IG Safety & Scam Check: Frequently Asked Questions
Four intent-specific due diligence questions answered from primary dataset records.
Is IG legit or a scam? What does the 6D safety audit show?
IG carries a "Risk level not supplied" classification in our dataset with a composite 6D score of 8.0/10 (Risk & Licensing score: 8.0/10), 4 active regulated licence(s), and 0 recorded warning/exposure flag(s).

How can I check if ig.com is IG's authentic domain or a clone firm?
You can run a real-time cryptographic domain check at /verify/domain/ig.com to verify whether ig.com is bound to IG's regulatory filings and whether any financial authority (such as the FCA, ASIC, MAS, or CySEC) has published a clone-firm warning against it.
How many regulatory warnings and client complaints are recorded for IG?
Our dataset tracks 0 warning/exposure count(s), 0 translated formal complaint case(s) in this slice, and 0 user reputation record(s) for IG. Review the complaint forensics table above to inspect any withdrawal or execution dispute patterns.
Are client funds at IG protected by segregated trust accounts and investor compensation?
Without an active Tier-1 onshore regulated subsidiary on file for IG, statutory investor compensation schemes (such as FSCS, ICF, or SIPC) generally do not apply. Confirm bank custody ring-fencing directly before depositing.
