This report is compiled based on a complaint published on June 25, 2025, in the section for claims against stores and services. According to user ooohaninvest, the platform JPB-Trade.com is a fraudulent project operating under the guise of a legitimate forex broker.

The author of the complaint details the mechanics of the fund misappropriation. Initially, he deposited $36,000 USD into the trading account and conducted active trading through the MetaTrader 5 terminal, managing to earn an additional $18,000. When the victim initiated the withdrawal procedure for the total amount of $54,000, the platform's strategy abruptly changed. According to user ooohaninvest, the support team switched to ignoring tactics, followed by an unjustified refusal to pay out. A critical violation was that part of the trading history was forcibly deleted directly from the MT5 terminal. This fact indicates that the project's administrators have full access to the servers and are openly manipulating trading account data.

An analysis of the platform's legitimacy confirms the fraudulent nature of its activities. The project's website states that services are provided by JPB Limited, allegedly registered in Saint Lucia under number 2024-00317. However, as user ooohaninvest rightly notes, this information cannot be confirmed through public sources. The presence of an offshore registration does not grant the company the right to conduct brokerage activities, while the project completely lacks a license from a financial regulator and transparent contact information.

The situation requires the attention of the trading community. The victim has initiated the collection of joint complaints to be sent to MetaQuotes (the developer of the MT5 terminal) and to the regulatory authorities of Saint Lucia with the aim of blocking the illegal use of the software. All investors are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this project, as the signs of fraud are confirmed by specific facts of interference with trading history and the refusal to process payouts.
