Additionally, the IM Markets official website mentions that its affiliated companies, IM Markets PTY LTD, is regulated or authorized by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Still, results show that the Authorized Representative (AR) license held by IM Markets PTY LTD under ASIC has been canceled. Moreover, the Money Services Business (MSB) licenses registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the United States and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) are authentic, but both FinCEN and FINTRAC are regulatory bodies for anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing, not forex brokers.

Conclusion:
There are suspicions of fraud associated with IM Markets. While registration information appears to be legitimate, queries on the SVGFSA and NFA websites raise concerns about the company's regulatory status.
Moreover, the cancellation of the AR license for IM Markets PTY LTD under ASIC, combined with the limited regulatory scope of FinCEN and FINTRAC, raises suspicions. Based on these findings, investors are advised to exercise caution when considering the services provided by IM Markets. TraderKnows reminds you to be vigilant about the security of your assets and to avoid falling into fraudulent traps.
