MetaWhale Review — Is MetaWhale 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. MetaWhale is one name, two frauds: an ATVP-warned crypto pyramid (active) and a dead fake UK forex broker — the page splits them cleanly The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid meta-whale.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Slovenia's ATVP warning of 6 Oct 2025: FORSAGE / METAFORCE / HOLIVERSE / METAWHALE is “repeated renaming of the same entity… international fraud in the form of a pyramid scheme based on crypto-assets”, operating without MiCA authorisation and run by Russian national Vladimir “Lado” Okhotnikov (BehindMLM, 5 Nov 2025). The active entity promotes via meta-whale.com, heavily in Nigeria.
  • The dead twin: Meta Whale (metawhalecapital.com) was an unregulated fake UK forex broker — no FCA registration despite a 71-75 Shelton Street address (a mailbox block shared with hundreds of thousands of shell entities per theforexreview.com, 26 Jul 2022); WikiFX score 1.46/10; the site has been inaccessible since late 2022.
  • Nigerian promotion (YouTube, 2 Aug 2025) pitches ₦21M earnings with referral links; user reports of withdrawal failures (9xinli.com, 25 Aug 2025); Scam-Detector scores the brand family 33.6/100.
  • Disambiguation duty, stated plainly: the forex-broker MetaWhale (dead, metawhalecapital.com) and the crypto-pyramid MetaWhale (active, meta-whale.com) share only a name; this page covers both so no reader lands on the wrong one.
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.

  • withdrawal “system upgrade” stalls and support ghosting
  • recruitment commissions that never become real money
  • a name shared by a dead broker and a live pyramid
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my MetaWhale 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 meta-whale.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as MetaWhale.

MetaWhale 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.
