MFSA Warning - Dcoin FX - Clone
AUGUST 01, 2022

The Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA” or “the Authority”) has become aware of an entity by the name of Dcoin FX which has an internet presence at https://dcoinfx.com/. This website is using the details of an MFSA licenced company Deriv Investments (Europe) Limited (C 70156). Fraudsters are using the details and website contents of this genuine company in an effort to deceive the public.

The Authority would like to inform the public that Dcoin FX is NOT a Maltese registered company NOR is it authorised to provide any financial services in or from Malta. Additionally, https://dcoinfx.com/ has NO association with Deriv Investments (Europe) Limited.

The website https://dcoinfx.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.
