As an important global offshore financial hub, relying on a free capital flow environment and an internationally aligned regulatory system, it gathers a large number of licensed and quasi-forex financial institutions from home and abroad, and is one of the core agglomeration centers for forex trading in the Asia-Pacific region. To help investors or practitioners more comprehensively understand the forex dealers in the region, the field inspection team traveled to Hong Kong, China for an on-site visit.

Process

In this issue, the on-site inspection team went to Hong Kong, China as planned to conduct an on-site visit to forex broker CENTRAL. According to publicly available information, its office address is Rooms 1505-1508, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

They conducted an on-site verification of the broker CENTRAL, which claimed to be located in Rooms 1505-1508, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

The team successfully arrived at the Two Exchange Square building. The location is in the core financial district of Central, closely surrounded by the headquarters of multiple international financial institutions, with a very strong commercial atmosphere. The building's exterior is impressive and well-ordered. The team captured a complete panoramic view of the building. However, no company signage or related information bearing the name CENTRAL was found on the exterior of the building.

The team successfully entered the building lobby, explained their purpose to security, completed visitor registration, and obtained permission to access the floors.

After arriving at the target 15th floor, the team located the area corresponding to Rooms 1505-1508. There were no obvious signs related to CENTRAL in this office area; it was neither a shared office nor did it have any access entrance open to the public. They were unable to photograph the company's reception desk or the reception desk logo.

The team asked the on-site property staff about the companies occupying the area, and then specifically verified with the building security. Security clearly stated that no company named CENTRAL was a tenant in the entire building. Throughout the process, they did not obtain permission to enter the interior of the office area and could not inspect the internal office environment of the so-called CENTRAL.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it is confirmed that broker CENTRAL does not exist at the above address.
