Some fraudsters behind scam Forex/CFD brokers seem to be entirely devoid of creativity. As a result, they have no choice but to repeatedly clone websites and make the same worn-out promises of access to the most popular trading instruments, intuitive trading platforms, and optimal trading conditions. In this AlpineVistaWealth review, we discuss one such project. For those interested in the details, our analysis of the platform follows.

Alpinevistawealth.com Examination
When we first encountered the official website of AlpineVistaWealth, we didn’t even feel the need to commend the developers. In fact, we began to doubt if the company has any developers at all. The truth is, alpinevistawealth.com looks like a near-identical copy of at least a dozen other scam broker websites that circulate online.
This resemblance isn’t limited to just the page design. Even the content was barely changed by the project’s owners, repeating almost all the common flaws found on the “twin” websites of this broker. Here’s what we found:
- The company’s modest self-proclamation as a leader in online brokerage services is still there. However, there’s no financial reporting or statistics to support this claim.
- The Market Overview section is traditionally filled with random TradingView widgets in a chaotic manner. This information dump does nothing to help traders but does give the illusion that the broker is diligently working on the content.
- On the platform description page, instead of providing real platform specifications, it’s filled with numerous promotional slogans. Oddly, near the bottom of the page, they even mention the MT4 Margin Webtrader. Furthermore, accounts in the client area are labeled as MT4. Did the broker mean that their software is provided by MetaQuotes? There’s no clear answer in the texts, but we know for sure that this program has nothing to do with the popular MetaTrader 4 terminal.
Such issues are found on practically every page of the website. However, it’s clear that the creators of AlpineVistaWealth made no effort to correct them, nor did they bother to remove the copy-protection feature. Judging by the number of clones online, this feature only protects the site from visitors who may want to quote this “masterpiece.”
Company Contacts
The contact information is perhaps the only thing the AlpineVistaWealth team has adjusted. The Help Center page includes:
- A contact form.
- An email address for customer support.
- A phone number registered in the UK.
A bit more information can be found in the footer of the pages. Here, traders can find:
- The company’s name and address in Saint Lucia, along with its registration number.
- Another phone number with a Swiss dialing code.
Of course, we are quite curious as to why a company based in Saint Lucia has phone numbers from both the UK and Switzerland. We also have a few other questions for the broker:
- Why isn’t there an online chat option on the website? It seems the company is not particularly interested in providing prompt support to traders. Some might argue that phone numbers are available, but we were unable to get through on them.
- Why doesn’t the company provide links to its social media pages? It’s hard to believe that a legitimate broker would ignore such a large potential audience. More likely, AlpineVistaWealth either lacks the desire, resources, or funds to create and maintain active social media groups. Another possibility is that the company prefers working only with those who are invited via phone conversations by its sales managers.
In conclusion, this firm is hardly different from other scam brokers. The limited contact options with support do not speak well of the platform.
Key Conditions
The trading conditions offered by AlpineVistaWealth differ slightly from the typical bare-bones features seen with scammers. At the very least, the list of account types includes more than just the minimum deposit amount. The broker also publishes:
- Maximum leverage.
- StopOut level.
- Monthly trading volume limit.
The company offers six account tiers:
- Basic. Minimum deposit of €10,000, leverage up to 1:20.
- Advanced. Minimum deposit of €25,000, leverage up to 1:40.
- Platinum. Minimum deposit of €100,000, leverage up to 1:100.
- Expert. Minimum deposit of €250,000, leverage up to 1:200.
- VIP. Minimum deposit of €500,000, leverage up to 1:400.
- Professional. Minimum deposit of €2,000,000, leverage up to 1:1000.
The table of account types also includes some rather unusual offers. For example, the broker promises fixed dividends for account holders starting from the Advanced tier. It’s great when a company is eager to share its profits, but it’s unclear why these payments are fixed. On what basis does the broker distribute these dividends if it cannot even use its clients’ deposits for its own benefit?
The non-trading offers are equally generous. For instance, with the Advanced account, traders are entitled to one trading session with an analyst per month and a detailed account report every two months — after depositing at least €25,000.
