Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
9/10 · CriticalNo licence anywhere and no regulator ever named, while the site ran a funding page and a live client area taking deposits; credited that it never faked a licence number and carries no warning-list hit.
Identity & transparency
9/10 · CriticalNo legal entity, no address, no terms or legal pages, hidden domain ownership, no named staff and no company on the UK register: total opacity behind a deposit-taking site.
Withdrawals & conduct
7/10 · HighTwo fund-integrity reports and no positive counterweight, one of them a specific advance-fee demand of 10 per cent to release around 10,000; held below the top band because it sits on a single platform and the pattern is unconfirmed.
Reputation
7/10 · HighBoth reviews on the only platform carrying this domain are negative, none positive, and the review page is now closed because the website shut; volume is too small for the worst band.
Website claims
7/10 · HighClaimed over 25 million users worldwide on a site about six months old with placeholder template pages still in the menu; no false licence claim and no false founding year were made.
Operational history
8/10 · CriticalDomain registered February 2024 and verifiably operating only from August 2024 to March 2025, then suspended and deleted; a churned operation of roughly fourteen months, with no company datable.
Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
Everything the public record actually establishes about this operation:
- Brand: Apex Global Market
- Legal entity: none ever disclosed. No company name appeared anywhere on the website, and no matching company exists on the UK register.
- Registered: no address was ever published. Domain ownership was hidden behind a paid privacy service.
- Website: apexglobal.market, registered on 26 February 2024, now deleted from the domain system.
- Client area: cfd.agmplatform.com, reached from the site's own Login and Register buttons. It has also lapsed.
- Only licence: none. No regulator was named and no licence number was ever shown.
- Offers: forex and CFDs on metals, energy, commodities, stock indices and cryptocurrencies, sold as an AI powered platform with a personal account manager.
- Not accepted: no restricted-country list was ever published, and there were no terms, legal or privacy pages at all.
- Age claim: no founding year was claimed, but the homepage claimed over 25 million users worldwide.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We reached this verdict from the operation's own archived pages, the domain records and one detailed first-hand account tied to this exact website.
- It took money without a licence and without a name. We read every archived version of the homepage from August 2024 to March 2025. There is no company, no address, no licence number, no regulator and no terms page anywhere on it. At the same time the site ran a Funding section and pushed visitors to a live client area at cfd.agmplatform.com. Taking deposits for leveraged trading while disclosing nothing about who you are is the core of the problem here.
- A client was asked to pay to get their money back. On the Trustpilot page for apexglobal.market, a reviewer from the Netherlands wrote in January 2025 that she lost around 10,000, that the operation insisted the only wallet it worked with was Coinbase, that her approved transfer never arrived, and that she was then told to pay 10 per cent before the 10,000 would be returned. She names the person who phoned her daily. A demand for a further payment before funds are released has no legitimate counterpart in this industry.
- The operation abandoned its clients. The last working copy of the site is dated 1 March 2025. By 3 April 2025 the address returned an Account Suspended notice from its hosting provider. The domain now does not exist in the domain system at all, and the platform domain has lapsed and been picked up by an unrelated party. Trustpilot has closed the review page because the company's website has closed.
- The site oversold itself. A website roughly six months old claimed over 25 million users worldwide, while its own menu still pointed at unnamed placeholder pages left over from the page-building template.
- What we deliberately did not count. Apex is a very crowded name. We found regulator warnings and heavy complaint histories for APEX-GLOBAL TRADES, Apex Capital Markets, ApexMarkets, apexmarkets.live and several others. Every one of them names a different website, so we excluded all of them. None of those findings is recorded against this broker, and no regulator warning names apexglobal.market.
- Two limits on our confidence. The fund-integrity accounts sit on a single review platform, so the pattern is not confirmed across a second source. And because the operation never published a legal entity, we could not date a company, so the age figure rests on the domain registration alone and is an upper bound. On that basis the track record is about two and a half years, which is under three, and the whole operation was only actually reachable for around fourteen months.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The broker's own website no longer exists. Queries for apexglobal.market return a non-existent domain response, for both address and nameserver records, so the domain has been deleted rather than merely parked.
StrongGoogle Public DNSE2By 3 April 2025 the website address returned an Account Suspended notice from its hosting provider Bluehost, one month after the last working copy of the site.
