FT Group

Verdict

Do not engage with FT Group at ft-group.co or send it money or personal information. The supplied evidence includes an FCA warning naming this entity and domain. Verify any claimed authorisation directly with the FCA. If you have already paid, contact your bank immediately and report the matter to the relevant authorities.

Findings

• ⚠ GLEIF: a company named "FT GROUP HOLDING ApS" (9845005C60I2C7554527) exists in the register, but no matching registration number was provided by the user and the target website was not verified to reference this exact entity. Scammers commonly appropriate the names of legitimate companies — sometimes with a one-letter difference — to appear credible. Treat this as unverified.
• Chainabuse: no community scam reports against ft-group.co.
• WHOIS/RDAP: registration date for ft-group.co is not available from the registry (RDAP lookup failed (rdap.org 403; no registry RDAP service found for this TLD)). Domain age cannot be authoritatively established — third-party claims about how long the domain has existed are not relied upon.
• GLEIF (DK) — FOUND (name match only — unverified): FT GROUP HOLDING ApS · ACTIVE · 9845005C60I2C7554527 · registered 2020-04-09
• OpenSanctions: no matching entities in global sanctions/PEP/warning lists.
• Trustpilot — FOUND (2.8/5 · 100 reviews): https://www.trustpilot.com/review/ft-group.co
• Sitejabber — lookup failed (scrape failed).
• ScamAdviser — FOUND (trust 66/100 · Medium Risk): https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/ft-group.co
• IPQualityScore — lookup failed (Invalid or unauthorized key. Please check the API key and try again. (EID: 61771)).
• Highest-priority finding: the supplied live search results contain an official FCA Warning List page explicitly naming FT Group / ft-group.co. This exact-domain regulatory warning warrants a RED verdict.
• The automated FCA scrape reported no match, contradicting the exact-name and exact-domain official warning page. The specific official warning takes precedence over the scrape's negative result.
• Trustpilot reports 2.8/5 from 100 reviews. The supplied review excerpts contain allegations of fraud and scams concerning this domain. These are customer allegations, not independently established findings of criminal conduct.
• ScamAdviser reports 66/100 and 'Medium Risk'. This is not the specified high-risk trigger and provides no positive legitimacy weight.
• Domain registration date is not available from authoritative WHOIS/RDAP and third-party claims of domain age are not relied upon. Registration date and registrar remain empty; ageInMonths is 0 to represent unknown, not a newly registered domain.
• Corporate identity remains unverified. The similarly named Danish GLEIF entity is not demonstrably connected to this domain. The UK Companies House PSC request failed with search 400, so it does not establish the absence of beneficial owners or company registration.
• Google Safe Browsing failed with error 400; malware and phishing status therefore remains unknown, not clean.
• Chainabuse returned no community reports and OpenSanctions returned no matching entities. These results do not negate the FCA warning.
• The supplied FATF country check returned not listed; this is not evidence of the company's authorisation.
• No phone number, company identification number or address was supplied, preventing corresponding identity and physical-location checks.
• Assessment uses the supplied API evidence and live search excerpts. No additional live searches or WHOIS queries were performed.
