The Financial Commission Warns of Website Mimicking Dispute Resolution Services

The Financial Commission, a leading external dispute resolution (EDR) organization serving the global financial services industry, is issuing a public warning regarding a website (https://fdrc.org.uk) that is falsely mimicking the Financial Commission’s services in order to legitimize unknown brokers, who are not members of the forum.

The website, operating under the name “Financial Dispute Resolution Commission” (FDRC), is attempting to mislead and defraud financial consumers by claiming to offer genuine dispute resolution services and certifications when, in reality, it provides no actual support or resolution.

Mimicry of Financial Commission Services

The FDRC has unlawfully used the Financial Commission’s legal name in its disclaimer (https://register.fdrc.org.uk/disclaimer/) and plagiarized several official press releases from the Financial Commission’s website, falsely presenting these as evidence of its services. The copied content includes outdated announcements that FDRC has no legitimate association with. This mimicry includes false claims of dispute resolution services and membership benefits which the FDRC is not authorized to provide or facilitate.

Examples of these plagiarized releases include:

• Financial Commission Welcomes Grand Capital as Latest Member Firm
• Financial Commission Certifies Binary Options Platform from Tools for Brokers Inc.
• Financial Commission Announces Forex Club as Latest Member Firm
• Financial Commission 2015 Annual Report

This unlawful impersonation goes beyond mere copyright infringement; it is a fraudulent attempt to trick users into believing they are engaging with an authorized dispute resolution entity. The FDRC has created a misleading structure on its website, resembling the original Financial Commission services, such as EDR offerings, membership benefits, and certifications, which they do not genuinely provide.
