Conclusion:
Lightmarkets is suspected of fraudulent activity. Firstly, the Lightmarkets website shows that it is registered and established in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, but searches on the SVGFSA and CIPO websites did not yield any registration information for the company. Secondly, while the Lightmarkets website claims to be authorized or regulated by the SVGFSA, the SVGFSA does not regulate Business Companies engaged in forex trading or brokerage business. Based on these findings, Lightmarkets is suspected of fraudulent activity, and investors are advised to exercise caution when considering the services offered by this company. TraderKnows reminds you to be vigilant about your financial security and avoid falling into fraudulent traps.
