Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand: WINPROFX (WinproFx)
- Legal entity: WINPROFX Limited
- Registered: Saint Lucia, company registration No. 2023-00197, P.O. Box 838, Castries (our record says Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which appears to be wrong)
- Website: winprofx.com, with a mirror at winprofx.org and a client portal at my.winprofx.org
- Only licence: none. A Saint Lucia company registration is the sole registration, and Saint Lucia does not license or supervise forex brokers
- Offers: forex, indices, crypto, metals, commodities and oil on MetaTrader 5, with deposit bonuses
- Not accepted: the site lists USA, UAE, Cuba, Iraq, Myanmar, India, North Korea and Sudan as restricted, yet its client base and the police case are overwhelmingly Indian and its phone is a Dubai number
- Age claim: operating since 2023 (domain registered May 2023); it advertises 'Best Forex Broker 2025/2026' awards that are self-styled

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We reached CONFIRMED_SCAM because several strong, independent findings point the same way.
- A law enforcement fraud case names the platform. Gujarat Cyber Crime Police arrested WinProFX's website developer and administrator in 2026. Investigators allege the platform showed fictitious profits, blocked withdrawals when investors tried to recover their principal, and routed money through mule accounts. One Gujarat investor alone lost over 19 lakh rupees.
- The complaint pattern is fund integrity, not service quality. Users on Trustpilot, BrokersView and elsewhere describe the same mechanic: money deposited, then withdrawals refused or the balance emptied. Documented cases include a withdrawal of about 20,999 dollars left 'pending' while the account was wiped, and a 1,698 dollar balance that paid out only 500 dollars.
- There is no real regulation. The broker's own site names no financial regulator and its Client Fund Security page admits it does not guarantee segregated funds or deposit insurance. The Saint Lucia registration is company incorporation, not a trading licence, and the firm does not appear on the UAE, Labuan or Mauritius registers.
- The marketing is false. Calling itself 'Secure and Regulated' with 'guaranteed 30 minute withdrawals' while unlicensed and while blocking withdrawals is deception, not a service gap.
Note on operating history: the 3.3-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.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1Gujarat Cyber Crime Police arrested WinProFX's website developer and administrator in 2026, alleging the platform showed fictitious profits, blocked withdrawals when investors tried to recover their principal, and used mule bank accounts, across roughly 193,000 users in about 100 countries.
E2Trustpilot rates winprofx.com 1.5 of 5 across 171 reviews, with 67 percent one star and only 28 percent five star (a hollow middle), and 1-star themes centre on payment delays and blocked withdrawals.
StrongTrustpilotE3A documented case in which a client submitted a withdrawal of about 20,999 dollars that stayed 'pending' while the account balance was entirely wiped out, with no response from the broker (deposit of about 18,145 dollars).
StrongBrokersView via FastBullE4The broker's own Client Fund Security page states it does not guarantee segregated client funds, deposit insurance or regulatory capital protection, and the site names no financial regulator.
StrongWINPROFX websiteE5The operation is registered only as a Saint Lucia company (No. 2023-00197); Saint Lucia does not license forex brokers, and the firm does not appear on the UAE, Labuan or Mauritius financial registers.
E6Recent complaints describe a promoted 100 dollar bonus for completing KYC and a webinar that was not paid, and deposit bonuses applied without consent that then block withdrawals (a bonus-lock trap).
ModerateTrustpilot user reviewsE7The winprofx.com domain was registered on 18 May 2023 via GoDaddy, behind Cloudflare, consistent with an operation only about three years old.
WeakRDAP (Verisign)E8The site lists India, USA and UAE among restricted regions, yet its client base and the Indian police case are overwhelmingly Indian and its published phone is a Dubai (+971) number, a scope contradiction typical of offshore solicitation.

The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness, we tested the innocent explanations before concluding.
- Is it a real regulated group under an offshore arm? No. We found no tier 1 or tier 2 licence and no register entry under WINPROFX Limited in any jurisdiction, so there is no legitimate parent to shelter it.
- Is it a case of mistaken identity or a clone? No. The negative reports, the police case and the registration all point to the same brand and the same site, winprofx.com. This is an original operation, not an impersonation of a known firm.
