Is stone-forex.com legit or a scam?
Stone-Forex is a malicious clone site impersonating the regulated StoneX Group to lure victims into a fraudulent investment scheme.
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.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this site is a direct clone of the legitimate FOREX.com platform. The operator uses the name 'Stone-Forex' to exploit the brand recognition of StoneX Group Inc., a tactic specifically warned about by the real company. Despite claiming to be a professional platform, the site provides no verifiable business registration, financial licenses, or contact details. Our antivirus network, including PhishFort and Gridinsoft, has already flagged the domain as malicious or suspicious. The combination of brand impersonation and lack of regulatory oversight is a definitive indicator of a financial scam.
