ThinkMarkets warns of fraud website using its brand
ThinkMarkets, a global trading platform, has issued a serious fraud alert to its clients and potential traders, warning about a cloned website that is fraudulently using its brand to deceive unsuspecting users.
The fraudulent domain — m.thinkmarkes.com — closely resembles the official website but has no affiliation with ThinkMarkets and is actively engaged in scam activity.
According to a recent report, one trader lost over $25,000 after interacting with the fake site. The victim was charged a fabricated 10% withdrawal fee, followed by a 20% so-called “unfreeze” charge — classic tactics used by online fraudsters to extort money under false pretenses.
Company warning and signs of impersonation
In its official statement, ThinkMarkets emphasized that it never asks for advance payments to process withdrawals or unfreeze accounts. The company confirmed that its only legitimate domains are www.thinkmarkets.com and related regional subdomains. Even a small typo in the URL — such as “markes” instead of “markets” — should be considered a red flag.
Reports suggest that the scam site lures victims by showing fake trading dashboards with inflated account balances to gain their trust, only to demand "fees" later for accessing or withdrawing funds. ThinkMarkets strongly warns that any messages about refundable deposits or urgent payment requests are typical signs of a scam.
Precautionary measures and advice
Traders are strongly advised to stay vigilant: always verify website addresses, use only official links, and report any suspicious activity to ThinkMarkets’ support team immediately. The company reaffirmed that client security remains a top priority and that it is actively monitoring such threats.
This incident highlights the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals targeting the financial and trading sectors. ThinkMarkets urges the public to remain cautious and share this warning within the trading community to help prevent further losses.
It is worth noting that ThinkMarkets recently added Circle Internet Group (CRCL) stocks to its trading platform.
