How the scam operates.
AssegAi FXは、個人向けの外国為替取引プラットフォームを標榜している。そのブランディングは南部アフリカの伝統に結びついたイメージを用いており、これは同地域の投資家や在外コミュニティ(ディアスポラ)の間で信頼を築くことを意図した位置づけと考えられる。この種の事業は通常、利用しやすい最低入金額、取引の助言サービス、安定したリターンの約束を売りにし、金融市場での経験が乏しい個人顧客を引き寄せる。
独立系の集計機関によって詐欺と確認された事業は、一貫したパターンをたどる。顧客の入金は銀行振込、カード決済、または暗号資産(cryptocurrency)を通じて受け入れられ、運営者の単独管理下に集約される。アカウントのダッシュボードは利益の出ているポジションを表示するよう捏造され、正当な取引活動が行われているかのような外観を作り出す。実際の市場へのエクスポージャーは一切存在せず、報告される利益はすべて管理されたインターフェース内の数字にすぎず、裏付けとなる資産も取引所(exchange)の取引相手も存在しない。
破綻の局面は、顧客が出金を要求したときに訪れる。この分類に該当するプラットフォームは、この段階で次々と障害を持ち出すのが常である。未開示の税金前払いの要求、決して解決しないコンプライアンス確認の繰り返し、あるいは根拠のない理由による突然の口座凍結などである。記録された多くの事例では、追加の入金が見込めなくなると運営者からの連絡が完全に途絶え、被害者には契約上の救済手段も、正式な苦情を申し立てられる規制当局も残されない。
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.