In short, AlpineVistaWealth clearly shows that it has little concern for its clients’ interests. Its main goal is for them to bring in money. As for what happens next, the scammers already know exactly what to do.
Exposing AlpineVistaWealth
For experienced traders, it’s quite obvious that this broker was created by scammers. However, newcomers invited by AlpineVistaWealth staff are unlikely to recognize a scam based on the previously mentioned signs. They certainly need more concrete evidence to see that the company cannot be trusted.
The first point to discuss is the broker’s official registration. In the footer of its pages, the broker states that the trading name AlpineVistaWealth belongs to Duke Group LTD, registered in Saint Lucia as an International Business Company (IBC) under number 2024-00446. This information is indeed confirmed by databases.
However, there is no evidence in these databases to suggest that the broker is owned by this company. This is precisely where doubts arise. For instance, we could easily find an officially registered company in this offshore jurisdiction and claim it owns a broker.
We have every reason to be skeptical. Some of these reasons have already been mentioned: a company with an address in Saint Lucia only provides phone numbers in the UK and Switzerland. At the same time, in the Terms & Conditions, the company claims that all disputes are handled in accordance with the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Isn’t it strange to resolve such issues outside the country of registration? This leads us to believe that Duke Group LTD is just a convenient cover for AlpineVistaWealth, which itself has no official registration.
As for licenses, the situation is even worse. First, Saint Lucia does not issue brokerage licenses. Such activities are regulated by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), which has never heard of Duke Group LTD or AlpineVistaWealth. Second, to operate in the UK, Switzerland, and EU countries (the broker’s target audience), it must have licenses from local regulators. Needless to say, none of them know about this broker either.
So, the company’s official registration is clearly questionable, and it operates without regulatory licenses. We are confident that the firm is merely virtual and conducts illegal activities.
Additionally, the domain alpinevistawealth.com, according to the Whois service, was only registered in August 2024. This means that by the time of writing this review, the broker has been in existence for about two months.
We would not trust a broker of dubious origin that has only been around for two months. The likelihood that we are dealing with scammers is close to 100%.
Before we had time to publish the review, the broker’s website became inaccessible. Well, we didn’t have to wait long for a new one. Now the company is working on the website https://alpvw.com/ and there is nothing new on the new domain, so this is just a transfer to avoid reputational or more significant losses.
What Reviews Do Users Leave?
It’s hard to expect many AlpineVistaWealth reviews to appear online after just a couple of months. However, some publications about it have surfaced. The picture is mixed.
On Trustpilot, for example, 9 out of 10 authors praise the broker, rating it 4 or 5 stars out of 5. It seems the company paid well for these reviews. However, the posts are vague and don’t contain any concrete details.
On specialized forums, the overall impression is quite the opposite. Experts take a realistic look at the company’s official data and its offerings. As a result, their assessments are almost unanimous: AlpineVistaWealth is a scam broker whose sole purpose is fraud. Naturally, they all recommend avoiding any cooperation with this platform.
Conclusions
Our AlpineVistaWealth review aimed to highlight all the problems with this company. We pointed out its dubious registration, the fact that it operates without a license and illegally, and that it has only existed for two months. Moreover, its trading conditions are far from transparent or attractive, its contact details seem fake, and its official website is poorly designed. Clearly, dealing with such a firm is irrational, let alone depositing funds into accounts opened on this platform.
Pros/Cons
- A variety of trading accounts.
- The company’s official registration, claiming to offer these services, is confirmed, but it’s highly doubtful whether it is genuinely connected to the broker.
- The company has no broker/dealer license, so its activities are illegal.
- The platform has only existed for two months.
- Trading conditions are not fully transparent, and the provided data, such as the maximum leverage of up to 1:1000, indicates the company’s disregard for regulatory requirements.
- It’s impossible to fund the trading account independently; clients are instructed to contact customer support for deposit options.
Never deal with these scammers from Alpinevistawealth! I should have checked the company’s reputation right away, which could have saved me from losses. I transferred a substantial sum of €30,000 for trading, expecting a corresponding level of service, but I encountered an utterly dysfunctional terminal with slippage and requotes. When I realized this, I tried to withdraw my money, but none of my requests were approved, and later, my account was even blocked! It’s not pleasant to go through such an experience.
