What the notices say

  • FCA clone warning, published 25 September 2026: 22K Trader and 22KTrader are not authorised. The FCA says fraudsters are using those names, website 22ktrader.com, address Canada Square, London, E14 5AA, telephones 442045772656 and 441253544020, and mobile 447756144643. A clone warning, not a criminal conviction. No Financial Ombudsman and no FSCS cover if you deal with the clone.
  • The same notice says the genuine firm the fraudsters claim to work for has no connection with the clone, and that the fund being cloned is IFSL Equilibrium Balanced Portfolio, which the FCA lists as an approved fund. The notice does not print a firm reference number for a separate authorised firm.
  • This page is the clone at 22ktrader.com. It is not a review of IFSL Equilibrium Balanced Portfolio.
  • The support address for 22ktrader.com is support@22ktrader.com.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my 22K Trader (22KTrader) account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at 22ktrader.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as 22K Trader.

22K Trader (22KTrader) says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
