Yes. HM Vest is a multi-jurisdiction CFD brand (footer: Harmovest Capital) whose Comoros entity operates hmvest.com while the site promotes a “CySEC 411/22” licence that belongs to a different firm The notices are written once, in the block below.

The record

What the notices say

  • hmvest.com is operated by the Comoros offshore entity (MISA T2023331) — CySEC protections do not apply to this domain; the EU entity is segregated on hmvest.eu.
  • The “CySEC licence 411/22” promoted on hmvest.com: CySEC's own public register shows licence 411/22 belongs to M4Markets (company 416402). Harmovest Capital (Cyprus) Ltd holds its own CySEC listing, but the number advertised on this domain appears to be another firm's — if that claim stands uncorrected, it is itself a publishable red flag.
  • FastBull/BrokersView (22 Jan 2026) flagged hamovest.com: “appears to be a scam… High-Risk Active, broker violations and abnormal records”.
  • Trustpilot (hmvest.com): a single review — a negligible organic footprint for a claimed multi-jurisdiction broker.
  • Regulatory “expansion” announcements (NZ FMA, SEC RIA) appear only as self-published press releases (LinkedIn, WikiFX PR, a Finbold sponsored-style piece, 14 Aug 2026).

  • regulatory news that exists only as paid press releases
  • one-review Trustpilot where a broker should have thousands
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my HM Vest 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 hmvest.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as HM Vest.

HM Vest 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.
