Veles International Limited presents itself as a Cyprus investment firm with CySEC authorisation CIF 075/06. Whether you would choose that firm is a separate question. What matters in recent complaints is a different move: strangers borrow the brand after a fake “bank bonus” or account-activation message, appoint a “personal analyst”, and walk the victim through deposits on a platform the real firm did not open for them.
One account described roughly a month of coaching, then a wrong-button trade story and a cascade of margin and delivery top-ups until six-figure losses piled up. That arc — urgency, painted positions, “fund now or the account collapses” — is the retail investment scam template, not ordinary brokerage. Contact often continues on secondary messengers rather than a verified firm domain.
Check any licence number on the CySEC site yourself, call only numbers published on the firm’s official site, and never move money because a PDF attachment told you an analyst was assigned. If the “broker” who phoned you cannot be reached through the switchboard on the regulator’s record, hang up. Money already sent to such a pitch should be reported through Get help; paid recovery cold-calls after the loss are usually round two.
If this already cost you money, start at Get help. Anyone selling a paid “recovery” after a loss: read Fake recovery first.
