Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
A short desk file on the operation behind this name.
- Brand: AMUNDI. The same name belongs to a large regulated French asset manager, which is a separate and unconnected company.
- Operator name on record: 鋒匯 (Fenghui), recorded both in a police reported-site listing and in a third-party broker directory. No registration number was ever published.
- Legal entity: none traceable in any company registry.
- Registered: no registered address was ever published. The platform was hosted in Hong Kong.
- Website: dya.amuud.com, which no longer resolves.
- Only licence: none. No financial regulator anywhere holds a record of this operation.
- Offers: margin forex and CFDs on MetaTrader 4. A third-party broker directory records a minimum deposit of about one US dollar and leverage advertised up to 1:1000.
- Clients: overwhelmingly in Taiwan, approached in Chinese, in several accounts through dating apps.
- Not accepted: no restricted-country policy was ever published.
- Age claim: none published. The earliest verifiable trace of the platform is July 2021.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Five findings point the same way, and no two of them rest on the same source.
- No licence, anywhere. The operation named no regulator, and no regulator holds a record of it. When one client asked to see a licence in August 2021, none was produced. Taking deposits for margin trading without authorisation is illegal in every market this platform solicited.
- It borrowed the name of a regulated asset manager. Amundi Asset Management is a real and active firm in Paris. Its Taiwanese subsidiary traded as 鋒裕匯理 throughout the period this platform ran, and the operator name attached to this platform, 鋒匯, is a contraction of it. Amundi publishes a standing warning that its name, address, logo and approval number are being usurped in fraudulent investment offers, and its Taiwan arm publishes the same warning in Chinese.
- Clients describe one failure, repeatedly. Money went in and did not come back out. The reports cluster tightly across August and September 2021, weeks after the platform went live, with a second wave in late 2023. They carry amounts, dates and the platform name, and several describe being recruited through dating apps before being moved onto the trading site.
- Taiwan police listed the domain. The 165 anti-fraud service publishes the sites the public reports as fake investment platforms. Its August 2021 edition names a login page on this domain, wda.amuud.com, under the operator name 鋒匯. Those weekly editions are published on a rolling basis, so that entry survives in reproductions rather than on the current page.
- The infrastructure was never a single brokerage. Certificate records show around twenty short subdomains of this one domain certified within nine minutes of each other on 9 July 2021, several of them named after well known financial brands. One domain serving many simultaneous brand fronts is the shape of a scam platform host.
The operation has since gone dark. dya.amuud.com stopped resolving, and the parent domain lapsed and was registered again on 1 July 2024 by a Taiwanese clothing retailer with no connection to any of this. Nothing in this report reflects on that retailer, or on Amundi Asset Management.
Note on operating history: the 5.2-year track record rests on domain registration alone. No company incorporation date could be established, so this is an upper bound rather than a confirmed age.

ModerateGoogle Public DNSE2Certificate transparency records show around twenty short subdomains of amuud.com certified within nine minutes of each other on 9 July 2021, including dya.amuud.com and siblings named after well known financial brands. This is the signature of one host running many brand fronts at once.
E3The registration record for amuud.com shows a registration date of 1 July 2024 at GoDaddy, years after the platform's certificates were issued. The domain lapsed and was taken by a new owner.
ModerateVerisign RDAP registry recordE4The domain today serves a Taiwanese clothing retailer trading as muud, with its own Taiwanese business registration number in the footer. It is an unrelated business and none of the findings in this report concern it.
ModerateCurrent site at the domainE5Taiwan police publish the websites reported to the 165 anti-fraud service as fake investment platforms. The August 2021 edition names a login page on this domain, wda.amuud.com, under the operator name 鋒匯, the same operator name recorded against this platform elsewhere.
E6Multiple clients, mostly in Taiwan, report the same failure: deposits accepted and withdrawals then refused. Amounts of 50,000 and 100,000 in local currency are described as stuck on the platform. The reports cluster across August and September 2021, with a second wave in November and December 2023.

StrongGLEIF global LEI indexE10Amundi publishes a standing warning that fraudulent investment proposals are usurping the name, address, logo and approval number of authorised firms including Amundi, and states that it never contacts the public directly to offer a product and never raises funds directly from the public.
E11Amundi's licensed Taiwanese subsidiary publishes a Chinese-language fraud warning about parties stealing the identity of 鋒裕匯理 and its staff. That was its trading name during the period this platform operated, and the operator name recorded for the platform, 鋒匯, is a contraction of it.
E12The Hong Kong police list of fake investment platforms was checked for this domain and operator name. Neither appears on the current list, which is a no-hit result rather than a clearance.
E13Web archive coverage of this domain is limited to two captures of the parent domain, in 2007 and 2016, with no captures of the broker subdomain. The platform's own pages therefore cannot be read back.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
We looked for the innocent reading before settling on this one. Here is what we tested and what survives in the operation's favour.
- Could it have been a regional arm of the real Amundi? No. Amundi's Taiwanese business is a licensed investment trust company operating from amundi.com.tw, and Amundi states plainly that it never approaches the public directly and never raises funds directly from the public. A one dollar minimum deposit and 1:1000 leverage on MetaTrader 4 is not that firm's business.
