Is mirrox a scam?

Confirmed scamHIGH confidence
Withdrawal trap with advance-fee demands

Yes. We assess Mirrox as a scam, and we assess the risk of fraud as high. India's central bank lists its website by name as unauthorised, and clients on several platforms describe the same sequence: deposits accepted, balances drained, then withdrawals refused.

  • Bengaluru police registered a cheating case in September 2025 over a loss of about 420,000 US dollars. The complainant was recruited by a man who gave his name as Waleed B of Mirrox, and says she was asked for a processing fee and tax before any withdrawal would be released.
  • The Reserve Bank of India's Alert List, updated 19 November 2025, carries Mirrox at entry 91 with the address www.mirrox.com.
  • The Comoros licence it advertises is genuine and runs to 1 April 2027, but it comes from the Mwali registrar, which is not a financial supervisor and protects no client money.
  • Of 93 reviews on its mirrox.com page, 70 percent are one star and the most used word is fraud. Trustpilot has withheld the rating there for a breach of its guidelines and says it removed a number of fake reviews.
  • mirrox.com no longer belongs to the company. It is listed for sale at 7,988 dollars, and the business now trades from mirrox.vip, registered in December 2025.

Regulation

7/10 · High

Holds a genuine, in force Comoros MISA licence exclusive to Capital Crest Ltd, which caps this score, but the issuer is not a financial supervisor and India's central bank lists the exact website as unauthorised.

Identity & transparency

6/10 · High

Entity, registration number, address and licence are disclosed consistently and no third party identity is misused, but ownership is undisclosed, the only address is a registrar post box and the firm's published phone is a United Kingdom mobile.

Withdrawals & conduct

9/10 · Critical

Fund integrity complaints meet all four pattern tests across more than one platform, with account numbers and amounts, plus a police reported demand for a processing fee and tax before withdrawal.

Reputation

9/10 · Critical

70 percent one star across 93 reviews with the rating withheld for a guidelines breach and fake reviews removed, a national media fraud case naming the brand, and a central bank alert list entry.

Website claims

7/10 · High

No false tier one claim and no invented founding year, but a worthless registration is advertised as ensuring strict financial security, and clients report marketing built on fabricated celebrity endorsements and guaranteed profit talk.

Operational history

6/10 · High

Verifiable footprint only from May 2024, current domain from December 2025, the original domain lost and now for sale, and the operating company could not be dated on any registry.

Reserve Bank of India Alert List, updated 19 November 2025, listing Mirrox at entry 91 against the website www.mirrox.com as not authorised to deal in forex in India

Why we reached this verdict

How the evidence adds up.

Two findings carry this verdict, and each stands on its own.

  • India's central bank names the exact website. The Reserve Bank of India's Alert List, updated 19 November 2025, carries Mirrox at entry 91 against the address www.mirrox.com. The list covers entities not authorised to deal in forex under India's foreign exchange law or to run an electronic trading platform there. Read fairly, it is an authorisation list and not a finding of misconduct: eToro, IG, XM, Pepperstone and even the MetaTrader software appear on it. What it establishes here is that this operation was soliciting Indian residents without authorisation, which matches the Hindi and Bengali versions of its own site.
  • Money goes in and then does not come out. Bengaluru police registered a case in September 2025 after a 57 year old retired woman lost about 420,000 US dollars between 25 February and 23 April. She was drawn in by an advert built around an artificial video of a well known public figure promoting a 250 dollar investment, which is exactly the minimum deposit Mirrox publishes. A representative calling himself Waleed B of Mirrox contacted her from United Kingdom mobile numbers in the same +44 7701 42 block as the number listed for the firm, added her to a WhatsApp group of around 100 people, taught her to trade over Zoom and had her fund an app called Mirrox. When she tried to withdraw, the operators asked for a processing fee and tax first. No legitimate broker charges a fee to release a client's own money, which is why that single demand weighs as heavily as it does.

The complaint record describes the same machine, in checkable detail:

  • 93 reviews on the mirrox.com page, 70 percent one star, 3 percent five star, with fraud the most used word. Trustpilot has withheld the rating there for a breach of its guidelines and states that it removed a number of fake reviews, so the manipulation ran towards praise, not criticism.
  • One client gives account number 530836 and 8,000 dollars of equity he can neither trade nor reach, with no answer to his emails. Another gives account 776923. A third describes 40,000 dollars deposited under pressure from a relationship manager, the account closed when his wife tried to withdraw, and a demand for further deposits before trading could resume.
  • A client who opened his account on 6 June 2025 describes profits shown on screen, swap and triple swap charges draining the balance, a 20,000 dollar credit granted on 18 December 2025 that could not be withdrawn, and the account dead by 6 January 2026.
  • A separate complaint recorded on BrokersView on 30 October 2025 describes an account above 60,000 dollars, a 38,000 dollar withdrawal refused, instructions to split it into 10,000 dollar requests, then delays attributed to a compliance review and finally silence.
  • All four pattern tests are met: one mechanism rather than assorted gripes, a cluster from December 2025 into January 2026 that continues into September 2026, separate users on more than one platform, and amounts, dates and account numbers a reader can check.

