How the scam operates.
Arc Marketは、arcmarket.capitalを通じて専門的な取引・投資プラットフォームを装っており、暗号資産市場やその他の金融商品への投資機会を求める個人利用者を主な対象としているとみられる。この種の業者は通常、洗練されたインターフェース、市場へのアクセスをうたう主張、段階的に区分された口座区分を用いて表面的な信頼性を構築し、規制対象のブローカーの口座開設プロセスを模倣するよう設計されたソーシャルメディアや紹介ネットワークを通じた勧誘を組み合わせる場合もある。
この種の詐欺が確認されたプラットフォームに共通する手口は、おおむね決まった流れをたどる。利用者はまず初回入金を促され、その後ダッシュボード上に架空の利益やポートフォリオの増加が表示される。業者はこの捏造された運用成績を用いてさらなる資金の拠出を求め、段階的な口座等級や、拠出額の増額を迫る専任の口座担当者を提示する場合もある。原資産はいかなる正規の市場にも投じられておらず、終始一貫して業者の管理下に置かれたままである。
破綻は通常、利用者が資金の出金を試みた時点で生じる。この段階でプラットフォームは、処理手数料、源泉徴収税の要件、本人確認の遅延、入金時には開示されていなかった最低残高基準といった障害を持ち出す。十分な抵抗を経たのち、プラットフォームからの連絡はしばしば途絶える。被害者はその後、利用可能な回収手段を一切失い、場合によっては資産回収サービスを提供すると偽る者による二次的な詐欺の標的となることもある。
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.
