Have you spotted fake broker reviews?
Fake reviews have signatures: bursts of five-star ratings, identical phrasing, reviews that praise while the complaints describe something else entirely. The patterns are learnable.

The regulation check guide beats any review: verify the licence yourself.
Background: How to check whether a forex broker is regulated
A licence number on a website proves nothing until you have checked it yourself. A step-by-step check using regulators' own registers, and the tricks clone firms use.
How do I know if a forex broker is legit?
Find the exact company name and licence number in the broker's legal documents, then search the regulator's own register. Check that the company is authorised, that its listed websites match the one you are using, and that it isn't on a warning list.
What is a clone firm?
A fraudulent operation that copies the name, register number or website of a genuine authorised firm to trick people into sending money. Contact the firm only through the details shown on the regulator's register.