Three further facts matter for anyone deciding today.

  • The licence is real but hollow. BFX2024064 exists, belongs to this company alone and runs to 1 April 2027. It was issued by the registrar of the autonomous Comoros island of Mwali, which is not a prudential supervisor, enforces no client money segregation and offers no compensation scheme or usable complaints route. The Comoros central bank does not recognise these licences.
  • The address changed shortly after the regulator named it. mirrox.vip was registered on 11 December 2025, three weeks after the Alert List entry. mirrox.com was then re-registered by a domain reseller on 5 August 2026 and is offered for sale at 7,988 dollars, so the address most clients knew, and the mailbox on it, no longer reach the company.
  • Nothing here is long established. The earliest verifiable footprint is a certificate issued for mirrox.com on 14 May 2024, with legal documents uploaded that June and archived redirects from August 2024. The current domain dates from December 2025. The incorporation date of Capital Crest Ltd is not published anywhere, so the age rests on the domains alone and should be read as an upper bound.

No entry for this firm or this entity was found on the warning lists of the FCA, ASIC, the CFTC, the Malaysian Securities Commission or the Japanese and Korean regulators as of October 2026. The Indian listing is the only one. The six dimension scores average about 76 out of 100; the published figure is 90 because two independent findings of the most serious class survive, a regulator naming the exact website and a specific, credible demand for payment before a client's funds would be released.

Evidence ledger

Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.

10 against2 in favour
  • E1The Reserve Bank of India's Alert List, updated 19 November 2025, carries Mirrox at entry 91 against the address www.mirrox.com, among 95 entities not authorised to deal in forex under India's foreign exchange law or to run an electronic trading platform there. The exact anchor domain is named by a central bank.

  • E2A Bengaluru police case reported on 11 September 2025: a 57 year old woman lost about 420,000 US dollars between 25 February and 23 April after an artificial video advert promoting a 250 dollar investment, which matches the minimum deposit Mirrox publishes. A man calling himself Waleed B, described as a representative of Mirrox, contacted her from United Kingdom mobile numbers, added her to a WhatsApp group of around 100 people, taught her over Zoom and had her fund an app called Mirrox. When she tried to withdraw, the operators demanded a processing fee and tax first.

  • E3Trustpilot has withheld the rating on the mirrox.com page because of a breach of its guidelines and states that it removed a number of fake reviews for this company, which means the manipulation ran towards praise rather than criticism.

  • E493 reviews on the mirrox.com page, 70 percent one star and 3 percent five star, with fraud the most used term. Detailed fund integrity accounts include account 530836 holding 8,000 dollars that cannot be traded or reached, account 776923, 40,000 dollars deposited under relationship manager pressure followed by account closure on a withdrawal attempt, and an account opened on 6 June 2025 drained by swap charges, given a 20,000 dollar non withdrawable credit on 18 December 2025 and inoperative by 6 January 2026.

  • E5A complaint recorded on 30 October 2025 against Mirrox, operated by Capital Crest Ltd: an account above 60,000 dollars, a 38,000 dollar withdrawal rejected, instructions to resubmit in 10,000 dollar tranches, the first paid and later requests delayed on compliance grounds, after which the firm stopped answering emails.

  • E6Marketing built on endorsements that were never given: the police case rests on an artificial video of a well known public figure, and a client describes newspaper and messaging adverts using India's finance minister, two prominent business figures and a major Indian bank's logo and name, promising earnings from a 21,000 rupee stake.

  • E7A solicitation apparatus far wider than the licence: the site runs ten language versions including Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Japanese, Korean and Tagalog, while holding authorisation only from an island registrar in the Comoros and no licence in any of those markets.

  • E8The only telephone number the firm publishes for a Comoros registered company is a United Kingdom mobile, +44 7822104075, and the number listed for it elsewhere sits in the same +44 7701 42 block as one of the numbers used to contact the Bengaluru complainant.

