MFSA Warning - ALPHAFXPRIME - Clone
MAY 09, 2022

The Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA” or “the Authority”) has become aware of an entity by the name of ALPHAFXPRIME which has an internet presence at https://www.alphafxprime.com. This website is claiming to be the trading name of an MFSA licensed company, Alpha FX Europe Limited. Fraudsters are using the details of this genuine company in an effort to deceive the public.

The Authority would like to inform the public that ALPHAFXPRIME is NOT a Maltese registered company NOR is it authorised to provide any financial services in or from Malta. Additionally, ALPHAFXPRIME has NO association with Alpha FX Europe Limited.

The website https://www.alphafxprime.com therefore appears to be a clone of the website of the legitimate entity and the public should therefore refrain from undertaking any business or transactions with the false entity.
