3-Step Official Domain & Counterparty Hygiene Checklist
Standard operating procedure for verifying online brokerage portals and API endpoints.
Inspect Registrable Root Domain
Ignore marketing subdomains or paths and verify that the exact registrable root domain (sctrade.com) appears character-for-character on the issuing regulator's public register entry.
Validate Footer Licence Numbers
Copy every regulatory licence number displayed in the website footer of sctrade.com and verify that the licensed entity owns this specific domain rather than a victim institution being impersonated.
Confirm Segregated Wire Beneficiary
Never wire margin funds to third-party payment agents or unverified crypto wallet addresses presented on a web portal unless the beneficiary legal name matches the regulated entity on file.

How do clone firms spoof legitimate broker domains like sctrade.com?

Always compare the exact registrable host (sctrade.com) character-for-character against the domain printed on the regulator's public register.
