Verdict up front: Aventis Markets Limited (aventismarkets.com) calls itself the “Official Diamond Sponsor” of Forex Expo Dubai 2026 and says it won “Best Fintech AI Solution” there. New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority warned about it on 3 March 2026. The domain was registered on 14 April 2026 — under six months ago.

An award is not a licence
Trade shows sell sponsorship packages to anyone who pays, and expo “awards” are often part of the package. A booth and a trophy say nothing about whether a broker is allowed to take your money. The regulator that looked at Aventis Markets issued a warning.

USD 4,990 to meet the team
A poster on the homepage asks visitors to “fund your trading account with USD 4,990” between 1 July and 15 August 2026 for a chance to meet the team at booth 22, with flights and hotel promised. Tying a travel prize to a deposit is a sales tactic, not an investment.

PRB Securities Review: Fund-Safety Warning, Regulation Concerns
A UK mobile number
The main contact number is a UK mobile, beside a Swiss number. The site also promotes a coming “prop fund” and its own app. None of it names a regulator, a licence number or a registered address you can check.
Warned before the domain existed
The FMA warning came in March; this domain was registered in April. The brand is older than the site — a common pattern when a firm moves addresses after warnings.
⚠ Verified evidence
- FMA New Zealand warning, 3 March 2026.
- Deposit-linked offer of USD 4,990 for an expo trip.
- Expo “award” and “sponsor” claims in place of a licence.
- UK mobile as the main contact number.
How to check
Search the firm’s exact name and web address on the register of the regulator in your own country, and on IOSCO’s I-SCAN list. A real broker shows a licence number you can look up in under a minute — and the regulator’s own register links back to the broker’s real website.
What to do if you paid Aventis Markets
- Stop sending money — no “tax”, “release fee” or “upgrade” will unlock a withdrawal.
- Keep every record: receipts, wallet addresses, emails and chat screenshots.
- Call your bank or card issuer today and ask about a chargeback or recall.
- Report it to the regulator that issued the warning and to your local police.
- Ignore anyone who offers to recover the money for an upfront fee.
The verdict: Aventis Markets sells sponsorship badges instead of showing a licence, and a regulator has warned about it. Do not deposit.
