The Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) issued a scam alert warning investors, licensees, and the public about “Xtrade” operating via https://www.xtradevip.com, which claims to be licensed and regulated by the FSA under licence number SD034. The FSA said the entity is not known to the Authority, does not hold a valid licence, and is not regulated by the FSA in any capacity. It added that licence number SD034 is linked to another entity that is licensed and regulated by the FSA, and urged the public to conduct adequate research before engaging in business activities or transactions involving money exchanges or sharing personal details.
