What Happens If My Account Is Flagged for Suspicious IP Activity?

🌐 IP Policy & Suspicious Activity

Updated over a month ago

At OnlyFundsFX, we are committed to maintaining a secure and fair trading environment. As part of our compliance and anti-fraud measures, we actively monitor IP address activity to detect unusual patterns or potential violations of our usage policies.
​


🚩 What Is Considered Suspicious IP Activity?

Your account may be flagged for review under the following circumstances:

  • More than five unique IP addresses are detected accessing the same account in a short timeframe.

  • Frequent switching between locations that are geographically distant within unrealistic time frames.

  • Logging in or trading from restricted or OFAC-sanctioned countries, which violates our Terms of Service and international compliance laws.
    ​


πŸ“ What Are OFAC-Sanctioned Locations?

OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) restricts transactions and access from specific countries due to international sanctions. These typically include:

  • North Korea

  • Iran

  • Syria

  • Cuba

  • Russia

  • ...and other embargoed regions.

πŸ” Reminder: If you're traveling, always notify our team in advance via support so we can approve your temporary location change.
​


⚠ What Happens If You’re Flagged?

If suspicious IP activity is detected:

  1. Your account will be automatically flagged and reviewed by our risk team.

  2. During this time, trading may be temporarily suspended.

  3. If it is confirmed that access occurred from a restricted or fraudulent location:

    • Your account may be permanently suspended or terminated.

    • Any pending withdrawals will be placed on hold.

    • Profits may be forfeited, depending on the severity of the violation.
      ​


πŸ’¬ How to Avoid IP Issues

  • Use one consistent network or VPN with a static IP.

  • Avoid trading in public networks (airports, cafes) that frequently rotate IP addresses.

  • If you're planning to travel internationally, inform our support team at least 48 hours in advance.
    ​


πŸ›  Example:

If you log in from:

  • Colombia on Monday,

  • Germany on Tuesday,

  • Japan on Wednesday, ...without notifying our team, the system will detect a red flag due to the impossible travel timeline.

This could trigger an investigation and suspension of your account.
