- Registered: Claimed a London office at 71-75 Shelton Street (a well-known mass-registration address); the UK filing address was a Cardiff PO box. The licensed entity is registered in Anjouan, Union of the Comoros.
- Website: roxcapitals.com (now offline and parked; login/app subdomains my., client., app.)

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We reached a likely-scam verdict because the deception is on the record and the money complaints match it.
- A fake top-tier licence. The site told clients it was registered with the US National Futures Association under ID 0554208. We checked the NFA public database and that ID returns no firm. Claiming a regulator you do not hold is a core scam signal.
- The only real licence is worthless and now dead. The genuine Anjouan AOFA registration is an island-level offshore permit that the Comoros central bank has publicly disowned. It does not protect deposits, and it expired on 19 November 2025 without renewal.
- Client funds were withheld. A detailed, authenticated report describes the account being blocked and about USD 41,000 in profit locked away, with only the deposit offered back. The company reply itself admits it closes positions and returns only capital when it decides a client broke its rules.
- The corporate shell is collapsing. The UK company went dormant after 2022, drifted to the Companies House default address, and was dissolved in July 2026. The website is offline and the domain has lapsed.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1roxcapitals.com was registered on 9 June 2020 and is now expired and in redemption, served by parking nameservers, indicating the operation is winding down.
ModerateVerisign RDAPE2The broker claimed it was registered with the US National Futures Association under ID 0554208, but that ID returns no registered firm on NFA BASIC, so the top-tier regulatory claim is fabricated.

Moderatea third-party broker directoryE7Independent review coverage and a poor Trustpilot standing report delayed or refused withdrawals and hidden charges, consistent with the confiscation account.
ModerateTrustpilot and independent review sitesE8The operation is genuinely long-running rather than a fresh fake: the domain dates to June 2020 and a matching UK company was incorporated the same month.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness, here is the case for the broker.
- This was a real, six-year operation, not a one-week fake. The domain dates to June 2020 and a matching UK company was incorporated days later.
- It did hold a genuine Anjouan licence that we could confirm on the Anjouan authority record, so it is not a pure paper front with nothing behind it.
- The most detailed complaint comes from a user the company says has filed similar complaints against several brokers, which is a fair caution about that single account.
- We did not find a formal regulator warning naming this exact website, so no financial authority has publicly blacklisted it.
These points lower certainty, but they do not undo a fabricated US-regulator claim or the admitted profit-withholding.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
We would revisit this verdict if the facts changed.
- Evidence that the National Futures Association ID 0554208 is genuinely registered to this firm would remove the central deception finding.
- A live, in-force licence from a real regulator (not an offshore island registry) covering the entity that takes deposits would move this toward high-risk-but-regulated.
- Consistent, verifiable reports of clients being paid out in full and on time would ease the fund-integrity concern.
- Conversely, a regulator warning naming roxcapitals.com, or more corroborated confiscation cases, would push this to a confirmed scam.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Rox Capitals a scam?
We rate it a likely scam. It advertised a US regulator it does not hold, its only real licence is a now-expired offshore permit, and clients report having profits seized and withdrawals refused.
Is Rox Capitals regulated?
Not in any meaningful way. Its only genuine registration was an Anjouan (Comoros) offshore licence that the Comoros central bank disowns, and it expired in November 2025. Its claimed US NFA registration is not real.
Can I withdraw my money from Rox Capitals?
That is the main problem reported. Users describe blocked accounts, confiscated profits and refused withdrawals. The company itself says it may close positions and return only your deposit.
Is my money safe with Rox Capitals?
No. There is no real regulator, no compensation scheme, the website is offline and the operating companies are dissolved or lapsed.
Who owns Rox Capitals?
Ownership is not clearly disclosed. The brand used a UK company (Rox Capitals Ltd, now dissolved) and an Anjouan company of the same name; no clear beneficial owner is published.
How old is Rox Capitals?
About six years. The domain and the original UK company both date to June 2020. The offshore licensing entity was set up later, in November 2023.
What is the Anjouan AOFA licence worth?
Very little. It is an island-level offshore registration in the Comoros that the national central bank has publicly disavowed. It does not supervise the firm or protect client deposits, and in this case it has expired.
Did Rox Capitals really have a US NFA licence?
No. The site quoted NFA ID 0554208, but a search of the NFA public database returns no such registered firm. The claim appears fabricated.
Is Rox Capitals a clone of another broker?
We found no evidence it impersonates a specific well-known firm. The issue here is false regulatory claims and fund complaints, not brand impersonation.
Is the Rox Capitals website still working?
No. The main site is offline and the domain has lapsed into a redemption/parked state, which suggests the operation is winding down.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Confirm the licence number on the regulator's own register, check the licence is current and covers taking deposits, verify the legal entity and address, and read independent withdrawal reviews. Rox Capitals fails these checks.
I was scammed by Rox Capitals. What do I do?
Stop depositing, gather all records, request withdrawal in writing, report to your local regulator, and ask your bank or card provider about reversing payments. Avoid upfront-fee recovery offers, which are usually a second scam.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat Rox Capitals as unsafe for deposits.
- Do not send new money. The site is offline, the offshore licence has expired and the UK company is dissolved.
- If you already hold a balance, request a full withdrawal in writing and keep every statement, ticket and chat log.
- Ignore any demand to pay a tax, fee or verification charge to release funds. No legitimate broker requires that.
- If you have lost money, report it to your local financial regulator and, if you paid by card or bank transfer, ask your bank about a chargeback or recall.
- Be wary of anyone who contacts you offering to recover these funds for an upfront fee, as that is a common follow-up scam.