  • E9The website on record changed hands after the regulator named it. mirrox.com was re-registered through a reseller on 5 August 2026 with sale parking nameservers, and the address now serves a listing offering the domain for 7,988 dollars, so neither the site nor the mailbox on it reaches the company any more.

  • E10The operation's own age: the first wildcard certificate for mirrox.com was issued on 14 May 2024, with platform and verification subdomains added in July 2024, while the current domain mirrox.vip was registered on 11 December 2025. Certificates before 2024 belong to an unrelated earlier use of the name.

  • E11Terms that drain a dormant balance: a 10 US dollar maintenance fee charged monthly with further inactivity fees once an account is unused for over a month, and withdrawals quoted at eight to ten business days.

  • E12The licence it advertises is genuine and its own: International Brokerage and Clearing House licence BFX2024064 in the name of Capital Crest Ltd, effective 1 April 2024 and renewed to 1 April 2027, published in the site footer, on the legal page and in a renewal certificate dated 17 March 2026. No other firm's credentials are in use, so this is not a clone.

  • E13The company engages publicly with complaints, posting dated replies in February 2026 that ask the client for an account number and give a support address on its current domain, and some withdrawals did complete.

  • E14A British company called CAPITAL CREST LTD, number 14783457, incorporated on 5 April 2023 at 67 Phoenix Way in London, trades in real estate and has no connection to this broker. Searches on the brokerage's entity name will surface it, and nothing from its record belongs to this report.

The other side

The strongest case in this broker’s favour.

The case against this broker is strong, but the following points are real and belong on the record.

  • This is not a clone. The licence it advertises is its own, registered to Capital Crest Ltd exclusively. We found no sign of another company's licence number, name, registration number or address being used, so no third party's credentials are involved.
  • The paperwork is consistent. The same entity, registration number HT00324037 and Comoros address appear in the site footer, the legal pack, the company's own review profile and the licence record. Many dishonest operators cannot keep that straight.
  • It does not lie about its regulator or its age. There is no claim to a tier one licence, no invented founding year and no fabricated awards. It publishes a client agreement, privacy and AML policies, a risk disclosure, a fee schedule, a complaints procedure and a renewal certificate.
  • It answers complaints in public. Dated replies on Trustpilot ask the client for an account number and give a support address, and some withdrawals did complete, including the first 10,000 dollar tranche in the case recorded on BrokersView.
  • It turns away several markets, including the European Union, the UAE and GCC states, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea and Russia, which is what a firm avoiding regulated territories is expected to do rather than evidence of theft.
  • The Indian listing is about authorisation, not honesty. Well regulated firms sit on the same list, so that entry on its own would not support a scam verdict.
  • Some angry reviews are themselves tainted. Several one star reviews on the newer domain end by recommending named fund recovery agents. Those recommendations are a scam in their own right, and we discounted every review carrying one.

What would change this

What we would need to see to revise the verdict.

We would revisit this verdict on any of the following.

  • A documented record of withdrawals paid in full and on time, on platforms the company does not control, covering the clients now reporting blocked or closed accounts.
  • Removal of the Mirrox entry from the Reserve Bank of India's Alert List, or a genuine authorisation in a market it actually solicits.
  • A supervisory licence from a real regulator, held by the same entity that takes the deposits, with client money in segregated accounts at a named bank.
  • Evidence that the Bengaluru police case and the complaints quoted here concern an impersonator rather than this operation, such as a police finding naming a different platform or domain.
  • Published audited accounts, a disclosed and verifiable office, and named beneficial owners.
  • Withdrawal of the demand pattern itself: any evidence that clients are no longer asked for fees, taxes or further deposits before their funds are released.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this broker’s safety.

14 questions
Is Mirrox a scam?

Yes, we assess Mirrox as a scam. India's central bank lists www.mirrox.com as not authorised to deal in forex, Bengaluru police registered a cheating case in September 2025 naming a Mirrox representative, and clients across several platforms describe deposits accepted and withdrawals then refused. The pattern is consistent and the details are specific enough to verify.

Is Mirrox a fraud?

We do not state that as a legal fact, because that is for a court to decide. What we can report is that Bengaluru police registered a case in September 2025 under India's cheating provisions and the Information Technology Act in a matter naming a Mirrox representative, and that we assess the risk of fraud as high. Clients report being asked for a processing fee and tax before any withdrawal would be released.

Is Mirrox regulated?

Only in the thinnest sense. Capital Crest Ltd holds International Brokerage and Clearing House licence BFX2024064 from the Mwali International Services Authority in the Comoros, in force to 1 April 2027. That licence is genuine and belongs to this company alone, but the issuer is an island registrar, not a financial supervisor. Mirrox holds no licence from any mainstream regulator.

