The FCA went on to note that
Almost all firms and individuals offering, promoting or selling financial services or products in the UK have to be authorised by us.
However, some firms act without our authorisation and some knowingly run investment scams.
AG Capitals is not authorised by us and is targeting people in the UK to invest in binary options and other investment products. Based upon information we hold, we believe it is carrying on regulated activities which require authorisation.
The marketing and sale of binary options to retail consumers is now banned. If you are offered binary options, it is probably a scam. Please see our Scamsmart page on Binary Options.
