How the scam operates.
AFTはafttmarkets.comというドメインを通じて運営され、個人投資家を標的とする市場アクセス可能な取引プラットフォームを装っています。表面的なブランディングは信頼性を演出するために設計されており、洗練された口座画面、階層化された入金プラン、正規の証券会社を模倣したマーケティング表現を備えています。標的となるのは、金融商品へのアクセスを求めつつ、業者の認可状況を確認した経験を持たない可能性のある個人層です。
この種の運営手口は、文書化された一定のパターンに従います。預金者は手続き上は正常に感じられるプロセスで口座開設へと誘導され、残高の数値や取引活動らしきものを表示する口座ダッシュボードを見せられます。この分類に属する無規制プラットフォームでは、それらの数値は完全に運営者の管理下にあり、実際の市場ポジションとの検証可能な関連性は一切ありません。その狙いは、信頼を醸成し、さらなる資金投入を促すことにあります。
この仕組みは出金の段階で破綻します。資金を引き出そうとする利用者は、時間とともに積み重なる障害に直面します。段階的な本人確認要件、必須と称される予期せぬ手数料の要求、あるいは解決の見込みのない露骨な遅延などです。入金段階では迅速に対応していたサポート窓口は、出金リクエストが進行中になると、対応が遅くなるか、応答が途絶えるのが通例です。この段階に至ると、プラットフォームに預けた資金は通常の手段では事実上アクセス不能となります。
Red flags we documented.
- 01No Verifiable Regulatory AuthorisationAFT holds no documented registration with any recognised financial regulator. Retail-facing brokers are required to maintain jurisdiction-specific licences that can be independently verified. The complete absence of any such authorisation is the most reliable single indicator of elevated fraud risk for any platform accepting client funds.
- 02Irregular Domain ConstructionThe platform domain uses the string 'aftt' rather than the simpler 'aft', an atypical construction for a financial services brand. Domain irregularities of this kind are common in operations that prioritise rapid deployment over long-term brand coherence, and can serve to maintain separation from prior enforcement activity or complaints tied to an earlier identity.
- 03Opaque Corporate IdentityNo verified corporate registration, physical address, or named directorship has been documented for AFT. This structural opacity is a defining characteristic of operations designed to minimise accountability and complicate any subsequent legal, regulatory, or civil recovery process initiated by affected users.
- 04Withdrawal Obstruction PatternPlatforms in this category introduce friction at the withdrawal stage that was absent during the deposit phase. Sequential fee demands, re-verification loops, and escalating technical pretexts are the characteristic sequence, representing a deliberate structural feature rather than ordinary processing delays.
- 05Unverified Trading EnvironmentUnregulated platforms operating this model do not execute client orders on real markets. The account interfaces simulate trading activity, giving users the impression of live positions and accruing gains while the operator retains full control over reported figures. Independent verification of any claimed trade execution is not possible.
What you can do now.
Open a free 24-hour case assessment with CryptoLeek +
Tell us what happened. A senior analyst reads your file within 24 hours and replies with an honest yes/no/conditional on recovery. The assessment is free. If we cannot recover the funds we say so plainly, including which (free) regulator channel you should use instead. 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.
Trace your funds on-chain with our analysts +
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.
