The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) of Belgium has once again warned the public about the dangers posed by fraudulent trading platforms.

These platforms lure investors online with promises of quick and easy earnings. Their offers look attractive, but often they are nothing more than sophisticated scams that can lead to significant losses.

The FSMA has noted that the following websites were putting consumers in contact with fraudulent trading platforms:

• Flash Deal Academy (flashdealacademy.com);
• NeuroTradeX (neuro-tradex.com, neurotradexplatform.com).

The regulator strongly advises against responding to offers made by the following trading platforms:
