FameEX Review — Is FameEX a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. FameEX is a crypto spot and futures exchange claiming an “ASIC virtual asset trading licence” — a licence class that does not exist. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid fameex.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

What the notices say

  • It claims to be “regulated by ASIC with a valid virtual asset trading license” — ASIC issues no such licence, so the claim fails on its own terms.
  • Trustpilot carries multiple reports of a 30% “fine” demanded on balances before withdrawal, frozen accounts and a single $43,000 loss; the PUTinCoin project alleges 20M PUT seized via a fabricated “software error” (September 2024).
  • Its security record is weak (CER.live score 28%, no ISO 27001 or CCSS per TradingFinder), and phishing clones (fameexio.com) are documented in a Washington State DFI pig-butchering case.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

  • a 30% “fine” or “tax” demanded before withdrawal
  • accounts frozen after reward campaigns
  • copy-trading and reward promotions that trap deposits
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my FameEX 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 fameex.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as FameEX.

FameEX 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.
