Websites named in the warnings
apex-trade[.]capital, platform[.]apex-trade[.]app
Shown with [.] so they are not clickable. Scam operations swap domains often; a new site with the same name or design is very likely the same operation.
What these warnings mean
- FSMA: The FSMA strongly advises against responding to offers from the firms and websites it names; it suspects fraud or activity without the required authorisation in Belgium.
- AMF: The AMF says this website or entity offers investments to people in France without the authorisation or registration the law requires. A blacklisting is a public warning, not a court ruling.
If you already sent money
- Stop paying. A demand for a “fee”, “tax” or “unlock charge” before a withdrawal is part of the scam, not a step towards your money.
- Save messages, screenshots, wallet addresses and transaction IDs.
- Tell your bank, card issuer or exchange today: card payments and bank transfers can sometimes be stopped or disputed if you act fast.
- Report it:
- Belgium: FSMA warnings and consumer contact. More for Belgium
- France: AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers), PHAROS (internet-signalement.gouv.fr). More for France
- Anywhere else: your national police cybercrime unit and your financial regulator. How to report a crypto scam.
Anyone who contacts you offering to recover the money for an upfront fee is almost always running a second scam. See how to get money back after a crypto scam.

What have regulators said about Apex Trade?
Apex Trade is on 2 official warning lists: FSMA (Belgium), AMF (France). The first warning we hold is dated 19 Mar 2025. Each regulator's own words are linked above; they range from 'not authorised here' to suspected fraud, and a listing is a public warning, not a court ruling. We have not dealt with Apex Trade ourselves. Read the official notices before you send any money.
What should I do if I already sent money to Apex Trade?
Stop paying immediately, including any 'fee', 'tax' or 'release charge' you are asked for before a withdrawal: that request is itself a common second stage of the scam. Save every message, wallet address and transaction ID, tell your bank or exchange at once, and report it (Belgium: FSMA warnings and consumer contact; France: AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers), PHAROS (internet-signalement.gouv.fr)). Be wary of anyone who contacts you offering to recover the money for a fee.