What is a MISA licence actually worth?

Very little. The Mwali registrar sells registrations for the autonomous Comoros island of Mohéli. It does not audit brokers, does not enforce segregation of client money, runs no compensation scheme and offers no realistic complaints route. The Comoros central bank does not recognise these licences. Treat a MISA licence as a paid badge rather than protection.

Can I withdraw my money from Mirrox?

Many clients report that they cannot. The published policy says withdrawals take eight to ten business days, but complaints describe requests refused, split into smaller tranches and then stalled, accounts closed or frozen with a balance on them, and demands for a fee, a tax or a further deposit first. If you hold a balance, request a full withdrawal in writing now and keep every ticket number.

Is my money safe with Mirrox?

No. There is no supervisory regulator standing behind the company, no compensation scheme and no evidence that client funds are held in segregated accounts at a named bank. Clients report balances drained by swap and other charges and non withdrawable credit added to accounts. Treat any money sent to this broker as money at risk of total loss.

Who owns Mirrox and what is Capital Crest Ltd?

Mirrox is the trading brand of Capital Crest Ltd, a company registered in the Union of Comoros under number HT00324037 at a post box in Fomboni. No directors or beneficial owners are disclosed anywhere on the site. Note that a separate British company called CAPITAL CREST LTD in London, number 14783457, is a real estate business with no connection to this broker.

How old is Mirrox?

About two and a half years at most. Its earliest verifiable footprint is a certificate issued for mirrox.com on 14 May 2024, with legal documents uploaded in June 2024 and the Comoros licence effective from 1 April 2024. The current website, mirrox.vip, was registered on 11 December 2025. The incorporation date of the company is not published, so the figure rests on the domains alone.

Why does mirrox.com show a page offering the domain for sale?

Because the company no longer holds it. The domain was re-registered by a reseller on 5 August 2026 and is now advertised for 7,988 dollars. The business moved to mirrox.vip, registered three weeks after India's central bank published its Alert List entry against mirrox.com. Mail to addresses on the old domain no longer reaches the firm.

Is Mirrox banned in India?

It is named on the Reserve Bank of India's Alert List, updated 19 November 2025, at entry 91 against www.mirrox.com. That means it is not authorised to deal in forex under India's foreign exchange law nor to operate an electronic trading platform there. Indian residents who trade through such platforms risk losses and legal penalties.

Is Mirrox a clone of another broker?

No. The licence, the company name and the brand are its own, and we found no other firm's licence number, entity name, registration number or address in use. The problems here are the conduct and the worthless licence, not impersonation.

I have already deposited with Mirrox. What should I do?

Act today. Request a full withdrawal in writing, screenshot your balance, trade history and chat logs, and refuse any request for a fee, tax or further deposit to release funds. Ask your card issuer about a chargeback and report the transfers to your bank's fraud team. In India, file on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and at your local cyber police station, and do not wait: the Bengaluru complaint was filed about five months after the last transfer, which police said made recovery much harder.

Should I trust a recovery company that offers to get my money back?

No. Several reviews of this broker end by promoting named recovery agents, which is a standard second strike on people who have already lost money. Nobody can guarantee recovery, and any upfront fee is almost always lost as well. Work through your bank, your card scheme and the police instead.

What should I check before depositing with any broker?

Four things. Find the licence number on the regulator's own register, not on the broker's website. Check that the entity holding the licence is the same one your deposit contract names. Search the exact domain on your own regulator's warning or alert list. And read the one star reviews for the specific mechanism described, with amounts, dates and account numbers, rather than counting stars.

What we recommend

The practical takeaway from everything above.

Our advice

Our advice is to stay out, and to move quickly if you are already in.

  • Do not deposit, and do not top up an existing balance. Every reported sequence here begins with a small deposit that is allowed to show a profit.
  • Never pay a fee, a tax, an insurance charge or a margin top up to release a withdrawal. That demand is the mechanism itself, not a step towards your money.
  • Request a full withdrawal in writing today, keep every ticket number, and screenshot your balance, trade history and chat logs before anything changes.
  • If you paid by card, ask your bank about a chargeback immediately and report the transfers to its fraud team. In India, file on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and at your local cyber police station. The Bengaluru case was reported about five months after the last transfer, which the police said made recovery far harder.
  • Ignore anyone offering to recover your losses for an upfront fee, including the agents promoted inside reviews of this broker.
  • Remember that mirrox.com is no longer the company's. Mail to the old address on that domain will not reach it, and an old bookmark now opens a page offering the domain for sale.