E3A client of this exact website reports in January 2025 that she lost around 10,000, that the operation insisted the only wallet it used was Coinbase, that her approved transfer never arrived, and that she was then told to pay a further 10 per cent before the money would be returned. She names the person who phoned her daily. This is the advance-fee mechanic.
E4A second client of the same website, posting in April 2024 from a different country, describes it as a scam and a fake trading company. No mechanism is given, so this corroborates rather than proves.
E5The review platform has closed the page to new reviews on the stated ground that the company's website has closed, independently confirming the operation ceased. Two reviews in total and none in the last twelve months.
E6Every archived version of the homepage from August 2024 to March 2025 carries no company name, no registered address, no licence number, no regulator and no terms, legal or privacy page. The footer reads only as a copyright line for the brand. Yet the same page advertises a Funding section and forex and CFD trading.
E7The site's Login and Register buttons pointed to a separate client area at cfd.agmplatform.com, confirming a live account-opening and deposit funnel rather than a brochure site. Sibling subdomains api and socket show a full trading stack.
E8The client-area domain agmplatform.com has itself lapsed and was re-registered by an unrelated party on 17 April 2026 through a different registrar, so the entire trading infrastructure this operation used is gone.
E9The homepage claimed over 25 million users worldwide, on a domain registered in February 2024 that has two lifetime reviews and, on the same checker, a very low visitor ranking.
E10The website's menu still pointed at unnamed placeholder pages left by the page-building template, in place of real About, Funding and Account Types pages, indicating a hastily assembled site rather than an established brokerage.
E11The domain was registered on 26 February 2024 through registrar Tucows, with the owner's identity hidden behind a paid privacy service. This is consistent with the earliest archived material for the site and fixes the operation's maximum age.
E12No regulator warning names apexglobal.market. The FCA notice for APEX-GLOBAL TRADES names a different website, apex-globaltrades.com, and a London address; it was excluded from this report along with every other Apex warning we found.
E13No company named Apex Global Market exists on the UK register. The two closest names, Apex Global Marketing Ltd and Apex Global Markets Limited, are both dissolved and neither is tied to this website by any address, number or licence.
E14A third-party broker directory carries no entry for this website. The similarly named entries it does carry publish different websites and belong to other operations, so none of their findings was imported.
WeakA third-party broker directoryE15The site's own testimonial copy advertised an unsolicited phone call from an Account Manager offering help with the client's account, matching the daily phone contact described in the client complaint. This is the retention funnel pattern.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case in this broker's favour, stated as fairly as we can:
- No regulator has ever named this website. We swept the FCA warning list and searched across the major alert lists. The Apex warnings that exist belong to other operations at other domains. On this domain the regulator record is genuinely blank, and absence from a warning list is a real point in its favour, even though such lists lag new sites by months.
- The complaint base is very small. Two reviews in total, and only one of them describes what actually happened. We found nothing on a second platform. A two-review footprint is thin evidence on which to describe a business, and we have not treated it as a confirmed pattern.
- Not disclosing a licence is not the same as faking one. This operation never claimed to be regulated, never displayed a licence number it did not hold, and never wore another company's credentials. That is meaningfully less deceptive than the clone cases we more often see, and we have not scored it as one.
- A failed startup can look like this. Small ventures do run out of money, lose their hosting and let a domain lapse. If the only facts were the closure and the young domain, high risk unverified would be the right answer rather than likely scam.
- Our own record is unproven. Our file says United Kingdom. We could not confirm that, and we say so rather than repeating it.
What defeats the innocent reading is the combination: an operation that took deposits while refusing to identify itself, a client told to pay a percentage to release her balance, and then a disappearance without any wind-down notice.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict is not fixed. Any of the following would move it:
- Evidence the money came back. Credible accounts from clients who were paid out in full during 2024 or 2025, with amounts and dates, would undercut the central finding and pull this toward high risk unverified.
- A named, real company behind it. A corporate registry entry for the operating entity, matching an address the site actually published, would fix the identity gap that drives much of the score.
- A licence we could confirm. Any regulator's register showing this website or its operator authorised to hold client money would change the regulation finding outright.
