NYC MARKETS has been flagged on the SARFund registry as a reported fake forex broker. Victim submissions describe a familiar pattern: an initial small deposit that “performs”, followed by escalating top-ups and a final wall when withdrawal is requested.

Across the verified submissions, three red flags repeat: the broker operated through impersonated KYC documents, required upfront deposits routed through obscure custodial wallets, and demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal. None of these are unique to NYC MARKETS — they are the structural fingerprint of this scam typology.

Channels through which NYC MARKETS has been reported include Quora question threads, direct victim submissions through SARFund, and Google Search complaints. SARFund cross-references new submissions against existing reports before adding evidence to the case file.

What evidence helps most

Transaction hashes (the on-chain proof of your deposit), screenshots of the broker dashboard, KYC documents you submitted, and full conversation history with any account manager. These four pieces let the partner build a defensible chain of custody.

Why the recovery partner is masked

Listing the partner publicly creates two problems: it tips off perpetrators, who then accelerate fund-laundering, and it invites recovery-scam impersonators to clone the partner brand. Both happen often enough that masking is the only defensible default.
