Dukascopy Bank SA has warned traders and investors after identifying 18 fraudulent websites pretending to be its official platform.
According to the CFD broker, these clones are designed to trick users into sharing personal information and misrepresent the bank’s services. The move underlines the growing risk of online scams in the financial sector.
“These websites are not controlled and do not belong to Dukascopy Bank, Dukascopy Europe, Dukascopy Japan, or any other entity of Dukascopy Group,” the company said in a statement. “Do not trust the information on these sites, and never provide your personal data.”
Fraudsters Clone Dukascopy Across 18 Domains
In the latest warning, Dukascopy has identified fraudulent domains mimicking aspects of the bank’s official website, including:
http://dukascopynet.top http://dukascopy-net.top https://dukascopy.com.co https://dukascopy-node.app https://ko-dukascopy.com https://dukascopy-ku.com https://dukascopys.cyou https://dukascopybank-refundbusiness.com https://dukascopy-bank.metasaurus.ch https://dukascopy-bank.shotinvancouver.com https://dukascopy-refundapp.com https://digitaldukascopy.in https://dukascopygroupltd.com https://dukascopys.cfd https://dukascop.cyou https://dukascops.sbs https://dukascop.pics https://dukascop.myClone websites copy the branding, logos, and regulatory details of legitimate firms to create the appearance of authenticity. Their goal is to lure unsuspecting users into depositing funds or sharing sensitive data.
Unlike phishing emails, clone websites can appear fully functional, with fake trading platforms or registration forms that look genuine. This makes them particularly dangerous for retail investors.
Dukascopy’s Response
The bank is taking legal and technical measures to shut down these fraudulent domains. While enforcement can be challenging across multiple jurisdictions, Dukascopy urges its users to double-check URLs, use official links, and verify any communication claiming to be from the bank.
It is not the first time Dukascopy is cautioning traders against such clones. The company issued a warning about a fraudulent website operating under the domain https://www.dukascopys.top nearly two years ago.
Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
