Warnings:

Are Your Investments Safe With ImportCapital?

ImportCapital claims it is a service provider that operates within Incendiary Group Ltd, based in the Commonwealth of Dominica. Thus, we are dealing with an offshore entity here, folks. That made us raise our eyebrows but we decided to give the suspicious broker a chance.

What about this shady Incendiary Group Ltd that allegedly dictates what ImportCapital does? It’s well known that entities choose Caribbean islands due to favorable tax systems and permissible laws. Hence, there are a lot of scams that originated in locations such as Dominica and SVG.

Let’s see whether the Commonwealth of Dominica’s financial regulator has any files on this group. Oh, there’s nothing there. Even if there were, it would not mean much to us because this regulator is not really an appropriate benchmark authority.

The authorities we consider trustworthy and credible are the German BaFin, Spanish CNMV, Romanian ASF and Belgium FSMA, all of which have issued a warning against Incendiary Group Ltd. Therefore, trading with this group is extremely dangerous and we highly advise you to avoid it.

Trading Platform Overview

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s time to take a look at the trading platform that our fraudster offers. At first, we were like “Oh, Meta Trader 4, the best trading software, impressive!” But then, we were utterly disappointed to find out there was no MT4 anywhere. 

There’s only a simple web-based platform, i. e. WebTrader. How are we supposed to trust ImportCapital after that lie? When you add to that the fact that the broker is unlicensed, we are certain that this browser platform is rigged! 

Scammers do this all the time. They take the platform and set it up to make some numbers pop up, to convince you that you’re trading. Meanwhile, you’re depositing funds straight into the illicit provider’s pocket. If you’re a beginner, it’s hard to see notice this trap. 

The same applies to the mobile version of the platform. Moreover, you are required to register, i. e. give your personal info to the scammer before downloading the platform. A cunning trick by ImportCapital.

What Account Types Does ImportCapital Offer?

There’s a total of five different account types available:

• Mini – $250, leverage 1:50, 
• Standard – $500, 1:100;
• Classic – $1,000, 1:100;
• VIP – $10,000, 1:100;
• Pro – $25,000, 1:200.

For $250, you can find much better brokers, licensed ones at that. ImportCapital also restricts the available trading assets for some of these types, which we deem highly unprofessional. Also, spreads were not disclosed and that is a very important trading parameter.

As for leverage, only the first account type got it right and by that, we mean within the legal limit that regulators have set 1:50 (US, Canada). However, we found out that ImportCapital does not accept US clients. Regardless, 1:100 and higher is simply too risky, especially for beginners.

Trading Instruments Offered

ImportCapital claims to offer the following for trading assets:

• Forex pairs – USD/EUR, GBP/AUD, EUR/CHF…
• Stocks – Microsoft, Facebook, Google… 
• Indices – NASDAQ, Dow Jones, FTSE…
• Commodities – silver, gold, crude oil, corn…

Nice but we don’t care. Nothing against the mentioned instruments, the problem is that the broker is unregulated and the trading conditions are vague and unfavorable. Thus, that has to be first sorted out before considering any instruments.

Deposit/Withdrawal Methods,

Of course, the fraudulent broker failed to include a comprehensive list of acceptable payment methods so we had to discern them using this info.

Here we see credit/debit card issuers such as MasterCard and Visa as well as wire transfer options. It’s safe to say that ImportCapital is pretty unsophisticated when it comes to payment methods. We have reason to believe that con artist also accepts crypto transfers. Nevertheless, the minimum deposit, as mentioned, is $250.

How Do I Obtain a Refund if ImportCapital Defrauded Me?

If you’ve been scammed by ImportCapital, know that there is a way to get a refund depending on the payment method. Thus, we have the following:

• Chargeback – used to reverse credit/debit card transactions, performed by the issuing bank within 540 days.
• Recall – the process of reversing wire transfers, only possible if the transaction hasn’t been completed.
• Crypto tracing – once the crypto transaction has been traced to a wallet within an exchange, a refund can be requested.
