broker has the appropriate regulations and permits at the indicated financial market supervisory institution.
