前述

仁港永胜唐生提醒有意申请圣文森特的意向客户，必须明确了解以下资讯：在圣文森特和格林纳丁斯（SVG），你可以注册 Business Company（BC）/LLC 等公司来做“外汇/CFD 经纪商”主体，但就“外汇、差价合约（CFD）经纪业务”而言，SVG FSA 并没有提供一个类似 FCA/ASIC/CySEC 那种的“外汇/CFD 经纪商牌照（监管许可）”可供申请——FSA 也在官方公开声明中多次明确：不发放外汇/二元期权相关牌照，也不对从事该类业务的 IBC/BC/LLC 进行监管。

市场公告 - 2021年第1号警报 – 外汇交易或经纪或二元期权交易

圣文森特和格林纳丁斯金融服务管理局（FSA）特此发布以下警告：

FSA不发放任何经营外汇交易、经纪或二元期权交易的许可证，FSA也不“监管、监督、监督或许可”从事此类活动的国际商业公司（IBC）。

在圣文森特和格林纳丁斯注册的IBC被授权在未经FSA批准的情况下开展任何商业活动，除非拟议的业务活动涉及银行、保险或共同基金业务。银行、保险和共同基金业务都是持牌活动。圣文森特和格林纳丁斯没有任何主管机关颁发外汇或经纪商交易执照。

外汇交易或经纪是货币交易的活动。它指的是个人通过支付一定数量的另一种货币来购买一定数量的一种货币。交易者基本上是在对某一货币的未来汇率进行投机。外汇交易可以在世界任何地方进行，只需互联网连接。

FSA建议公众警惕外汇交易欺诈，即实体可能承诺通过投资外币合约提供高收益、低风险投资机会。这些交易可能是骗局，虽然看起来像是一种新型的高端投资机会，但实际上也可能是针对零售客户的金融欺诈。外汇诈骗通常听起来很吸引人且听起来很复杂，可能通过报纸、广播或互联网进行宣传。在大多数情况下，潜在客户被告知，他们只需几周或几个月就能获得数万美元，金额不多。

公众请注意以下外汇诈骗的警示信号：

• 那些听起来好得令人难以置信的承诺;
• 声称大多数客户都能赚钱;
• 主动来电，尤其是来自听起来陌生的公司公司，提供投资;
• 虚构客户的虚假成功故事;
• 如果你已经积累了大量现金并一直在寻找投资工具，尤其要小心;
• 高压的努力试图说服你通过互联网或隔夜送款立即汇款或转账给公司;
• 承诺风险极低：货币期货和期权市场实际上波动很大，风险也很大;
• 承诺固定回报，或承诺你可能损失的最大金额;
• 承诺赔偿你可能遭受的任何损失;以及
• 获取背景信息的困难。

建议公众不要投资自己无法承受损失的资产，确保了解所有流程和风险，并调查提供外汇投资的人是否持有合法执照且有良好商业记录。

FSA警告，这些公司必须披露涉及的风险信息以及客户协议中的重要细节，尤其是客户可能遭受的损失。

如果某实体未获得许可且不受监管，您将自行承担使用其服务的风险。未受监管的外汇交易或经纪及二元期权实体可能不受任何行为准则或其他明确禁止其发表误导性、虚假或欺骗性言论的监管法律约束。其所有者、董事和管理人员也不受FSA对受监管实体适用的“适任与适当”测试约束。

如果您认为自己遭受了外汇交易或二元期权实体的侵害，建议联系您所在司法管辖区的金融犯罪部门。

MARKET NOTICE - ALERT 1 of 2021 – Foreign Exchange (FOREX) Trading or Brokerage or Binary Options Trading

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority (FSA) hereby issues the following warning:

The FSA does not issue any licenses to carry on the business of FOREX Trading or Brokerage or Binary Options Trading nor does the FSA “Regulate, Monitor, Supervise or License” International Business Companies (IBCs) which engage in such activities.

IBCs incorporated in St. Vincent and the Grenadines are authorized to engage in any business activity without approval from the FSA, except where the proposed business activity relates to banking, insurance or mutual fund businesses. Banking, insurance and mutual fund businesses are licensed activities. FOREX or Brokers Trading licenses are not issued by any authority in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Forex Trading or Brokerage is the activity of trading in currencies. It involves a person purchasing a certain quantity of one currency by paying in a quantity of another currency. The trader is basically speculating on the future rate of a particular currency. Forex Trading can be done from anywhere in the world with only an Internet connection required.

The FSA advises the public to beware of FOREX currency trading frauds, where an entity may promise to offer high yield, low risk investment opportunities from investments in foreign currency contracts. These deals may be scams and although they may look like a new sophisticated form of investment opportunity, they may be a form of financial fraud which targets retail customers. Forex scams are normally attractive and sophisticated sounding and may be advertised via newspapers, radio promotions, or the Internet. In most cases, potential clients are told that they will obtain tens of thousands of dollars in as little as a few weeks or months with small sums.

Members of the public are asked to note the following warning signs of a Forex scam:

• Promises that sound too good to be true;
• Claims that most customers make money;
• Unsolicited phone calls offering investments especially from unfamiliar sounding company names;
• Phony success stories from fictional customers;
• Be especially cautious if you have acquired a large sum of cash and have been looking for an investment vehicle;
• High pressure efforts to convince you to send or transfer cash immediately to the firm whether via the Internet or over-night delivery;
• Promises of minimal risks: currency futures and options markets are in fact very volatile and carry substantial risks;
• Promises of a fixed return, or promises of a maximum amount that you can lose;
• Promises to recover any loss you may suffer; and
• Difficulty in getting background information.

The public is advised not to invest what one cannot afford to lose and to ensure that you understand all the procedures and risks and to investigate to ensure that the person offering the forex investment is properly licensed and has a reputable business history.

The FSA warns that these companies must disclose information on the risks involved and the pertinent details of the client agreement particularly on the possibilities of loss to the client.

If an entity is unlicensed and unregulated, you will be using its services at your own risk. Unregulated FOREX Trading or Brokerage and Binary Options entities may not be subject to any code of practice or other regulatory law that expressly prohibits the business from making statements that are misleading, false or deceptive. Neither are their owners, directors and managers subject to the “fit and proper” test applied by the FSA to regulated entities.

If you believe that you have been victimized by a Forex Trading or Binary Options Trading entity, it is advised that you contact the financial crime authorities in your jurisdiction.
