As you've already guessed, you're taking a big risk. Obviously people do this and get away with it regularly, otherwise these brokers would not exist. But there are a number of stories here on FT of people getting caught. If you can get a refund with no or only a small penalty fee, that might be the way to go. It depends on your risk tolerance.
