Unfortunately, fraud is prevalent in the trading industry. At HYCM we take fraud prevention very seriously; we have some pointers on how to protect yourself online and ensure a secure trading experience with us:
Phishing scams
Fraudsters may try to obtain your personal information by impersonating a trusted company. Watch out for suspicious sites that are similar to HYCM's official domains (hycm.com, hycm.co.uk) but contain improper formatting or spelling mistakes.
Email Spoofing
Email spoofing occurs when a fraudster sends an email that appears to come from a trusted source, such as HYCM or another legitimate organization but is actually sent by an unauthorized party. These emails are designed to mislead recipients into sharing sensitive information or taking actions that could compromise their security.
Spoofed emails may:
- Use email addresses that look similar to our official domains but contain slight variations
- Request confidential information such as account details, passwords, or payment instructions
- Create urgency or pressure you to act quickly
- Contain unexpected links or attachments
What you should do
If you receive an email that appears suspicious or claims to be from HYCM:
- Do not click on any links or open attachments
- Do not reply or share any personal or financial information
- Contact HYCM directly using the official contact details on our website
- Report the email to our support team for investigation
Secure browsing
Always check that the websites you visit are https://secured. The HYCM pages you're visiting should be one of the following domains:
Disclosing data
Never give out your personal or financial account information or password via telephone, social media platforms or email. Be cautious of unsolicited contact; always cross-check this with our company details. Reputable companies will never request your personal account or payment information.
Viruses and malware
Do not download files or programs from unknown sources.
Payment requests
Never transfer money to a bank account at the request of a person who claims to be acting on behalf of HYCM. Our official payment details are available on our website and you should only do business via our official domains.
