Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
6/10 · HighNo licence or register entry could be tied to fil-fx.cn and proof of regulation was not found; but with no readable site, a false licence claim could not be confirmed either.
Identity & transparency
6/10 · HighNo legal entity, owner or address could be established for this domain, and the name borrows the FIL/Fidelity brand; no operation could be observed to assess further.
Withdrawals & conduct
4/10 · ModerateNo withdrawal or fund-integrity complaints were found; this reflects the total absence of any customer footprint, not confirmed good conduct.
Reputation
5/10 · ModerateNo reviews, complaints or mentions of a broker at this domain exist on any platform, consistent with an operation that never went live rather than an established firm.
Website claims
5/10 · ModerateThe website does not resolve and was never archived, so on-site claims could not be assessed; the domain name itself invokes the FIL brand.
Operational history
6/10 · HighNo operating history could be established; the domain does not resolve and has no archived pages or certificate history, so any age is unverified.
Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
The record under review is a database entry, not a confirmed, working broker.
- Brand: FIL
- Legal entity: Not established. No company behind this domain could be identified.
- Registered: Not established. No address or jurisdiction could be confirmed.
- Website: fil-fx.cn (does not resolve; no live or archived page found).
- Only licence: None found for this domain.
- Offers: Unknown. The fx in the name suggests forex or CFDs, but no product could be confirmed.
- Not accepted: Unknown.
- Age claim: None found; the domain has no confirmable operating history.
- Not to be confused with: the genuine FIL (Fidelity International, FIL Limited), a Bermuda-based asset manager with about US$1.09 trillion under management, regulated by authorities including the FCA and Hong Kong SFC, at fidelityinternational.com. That company is unrelated to fil-fx.cn.
Regulation
Who really oversees this broker, and what each licence is worth to you.
Proof of regulation on an official register: No
We could not confirm this broker on any genuine regulator’s register.
No licence claims on record.
Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We are returning insufficient evidence because the operation could not be observed or tied to any real trace.
- fil-fx.cn does not resolve to any server, and no archived copy of it exists in the public web archive, so its pages could not be read.
- No security certificate has ever been issued for the domain, which a genuine trading site would need, so there is little sign it ever served customers.
- No regulator register, warning list, company registry or review platform records a broker at this domain.
- The name mirrors Fidelity International's FIL brand, which is a genuine warning sign of intent, but a name on its own does not prove an operation or a scam.
- With no site to read and no independent record, we cannot establish what this was. Calling it safe would be wrong, and calling it a proven scam would go beyond the evidence.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The domain fil-fx.cn does not resolve; a public DNS lookup returns NXDOMAIN (status 3), meaning the domain is not present in DNS and serves no website.
ModeratePublic DNS (Google)E2The public web archive holds no snapshot of fil-fx.cn or any of its subdomains, so there is no record the site was ever live and its pages cannot be read.
ModerateWayback Machine (CDX index)E3Certificate Transparency logs contain no TLS certificate ever issued for fil-fx.cn or its subdomains, consistent with a domain that never operated a secure trading site.
E4FIL is the brand of FIL Limited (Fidelity International), a regulated asset manager; the FIL Investment Management (Australia) entity is a real, active company (ABN 34 006 773 575, trading as Fidelity Investments Australia). A fil-fx.cn forex site borrows this well-known name.
ModerateAustralian Business RegisterE5No regulator register entry, warning-list hit, corporate registration, or customer review could be tied to fil-fx.cn across regulator, search, and review sources; the only FIL records found belong to the unrelated Fidelity International and were not attributed to this domain.
WeakRegulator warning lists, general web and review-platform searches
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness, several innocent explanations are possible.
- The domain may have been registered and never built into a working broker, in which case there is no operation and no victims.
- Our database entry may be an old or mistaken stub that never matched a live business.
- No customer has reported losing money at this domain, and no regulator has named it.
- Short strings like FIL and fx can appear together by chance, so a link to Fidelity, while likely, is not certain.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict would move quickly if any of the following came to light.
- A live or archived copy of fil-fx.cn showing it took deposits and displayed FIL or Fidelity branding or licence numbers would make this a clone case.
- A regulator warning that names fil-fx.cn would push it toward likely scam.
- Credible customer complaints about deposits or withdrawals at this domain would raise the risk sharply.
- Proof that a real, separately regulated company operates this domain would lower it.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is FIL (fil-fx.cn) a scam?
We could not confirm what it is. The website does not exist and no independent record of it operating as a broker could be found. That is not a clean bill of health: an operation nobody can verify should not be trusted with money.
Is FIL at fil-fx.cn a fraud?
We found no regulator warning, no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record naming fil-fx.cn. We also could not confirm it ever operated, so we make no finding either way. Do not read unproven as safe.
Is fil-fx.cn regulated?
No licence or regulator entry could be tied to a broker at this domain. Any FIL or Fidelity licences you may find online belong to the real Fidelity International, which is a different company.
Can I withdraw my money from fil-fx.cn?
There is no working website at this address, so there is nothing to trade on or withdraw from now. If you sent money to a site using this name, treat it as high risk and contact your bank immediately.
Is fil-fx.cn the same as Fidelity or FIL Limited?
No. FIL Limited (Fidelity International) is a large, regulated asset manager at fidelityinternational.com. It does not run fil-fx.cn and does not offer retail forex under that domain.
Is my money safe with fil-fx.cn?
We cannot confirm the operation exists, who runs it, or where deposits would go. That uncertainty alone makes it unsafe to deposit.
Who owns fil-fx.cn?
We could not establish any company or owner behind this domain. Our records name no legal entity, and none could be found in public registries.
How old is fil-fx.cn?
We could not establish any operating history. The domain does not resolve and has no archived pages or certificate history, so its age is unknown.
Is fil-fx.cn a clone of Fidelity?
The name (FIL plus fx) closely resembles Fidelity International's FIL brand, which is a warning sign. But the site could not be read to confirm it copied Fidelity's identity or licences, so we cannot label it a confirmed clone.
What should I check before depositing with any FIL forex site?
Confirm the exact domain, verify any licence number directly on the regulator's own register, and be wary of any forex site borrowing the name of a famous fund manager like Fidelity or FIL. When in doubt, do not deposit.
Why is there a report if the site does not exist?
The record was flagged in our database as a suspicious clone. We publish what we found: the domain is dead and traceless, and the name mimics a major brand, so it stays flagged for caution.
What would make this a confirmed scam?
A live or archived copy showing it took deposits under FIL or Fidelity branding, a regulator warning naming the domain, or credible victim complaints would move it from unverified to scam.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
For readers, and for our own records.
- Do not deposit money with any website using the fil-fx.cn address or a FIL forex branding until it is independently verified.
- Reach the genuine Fidelity International only through fidelityinternational.com, and confirm any licence on the regulator's own register.
- Keep this record flagged for caution and re-check it later. The name pattern is consistent with an attempted clone of a well-known brand, and it deserves a human review.
This is an independent assessment of risk, not a legal ruling. Scores and verdicts follow the Wikilix broker-safety methodology and can change as new evidence appears. Review scores are treated with caution when a broker’s reviews look manipulated. Last reviewed September 16, 2026.
