Shark Trades Review — Is Shark Trades 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. Shark Trades is a copy-trading scam with fake expert profiles, no licences and no registered company — recruiting through social ads and blocking users who ask for payouts. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid shark-trades.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • The expert profiles use stolen photos from unrelated professionals, with invented track records.
  • Regulator registers hold no firm of this name.
  • Complaint threads describe the same copy-trading-to-block pipeline: follow the experts, deposit, ask to withdraw, get blocked.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my Shark Trades 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 shark-trades.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as Shark Trades.

Shark Trades 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.
