Yes. Giraffe Markets is an offshore MT5 forex and CFD broker operating from Mauritius, marketed heavily in South and Southeast Asia, with documented fake-job-offer complaints. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid giraffemarkets.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Claims a Mauritius FSC licence (GB24203636) — an offshore-tier licence at best; WikiFX flags “No forex trading license found… Suspicious Regulatory License, High potential risk”, and no FCA, ASIC or CySEC register entry exists for this name.
  • Offers 1:500 leverage, a 50% first-deposit bonus, $30-per-referral rewards, PAMM and copy trading — incentive stacking that regulated retail markets (capped at 1:30 in the EU/UK) do not allow.
  • No named CEO, founders or team anywhere on the website; reviewers report LinkedIn “employees” with AI-generated images.
  • Reviewers allege paid review campaigns — one states the company buys reviews on Trustpilot and WikiFX, and the company has run a “Trust Bonus Campaign” paying bonuses for reviews.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • approached on WhatsApp or LinkedIn with a fake job offer, then asked to recruit clients who deposit
  • account locked and contact vanished once you stop recruiting or depositing
  • withdrawal of a remaining balance refused — one WikiFX mediation case cites a $22,000 balance withheld over “payment gateway fees”
  • review pages padded with incentivised 5-star reviews
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my Giraffe Markets 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 giraffemarkets.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as Giraffe Markets.

Giraffe Markets 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.
