HCM: no way in at 135 Macquarie Street
HCM publishes 135 Macquarie Street in Sydney. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
HCM publishes Suite 3 G, 135 Macquarie Street, SYDNEY NSW 2000 as its office. The address is in Sydney. 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 HCM to the address.
The checks
The checks that decided this outcome, from the visit checklist.
| Check | Result |

| Building match | Building matched |
| External signage | No relevant signage observed |
| Reception check | Reception unavailable |
| Floor or suite | Restricted |
Who else uses this address
One other broker in this set publishes an address on G Macquarie Street, which is USGFX. Two firms in one building is ordinary and says nothing on its own.
What the published address commits to
HCM publishes a floor and a room rather than only a building, which is the more checkable kind of address: it can be walked to and either holds the company or does not.
What Sydney looks like across the set
Sydney accounts for 156 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 155 other visits to the city, the team confirmed an office 3 times, found nothing 15 times and could not get access 137 times.
The reports either side of this one in Sydney are HexaOption, Hifinsa and Huayi, 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. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
