These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

This site markets itself as ApxTrades, a global CFD broker for forex, crypto, shares, and more via MT4 platforms. Gridinsoft labels it phishing and Netcraft calls it malicious, despite clean browser blocklists and sandbox. It lacks emails, phones, or addresses, common for legit brokers. Review aggregators score it just 1/100, signaling high risk. At 208 days old with one IP abuse report, it shows multiple fraud traits.

Investment-scam warning signs

The page shows patterns common to HYIP, forex, pig-butchering, and guaranteed-returns grifts.

  • Treat apxtradex.com as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Any money you send is almost certainly gone

    These schemes pay out early "profits" to bait bigger deposits, then block withdrawals or demand a "tax" / "liquidity fee" to release funds. Do not top up to unlock a withdrawal — that's the same grift.

  • If you already deposited — act immediately

    Contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback, freeze further transfers, and gather every screenshot, WhatsApp / Telegram thread, and transaction ID. Do not engage with "recovery agents" who reach out after the loss — those are themselves a follow-up scam.

  • Report to your financial regulator

    US: sec.gov/tcr, cftc.gov or reportfraud.ftc.gov. UK: FCA ScamSmart. EU: your national financial regulator. Reports feed public warning registers other victims check.
