How the scam operates.
AmiusGroupは、amiusgroupltd.comを通じて、自社を専門的な投資・取引プラットフォームとして提示している。社名に「Ltd」を用いること、および洗練されたドメイン名は、機関としての信頼性を演出するために設計された表面的なシグナルである。この種の事業形態は通常、運用による収益を求める個人投資家、あるいは暗号資産、株式、外国為替といった各資産クラスにわたる自己裁量型の取引アクセスを求める個人投資家を標的とする。
この種の事業の手口は、見覚えのある一連の流れに従う。当初の入金は摩擦なく受け入れられ、口座のダッシュボードには、さらなる資金投入を促すために表面上の利益が表示される。建玉が拡大するにつれ、運営者は手口を変える。不透明な出金条件を伴うボーナス制度が導入され、より大口の出金要求に対しては、手続き上の遅延、コンプライアンス上の義務と称する手数料の要求、あるいは満たすことのできない書類提出の要件が課される。
破綻点は、被害者がまとまった金額の出金を試みた際に表面化する。この段階で、プラットフォームは通常、応答しなくなり、達成不可能な条件を持ち出し、あるいは連絡を完全に断つ。入金された資金は、もはやいかなる正規の経路を通じても引き出すことができない。求めてもいない資金回収の働きかけがその後しばしば続くが、この種の事業形態に関わる記録された事例では、こうした接触は、真の支援ではなく継続的な詐欺の仕組みである。
Red flags we documented.
- 01Guaranteed daily / weekly returnsLegitimate trading platforms do not promise fixed returns of "5% per day" or "30% per month". Real markets have variance; anything advertising guaranteed yield in this range is structurally impossible to deliver and is the strongest single signal of a fraudulent platform.
- 02Withdrawal triggers a "release fee"When a user requests withdrawal, the platform invents a new charge, "tax clearance", "anti-money-laundering fee", "withdrawal upgrade", that must be paid before funds release. This is extortion. The original deposit is already gone; the second-stage fee is the operator extracting additional value before disappearing.
- 03Account manager pushes for higher depositsA named "account manager" (often via Telegram or WhatsApp) urges progressively larger deposits, frames hesitation as "missing the opportunity", and discourages independent verification. This social-engineering pattern is consistent across investment-fraud operations and rarely appears at licensed brokers.
- 04No verifiable regulator registrationThe platform claims regulation by a real authority but the regulator's public register has no record of the firm, or has an explicit warning notice. Always check the source register directly, not the platform's own claims.
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.
