Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is a historically significant international forex market, and has been one of the important global centers for foreign exchange trading since the 19th century. It is characterized by large trading volume, a rich variety of trading instruments, and a large number of market participants. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the on-site verification team conducted field visits in the UK.

Process

In this issue, the on-site investigation team went to the UK as planned to conduct a field visit to forex broker Sumitcrest. According to publicly available information, its office address is One Carey Lane London, EC2 V8AE, United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced site visit team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously vet for investors, proceeded according to a meticulously planned schedule to the target area in the UK to conduct an on-site verification of the broker sumitcrest, which claimed to be located at the aforementioned address.

The site visit personnel successfully arrived at the target building. The location is in London, with a relatively bustling surrounding environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company logo or related information for sumitcrest was found on the exterior of the building.

The site visit personnel entered the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security guard. Upon inquiry, the security guard informed them that there was no such company, and they could not obtain entry permission. Looking inside the building, no information about this company was found on the internal directory board.

Since they could not enter the building lobby, the site visit personnel could not confirm the specific floor and location, nor could they discover sumitcrest's office area. Naturally, they could not enter the company's interior, could not photograph its reception desk, and the office was not a shared office.

Through the glass door, due to obstruction by the security guard and other reasons, the site visit personnel could not observe the company's internal environment, found no information about this broker, and concluded that it was fraudulent.

Therefore, after the site visit, it was confirmed that the broker sumitcrest does not exist at the aforementioned address.

Conclusion

The on-site inspection personnel proceeded as planned to visit the forex broker sumitcrest in the UK. At its publicly displayed business address, they were unable to see any information such as the broker's company name, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises. Investors are advised to make their choice after comprehensive consideration.