- The advance-fee account being withdrawn or shown to be false. That single report carries real weight. If it were retracted, or shown to describe a different operation, the percentage would fall.
- An orderly wind-down. Documentation that clients were notified and balances returned before the site closed would reframe the disappearance as a business failure rather than an exit.
Moving the other way, a regulator warning naming apexglobal.market, or a second platform carrying matching fund-integrity complaints, would take this to confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Apex Global Market a scam?
On the evidence we found, very likely yes. It accepted deposits without naming a company, an address or any regulator, and a client reports being asked to pay a further 10 per cent before her balance of around 10,000 would be released. We rate it likely scam at 81 per cent. The operation has since disappeared.
Is Apex Global Market regulated?
No. The website never named a regulator or a licence number, and we found no licence for it in any jurisdiction. That means no compensation scheme and no ombudsman if something goes wrong with your money.
Can I still withdraw my money from Apex Global Market?
Not through the platform. The website apexglobal.market no longer exists in the domain system and the client area at cfd.agmplatform.com has lapsed. Your realistic routes are your bank or card issuer for a chargeback, or the crypto exchange you sent funds through.
Was my money ever safe with them?
No. With no licence and no disclosed company, there was no requirement to keep client money separate from the operator's own funds and no supervisor checking that it was. There is no protection scheme covering deposits made to this site.
Who owns Apex Global Market?
Nobody knows publicly. The website never published a company name, a director or an address, and the domain registration was hidden behind a paid privacy service. That anonymity is itself one of the strongest findings in this report.
How old was Apex Global Market?
The domain was registered on 26 February 2024. The site first appears in web archives in August 2024 and was suspended by 3 April 2025, so it was reachable for roughly fourteen months. Because no company was ever named, that domain date is an upper bound on the real age.
Why did the website disappear?
The hosting account was suspended in April 2025, which normally means unpaid bills or a provider policy breach, and the domain was later allowed to lapse and be deleted. There was no wind-down notice to clients that we could find.
Is Apex Global Market the same as Apex Global Trades, ApexMarkets or Apex Capital Markets?
No. Those are separate operations on separate websites, and several of them carry their own regulator warnings. We checked each one and excluded all of them from this report. Matching on the word Apex is exactly how the wrong company gets blamed.
Is Apex Global Market a clone of a regulated broker?
We found no evidence of that. It did not display another firm's licence number, entity name or registration, which is what a clone does. Its problem is the opposite: it displayed no credentials at all.
Someone asked me to pay a percentage to unlock my withdrawal. Is that normal?
Never. No regulated broker, bank or exchange requires a payment before returning money that is already yours. This is the advance-fee mechanic, and paying it reliably increases the loss rather than recovering it.
I was contacted by an account manager from Apex Global Market. What should I do?
Treat it as a cold approach from an unknown party. The operation we examined is offline, so whoever is calling is not operating the site we reviewed. Do not send money or identity documents, and check any company and licence number they give you on the regulator's own register first.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Four things. Find the legal entity name and address on the site. Find the licence number. Look that number up on the regulator's own register and confirm it lists this exact website. Then search the domain, not the brand name, for complaints. If any of the four is missing, do not deposit.
Should I use a recovery service to get my money back?
Not one that charges upfront. Victims of this kind of loss are routinely targeted a second time by fake recovery agents. Go through your bank, your card issuer, your crypto exchange and your national fraud reporting body instead.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Our advice for anyone who finds this brand:
- Do not send money. There is nothing to send it to. The website and the trading platform are both offline and the domain has been deleted.
- Never pay a fee to release your own funds. No legitimate broker, bank or exchange asks for a percentage before returning your balance. Every such request is part of the loss, not a way out of it.
- Treat any Apex Global Market contact as a fresh approach. If someone contacts you using this name now, they are not reaching you from the site we examined. Ask which company and which licence, and check it yourself before replying.
- If you paid, act on the payment trail. Contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback, and the exchange you sent crypto through. Keep every message, wallet address and transfer receipt.
- Report it. File with the financial regulator and the fraud reporting body in your own country. Reports on abandoned operations still matter, because the same operators tend to reappear under a new name.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money for an upfront fee. Victims of this pattern are targeted a second time by recovery scams.
