Reasons for Field Survey

The Japanese foreign exchange market is one of the world's most important forex trading markets, boasting a long history, a mature financial system, and strict regulatory mechanisms. It holds a crucial position in the global forex market. With numerous participants and high trading activity, it is subject to strict oversight by regulatory agencies such as the Financial Services Agency of Japan, ensuring the market's standardized operation. To help investors gain a more comprehensive understanding of the actual operations of forex dealers in the region, the field research team conducted an on-site visit to Japan.

Field Survey Process

This time, the inspection team traveled to Japan as planned to conduct an on-site visit to the forex broker CFA. Publicly available information indicates its office address is Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. With a strong sense of responsibility for ensuring investor safety, the professional and experienced inspection team meticulously mapped out the address's location, transportation routes, and surrounding landmarks, developing a thorough inspection plan. Based on the publicly available address information, they then conducted a comprehensive on-site inspection of CFA.

Based on the address information, the inspection team traveled to Tokyo's Roppongi district. The target address, Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, is a highly representative, ultra-luxury office building and a landmark in the area. Upon arrival, the inspection team conducted a thorough exterior inspection. Due to the lack of obstructions, the view was unobstructed, allowing for panoramic photos capturing the building's overall appearance, architectural details, and surroundings. However, after a thorough inspection of the building's facade, entrance signs, and surrounding billboards, no CFA name or logo was found. or related business information.

The surveyors then entered the first-floor lobby through the building's main entrance. The lobby's overall decor was simple and elegant, exuding a high-end business atmosphere. Professional security and service personnel were on site. After explaining their purpose for verifying the foreign exchange broker's business operations to the staff, the surveyors began their inspection in the lobby's public areas. During this inspection, they focused on the electronic floor guides and physical floor signs in the lobby, verifying the occupancy information for each floor and institution. After repeated verification, they found that none of the listed occupants contained the name of CFA, nor did they have any abbreviations, affiliated companies, or office area numbers associated with the broker.

The surveyors had planned to further verify CFA's office location by visiting a specific floor not clearly listed in the public information. However, upon contacting building staff regarding access, they learned that the building has a strict security management system. All personnel visiting non-public floors must make an appointment in advance with the occupant institution and register with a valid ID before gaining access. Because the survey team had not contacted CFA in advance, they were not immediately cleared of the location. After contacting and making an appointment, we were unable to meet the building's access requirements and ultimately were unable to enter any office floors. We were also unable to confirm whether CFA has an office area within the building or its specific location.

Since we were unable to gain access to the floors, we were unable to enter CFA's office space or photograph its reception desk or logo from the outside. Based on the building's management regulations, floor layout, and the types of organizations resident, the address does not conform to the characteristics of a shared office, clearly indicating that it is not a shared office space. Furthermore, although we were unable to enter the office, given the high-end positioning of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, the preponderance of internationally renowned companies, and the descriptions of CFA's office environment in public information, we can infer that if a real office space exists, the interior decoration is likely to meet luxurious standards. However, this assumption cannot be verified through on-site observation.

Based on the above on-site observations, the publicly available information shows no signs of CFA's presence or business operations within the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, either on floor signs or external signage.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, we confirmed that the transaction was CFA does not exist at the above address.
