What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Emar Markets over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Emar Markets - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
Emar Markets, a forex and CFD broker, has faced several allegations, red flags, and adverse news over the years, which have raised concerns about its credibility and business practices. Below is a summary of the major issues and their potential impact on Emar Markets’ reputation:
Regulatory Concerns: Emar Markets has been accused of operating without proper regulatory oversight in certain jurisdictions. Regulatory compliance is critical in the financial services industry, and the absence of a reputable license can deter potential clients and harm the broker’s credibility.
Withdrawal Issues: Numerous clients have reported difficulties in withdrawing funds from their accounts. Delayed or denied withdrawals are a significant red flag, as they suggest potential liquidity problems or unethical practices, which can erode trust in the broker.
Misleading Advertising: Emar Markets has been criticized for making exaggerated claims about potential profits and downplaying the risks associated with trading. Such practices can mislead inexperienced traders and damage the broker’s reputation for transparency and fairness.
Negative Client Reviews: Online forums and review sites are filled with complaints from clients alleging poor customer service, platform malfunctions, and unfair trading conditions. These reviews can deter new clients and harm the broker’s public image.
Lack of Transparency: Emar Markets has been accused of not providing clear information about its ownership, management, and operational structure. This lack of transparency can raise suspicions about the broker’s legitimacy and intentions.
Aggressive Marketing Tactics: Some clients have reported being pressured into making deposits or trading beyond their comfort level. Aggressive sales tactics can alienate clients and create a negative perception of the broker’s ethical standards.
Why These Issues Harm Emar Markets’ Reputation:
Trust Erosion: Financial services rely heavily on trust. Allegations of withdrawal issues, misleading advertising, and lack of transparency can make clients and potential investors wary of engaging with the broker.
Legal and Regulatory Risks: Operating without proper licenses or facing regulatory scrutiny can lead to legal consequences, fines, or even shutdowns, further damaging the broker’s reputation.
Client Retention Challenges: Negative reviews and poor customer service can lead to client attrition, making it difficult for Emar Markets to retain its user base and grow its business.
Competitive Disadvantage: In a highly competitive industry, brokers with a tarnished reputation may struggle to attract clients compared to more reputable competitors.
Why Emar Markets Might Want These Stories Removed:
Emar Markets would likely want these stories removed to protect its brand image, attract new clients, and retain existing ones. Negative publicity can have a lasting impact on a company’s reputation, and removing such content could help the broker present itself as a trustworthy and reliable entity. However, attempting to remove or suppress negative information without addressing the underlying issues could backfire, as it may be perceived as an attempt to hide wrongdoing rather than resolve it.
In conclusion, Emar Markets faces significant reputational challenges due to regulatory concerns, client complaints, and unethical practices. Addressing these issues transparently and proactively is crucial for rebuilding trust and ensuring long-term success.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

Emar Markets is a fraud. They lure you in with big promises, but once you invest, they disappear. I tried contacting them multiple times, but no one ever replied.

I invested with Emar Markets, and it was the worst decision ever. They don’t explain anything clearly, and their platform is confusing.

Emar Markets is a complete scam. They promised high returns, but I lost all my money. Their customer service is terrible, and they never respond to complaints. Stay away from them if you don’t want to get ripped off. They are not trustworthy at all. I regret ever dealing with them

I applied for a withdrawal on August 2nd, and today is the 7th, but it’s still pending. They haven’t approved my request, and now the website isn’t opening. I can’t even log in to my account. This is extremely frustrating and concerning.

Be cautious when trading with EMAR Markets, especially for those new to the platform. I noticed potential market manipulation while trading XAUUSD on November 23, 2024. The market closed at USD 2705 at 04:45 UTC+8 on EMAR Markets, whereas my other brokers, HFM and XM, closed at USD 2716 and USD 2715, respectively—a glaring difference of 110 pips. I submitted a complaint immediately, but their Technical Support Team has yet to provide any explanation or resolution. This experience has been extremely disappointing.
