Brokerz.com and Tradixa.co Overseas Brokers with UK Contact Numbers - BEWARE!!!

Even if they are legitimate traders, you will never be able to claim money back, or even find out where your money went.

These websites - Brokerz.com and Tradixa.co are trading platforms that have UK phone numbers but are registered (or more likely not registered) in SVG (St Vincent & The Grenadines) which is a great place to go sailing, as there is no other way to get there.

The system is simple - they take a deposit and the balance begins to grow, then they contact you, always by chat, and ask you if you wish to deposit more. The balance continues to grow, until you ask about withdrawing. As soon as they realise you are not going to deposit any more funds, the account dwindles to nothing and you lose all of your money. 

Here is actually the email they send you when you register -

MANAGE NOTIFICATIONS

So the link, which points to what appears as an inactive domain - it shows the GoDaddy domain parking page when you browse to it, and shows a GoDaddy IP as it's A record - but the record tracking.efinanceaccount.com is another story...

The record tracking.efinanceaccount.com points to elasticmail.com who must be their emailing provider, and sent the above message from an Office365 address/server.

A quick sample of the header is below:
