Regulatory Information and Authenticity
The official website claims it is authorized by multiple regulatory bodies, including:
However, investigation revealed:
U.S. Financial Services Commission (FSC): The United States does not have an official financial regulatory body named the "Financial Services Commission". Based on other information from the website, this broker might be referring to the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC).
However, the Mauritius Companies and Business Registration Department website shows a company with registration number 138949 as NoDo (Mauritius) Ltd, which has not been granted a financial license by the FSC.
Additionally, no regulatory authorization for Equityzonestakes Pty Ltd or a license with the number GB13724991 could be found on the Mauritius FSC website.
EU Business Regulatory: No registration information for Equityzonestakes Ltd was found on the European Business Registry Network, nor did a company with registration number 586/18 exist.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC): The ASIC website shows that the number 254963 AFSL license actually belongs to GO MARKETS PTY LTD.

Contact Details and Social Media
Although the official website displays icons for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, no related accounts have actually been opened.
Conclusion
Despite the Equityzonestakes website being filled with misleading information to enhance its brand, actual investigations indicate that the company lacks any real operational entity and regulatory authorization, and the information displayed on the site is fraught with contradictions and fabrications.