- Could the complaints have been planted by a competitor? Unlikely. They span more than two years, come from different reporters, carry specific amounts and dates, and describe the same mechanic. A planted burst is usually tight, generic and steers readers to a named alternative. None of these do.
- Could the absence of a licence be legitimate? No. Prop firms and introducers need no broker licence, but this operation took client deposits for live trading, which is precisely the activity that requires authorisation.
- Could we have the wrong company? No. Every source used here publishes dya.amuud.com, which is the exact site under investigation.
- Points genuinely in its favour. One user left a positive comment about the platform in 2024. No financial regulator has published a formal enforcement action naming this operation, and the police listing is a public reporting record rather than a finding of guilt. And because the site is gone, nobody can deposit money with it today.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict is falsifiable. Any of the following would force us to revisit it.
- Documentation from a financial regulator showing that this operation, at this domain, held a licence to take client deposits.
- Confirmation from Amundi Asset Management that dya.amuud.com was operated by it or with its consent.
- Credible, checkable accounts from clients who were paid out in full, in a volume that outweighs the withdrawal reports.
- Evidence that the withdrawal reports and the police reported-site listing were fabricated or attached to the wrong domain.
- A company registry entry for the operator that matches the name, dates and activity claimed for the platform.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is AMUNDI a scam?
Yes, the trading platform that operated as AMUNDI at dya.amuud.com was. It held no licence, took deposits from retail clients in Taiwan, and multiple clients report that their withdrawals were refused. The site no longer resolves. This is not the same company as Amundi Asset Management, the regulated French asset manager.
Is AMUNDI a fraud?
We assess the risk of fraud as high for the platform at dya.amuud.com. Taiwan police list a page on the same domain among sites reported by the public as fake investment platforms, and clients describe deposits being accepted and withdrawals then refused. No court or regulator has published a formal fraud finding naming this operation, so we state this as our assessment rather than as an established legal fact.
Is this the same company as Amundi, the French asset manager?
No, and the distinction matters. Amundi Asset Management is a large, active and regulated firm based in Paris, with a licensed subsidiary in Taiwan. The platform at dya.amuud.com simply used its name. Amundi itself publishes warnings that its name, address, logo and approval number are being misused by fraudulent investment offers.
Was AMUNDI regulated?
No. The operation named no regulator, and no financial regulator holds a record of it. One client reported in August 2021 that when asked to produce a licence, the platform could not.
Can I still withdraw my money from AMUNDI?
There is no working site to withdraw from. dya.amuud.com stopped resolving and the operation appears to have closed. If you have funds stuck, treat it as a loss to be reported to police and to your bank rather than a withdrawal to be chased.
Is the AMUNDI website still online?
No. dya.amuud.com no longer resolves. The parent domain, amuud.com, lapsed and was registered again in July 2024 by an unrelated Taiwanese clothing retailer. That retailer has no connection to the trading platform.
Who was behind the platform?
The operator name recorded against it is 鋒匯 (Fenghui), which appears both in a police reported-site listing and in a third-party broker directory. No company registration number, registered address or named officers were ever published, and no company registry entry can be traced.
How old was the platform?
The earliest verifiable trace is 9 July 2021, when its certificate was issued. Client reports run from August 2021 into late 2023, after which the operation went dark. Because no company behind it can be dated, that figure rests on the domain evidence alone and is an upper bound.
Is AMUNDI a clone?
It is a brand impersonation rather than a licence clone. It did not quote another firm's licence number, because it quoted no licence at all. What it took was the name of a real regulated asset manager, in English as AMUNDI and in Chinese as 鋒匯, a contraction of the brand Amundi's Taiwanese subsidiary was using at the time.
How were people recruited to it?
Several clients describe being approached on dating apps and then moved onto the trading platform, which is the standard romance-investment pattern. Others describe being pushed to deposit more to join a bonus event before any withdrawal would be considered.
What do I do if I was scammed by this platform?
Report it to the police straight away. In Taiwan that is the 165 anti-fraud line. Contact your bank the same day about recalling the payments, and gather your transfer records, chat logs and the account manager's details. Do not pay anyone who offers to recover the money for an upfront fee, because that is a common second scam aimed at the same victims.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Search the regulator's own register for the exact legal entity and licence number, not just the brand. Check that the website listed on the register is the site you are actually on. Be wary of very high leverage, a one dollar minimum deposit, contact only through messaging apps, and any request for a further payment before a withdrawal is released.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Practical guidance for anyone who reaches this page.
- Do not deposit. The site is gone. Anyone still using this name to solicit an investment is not a broker, and is not Amundi.
- If you lost money, report it. In Taiwan, call the 165 anti-fraud line or file with the police. Elsewhere, report to your national police and financial regulator.
- Contact your bank immediately. Ask about a payment recall or chargeback and give them the dates and amounts. Speed matters more than anything else here.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your funds for a fee. Victims of platforms like this are routinely approached a second time by recovery scams. No legitimate service asks for payment up front to release money.
- If you hold or are considering a genuine Amundi product, deal only through your bank or adviser and verify through amundi.com.
