GWMEX: no way in at 391 Bourke Street
GWMEX publishes 391 Bourke Street in Victoria. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
GWMEX publishes 391 Bourke Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia as its office. The address is in Victoria. There was no signage for the company on the building, and the team could not get past the entrance to check a directory or speak to reception.
Because the team could not get inside, the visit is recorded as restricted rather than as proof that the company is absent. Nothing visible from the street connects GWMEX to the address.

Who else uses this address
One other broker in this set publishes an address on Bourke Street, which is Star Stone. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
What Victoria looks like across the set
Victoria accounts for 45 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 44 other visits to the city, the team found nothing 9 times and could not get access 35 times.
The reports either side of this one in Victoria are IG, IPCAPITAL and JFM, and reading two or three together is usually more telling than any single visit.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
What this outcome means
Access restricted. Building or security restrictions prevented the researcher from completing the planned checks.
A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength.
