Combatting Offshore Name Spoofing: How to Verify the Authentic FoundersXTrade
Published by FoundersTrade Press Team

The Threat of Name Spoofing
As FoundersXTrade continues to set the standard for pro-grade electronic brokerage, malicious offshore entities and unregulated CFD brokers have attempted to "spoof" our brand. By using variations of the name "Xtrade" or similar domain strings, these scammers attempt to confuse U.S. investors.
Do not be fooled by unregulated imitators. The authentic FoundersXTrade operates exclusively at foundersxtrade.com.
How to Verify the Authentic FoundersXTrade
- Check the URL and SSL Certificate: Always ensure you are navigating to
https://foundersxtrade.com. We utilize enterprise-grade TLS 1.3 cryptographic tunneling to secure all connections. - Verify our FINRA CRD Number: The authentic FoundersXTrade operates in partnership with Founders Financial Securities LLC. Our official FINRA Central Registration Depository (CRD) number is 137945.
- Confirm U.S. Custody: If a platform claiming to be "Xtrade" asks you to deposit funds into an offshore bank account or unregulated crypto wallet, it is a scam. The authentic FoundersXTrade utilizes Axos Clearing LLC and U.S. FDIC-insured partner banks.
By remaining vigilant and relying on official regulatory databases, you can protect your capital and trade with confidence on the authentic FoundersXTrade platform.
