How the scam operates.
Infinitech Trading menampilkan dirinya dengan nama yang memadukan bahasa teknologi finansial dengan layanan perdagangan, memproyeksikan citra platform investasi yang kredibel dan modern. Operasi opsi biner jenis ini umumnya menyasar investor ritel yang baru mengenal pasar keuangan, memasarkan instrumennya sebagai sesuatu yang sederhana dan berhambatan rendah. Domain infinitechtrading.com memperkuat tampilan profesional yang dirancang untuk menarik setoran sebelum pertanyaan apa pun mengenai status regulasinya muncul.
Operasi opsi biner bekerja dengan menghimpun setoran atas taruhan arah jangka pendek mengenai apakah harga suatu aset akan naik atau turun dalam jendela waktu yang ditentukan. Dalam praktiknya, operator mengendalikan lingkungan hasilnya, dan kerugian yang terverifikasi secara independen tertanam secara struktural dalam desain produk. Korban melaporkan adanya periode awal berupa keuntungan yang tampak nyata, sering kali difasilitasi oleh operator untuk mendorong setoran yang lebih besar, sebelum kondisinya berubah. Manajer akun, yang merupakan figur lazim dalam operasi semacam ini, memberikan tekanan untuk memperbesar ukuran posisi dan menahan penarikan dini.
Titik kegagalan kritis tiba ketika korban mengajukan permintaan penarikan dana. Pada tahap ini operator umumnya memperkenalkan hambatan yang menumpuk: biaya kepatuhan, persyaratan pelunasan pajak, klausul penarikan kembali bonus, atau tuntutan setoran tambahan untuk membuka akses dana. Pencantuman dalam daftar peringatan FCA menegaskan bahwa Infinitech Trading beroperasi di luar batas regulasi Inggris, yang berarti korban tidak memiliki upaya hukum melalui Financial Services Compensation Scheme dan tidak memiliki jalur Ombudsman untuk mengajukan keluhan.
Red flags we documented.
- 01FCA Warning List PlacementThe FCA's binary options warning list identifies firms offering regulated financial products to UK consumers without authorisation. Placement on this list is not a civil dispute; it signals that the firm was operating outside the legal framework entirely, with no client money protections in place.
- 02Unregulated Binary Options OperationBinary options are classified as a controlled investment type in the UK. Operating them without FCA authorisation is a criminal offence. The product category carries a well-documented history of consumer harm, prompting regulators across multiple jurisdictions to restrict or prohibit retail binary options entirely.
- 03No Regulatory Safety Net for DepositorsBecause Infinitech Trading operated outside the FCA's authorised perimeter, funds deposited with the platform fall outside the protections of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Victims cannot pursue complaints through the Financial Ombudsman Service, leaving civil litigation as the primary formal avenue.
- 04Branding Pattern Designed to Signal LegitimacyThe platform's name and domain combine financial technology language with trading services to project the appearance of an established fintech provider. This naming convention is common among unauthorised operations that seek credibility without the regulatory underpinning genuine firms are required to maintain.
- 05Withdrawal Obstruction as a Structural SignalVictims of binary options operations in this category consistently report the same sequence: apparent early gains, pressure to increase deposits, then escalating barriers when withdrawals are requested. The absence of a regulated framework means there is no external mechanism to compel fund release once the operator declines to cooperate.

If we accept the case, we open a numbered case file and issue a written quote for a flat investigation retainer before any work begins, scoped to case complexity, the jurisdictions involved, and the on-chain trail.

We trace stolen crypto across BTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron, and major stablecoins using the same toolchain as regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams. The output is a forensic report anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights, the evidence that exchanges, payment processors, and counsel actually act on. Recovery starts here.
Recover with counsel where civil action makes sense +
Where the trace lands in a jurisdiction with cooperative banks and courts, we coordinate with bar-licensed counsel in our 40+ jurisdiction network for civil action and asset-freezing orders (Mareva-style). Counsel bill you directly; the CryptoLeek investigation retainer is independent of counsel fees. The outcome is funds released back to your nominated wallet or bank account.