- Are the complaints planted by competitors? Unlikely to explain the picture. The one star reviews carry specific amounts and dates, they span more than one platform, and an independent police investigation corroborates the same behaviour. There are positive reviews too, but many look solicited and several relate to an unpaid promotional bonus rather than genuine trading experience.
- Is it a prop firm that needs no licence? No. It takes client deposits for live trading, so a licence would normally be required.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
We would revisit this verdict if the facts changed in these ways.
- A genuine, in force licence from a recognised regulator (for example FCA, ASIC, CySEC or a comparable authority) that lists winprofx.com and WINPROFX Limited, verifiable on that regulator's own register.
- Clear evidence that the Indian police case was closed with no wrongdoing found, rather than proceeding.
- A sustained, verifiable record of clients withdrawing their full balances on demand, replacing the current pattern of blocked and shorted withdrawals.
- Removal of the misleading 'Secure and Regulated' and 'guaranteed withdrawal' claims, replaced with accurate disclosure of its unregulated status.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is WinproFx a scam?
The evidence points strongly to yes. It is unlicensed, its reviews are dominated by blocked and shorted withdrawals, and Indian cyber police are investigating the platform for fraud after arresting its administrator. We rate it a confirmed scam.
Is WinproFx regulated?
No. It holds no financial or forex licence from any recognised regulator. Its only registration is a Saint Lucia company incorporation number, which is not the same as regulation and provides no investor protection.
Can I withdraw my money from WinproFx?
Many users report that they cannot. Complaints describe withdrawals marked 'pending' that never arrive, balances wiped out, and payouts that come back far smaller than requested. Treat access to your funds as at serious risk.
Is my money safe with WinproFx?
No. The broker itself states it does not guarantee segregated client funds or deposit insurance. With no regulator behind it and an active fraud investigation, deposits should be considered unsafe.
Who is behind WinproFx?
The operating entity is WINPROFX Limited, registered in Saint Lucia (No. 2023-00197) with a P.O. Box in Castries, while its contact details point to Dubai. Indian police have arrested a person they describe as the platform's developer and administrator.
How old is WinproFx?
It is young. The winprofx.com domain was registered in May 2023 and the company was registered in 2023, so the operation is only about three years old.
What is the Saint Lucia registration 2023-00197 worth for my protection?
Very little. It is a company registration, not a forex or financial licence. Saint Lucia, like several offshore jurisdictions, does not license or supervise forex brokers, so there are no conduct rules and no protection for retail clients.
Is WinproFx a clone of a well-known broker?
No. It is an original offshore brand rather than an impersonation of a licensed firm. That does not make it safer; it simply means the risk comes from the operation itself, not from stolen credentials.
Is WinproFx under investigation?
Yes. Gujarat Cyber Crime Police in India have opened a fraud investigation and arrested the platform's administrator, alleging fake profits, blocked withdrawals and mule accounts affecting a very large number of users.
What is the free 100 dollar bonus or webinar reward about?
Many recent complaints describe a promotion promising a 100 dollar credit for completing steps such as KYC and watching a webinar, which was then not paid. Offers like this are commonly used to attract deposits and drive referrals.
What should I do if I already deposited with WinproFx?
Stop depositing, request a full withdrawal in writing, and keep all records. Report the matter to your local police cyber cell or regulator, and ask your bank about recalling a transfer or a card chargeback. Preserve any crypto transaction details.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Confirm a licence on the regulator's own public register, check that the licensed entity and website match, read independent reviews for withdrawal complaints, and be sceptical of guaranteed returns or bonus pressure. If a broker only holds an offshore company registration, treat it as unregulated.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat WinproFx as unsafe.
- Do not deposit any money, and ignore promotional offers such as free bonus credits or webinar rewards used to pull people in.
- If you already deposited, stop adding funds, attempt a full withdrawal in writing, and keep records of every request and response.
- Report it to your local police cyber cell or financial regulator, and if you paid by card or bank transfer ask your bank about a chargeback or recall. If you paid in crypto, preserve the wallet addresses and transaction IDs.
- Be wary of recovery scams that promise to get your money back for an upfront fee. They target victims of platforms like this.
