Reasons for Field Survey

Hong Kong, being an international financial center, is home to one of the most significant forex markets globally. Characterized by high internationalization, active trading, and strict regulation, it holds a pivotal position in global forex trading. To assist investors in gaining a comprehensive and precise understanding of forex brokers in this region, the surveyors conducted field surveys in Hong Kong.

Field Survey Process

The field survey team for this period went to Hong Kong as planned for an on-site inspection of the forex broker EP GOLD. According to public information, its office is located at Shop No. S195, 2/F, Capitol Centre, 61-65 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

The professional and experienced field survey team, with a sense of mission to strictly monitor for investors, followed a detailed plan and went to Hong Kong. An on-site visit to the broker EP GOLD was carried out based on the above information.

The surveyors, according to the address information, went to the Tsim Sha Tsui area of Hong Kong and conducted an on-the-ground check of the broker EP GOLD, who claims to be located at Shop No. S195, 2/F, Capitol Centre, 61-65 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

The surveyors successfully arrived at Capitol Centre, the supposed location of EP GOLD. Missing its promising name, it turned out to be a nearly bankrupt mall. Here, in the core area of Tsim Sha Tsui, the business atmosphere is very bleak and the environment is just average. The disordered layout and run-down appearance of the mall made it impossible for the surveyors to take a complete picture of the building. No markings or related information of EP GOLD were found.

The surveyors entered the lobby of the mall. The lobby was old and dimly lit. The surveyors carefully checked the sign in the lobby but did not find the company name of EP GOLD, making them greatly doubt whether the company was operating here.

The surveyors were able to get to the 2nd floor and accurately confirm the specific location of Shop No. S195. However, there was a total absence of EP GOLD's logo throughout the mall, and there was no chance to take a picture of the front desk and its logo. Upon learning, this place was not a shared office. The small shops on the 2nd floor were the only ones selling audio equipment and mobile phone accessories; the rest were vacant. Shop No. S195 was closed, empty, and small, showing no signs of EP GOLD. This survey experience is enough to prove that the company does not exist at this address, and the address it claims is likely to be temporarily compiled.

Therefore, after the field survey, it was confirmed that the broker EP GOLD does not exist at the above address. 

Field Survey Summary

The broker's company name and other information were not found at its publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a real place of business. Investors are advised to make decisions after comprehensive consideration.
