I'd add a warning that in trying to search the company it brought up another one with a similar name in a similar area: https://www.forexbrokerz.com/brokers/richfield-capital-review

While the name is quite generic it's generally problematic for a lot of cases and normally isn't done (eg you probably wouldn't be able to register the name they're using anyway and I don't think their disclaimer mentions being part of another company).

If you can find nothing from them I'd either just leave ut or experiment with a little bit of funds on their platform.

You might be able to post them your email address and phone number to their address registered in Switzerland to see if they're traceable if they aren't legit (assuming you need identity information to even rent a PO BOX in most places).

All three alleged offices seem to be located at rental office spaces, which doesn’t say much, except for the fact that you can try to contact the directory service of the building of any of the addresses where the offices are allegedly hosting the company.

I’ve done this in the past, and uncovered a case where the company allegedly has an office, but the reception directory service informed me that no such corporation existed at the given address, and that, furthermore, there was a long standing corporation headquartered there for some time.

Anyhow, since there is barely any information (I’ve come across some site linking it to a scam, but the site itself seems to be bot content created), it wouldn’t be a place I’d even venture to consider in the first place.

Note: Normally, you find similar sites (normally scams) by searching strings that appear on the site or TOS of the site you are scrutinizing, but I didn’t find anything meaningful.

Based on me browsing the website for 5 minutes, I think it's either a scam, or a really amateurishly-made website. There aren't like huge red flags, but a lot of small ones in my opinion.

1. Website looks like it was created by an amateur on WordPress.
2. Reading through a good chunk of their text, it's mostly kinda buzzword-ish.
3. No social media links

Again though, there's a chance that it's legit. But based on what I'm seeing, if it was actually legit, it's a service where I wouldn't to entrust my money with.

Richfielder.com   can find very little about this company online.

After doing some research, looks like the site is a scam, as you can see in this article... https://fintelegram.com/daily-affiliate-alert-securewealthygains-bitcoin-system-with-scam-broker-richfielder/

Quote
While looking through our junk email folders this morning, we discovered emails from Daily Mirror (info@saadahco.com). In it, the miracle of Bitcoin and the Bitcoin System is explained. As usual, the email contains several times an affiliate link that leads us via https://track.saadahco.com to the website SecureWealthyGains with the domain www.securewealthygains.com and the Bitcoin System campaign deposited there. There a video explaining how to “ride the Bitcoin wave.” After registering, we were redirected to the illegal broker Richfielder (www.richfielder.com).

And here another user post a scam call: https://www.unknownphone.com/phone/07520665693

So, I would recommend avoiding this service.

I believe is this a scam site.
1) No genuine broker will create such a cheap site which seems incomplete.
2) Site age is 4 months and some days.
3) The site also use the name of a broker which is once blacklisted (https://scamrecovery.net/trading/richfield-capital-limited/) by the FCA so it either the previous create the new site or this is the plan of an online theft.

Scam

Almost everything on the website is plagiarized including the terms and conditions. All they replace in the documents is just their name.

For example;

Code:
Domain: richfielder.com
Registrar: NameCheap, Inc.
Registered On: 2020-12-17
Expires On: 2021-12-17
Updated On: 2020-12-17

Terms and conditions (https://www.richfielder.com/terms-and-conditions) are copied from https://klimexcm.com/files/VGP_Margin_FX_PDS-V1.3.pdf

Code:
Domain: klimexcm.com
Registrar: Tucows Domains Inc.

Being openly flagged as an illegal broker, newly created domain name, plagiarised content, few to no interlinking among the whole internet - looks pretty legit to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are hosted by Amazon AWS btw. Interesting.
