How the scam operates.
Astrovestは自らをオンライン投資プラットフォームとして提示しており、暗号資産取引やポートフォリオの成長をうたう提案を通じて、主に個人投資家を標的にしているとみられます。この種の手口で構築されたプラットフォームは通常、洗練されたインターフェース、運用実績の統計、口座のランク制度などを用いて、専門性のある外観を演出し、信頼性を装います。最初の接触は、ソーシャルメディア上の広告やダイレクトメッセージを通じて行われることが多く、宣伝文句では高い収益へのアクセスや投資の手軽さが強調されます。
最初の入金が行われると、利用者にはポートフォリオの利益を表示するダッシュボードが示されます。これらの数字は、いかなる実際の取引活動とも結び付いておらず、さらなる資金投入を促すために捏造されたものです。運営者は通常、被害者に直接連絡を取るアカウントマネージャーを配置し、表示された利益を根拠として示しながら、投資額を増やせば収益が加速すると説きます。この循環は被害者が出金を試みるまで続き、その時点で状況は一変します。
出金の請求こそが、詐欺が表面化する局面です。この種のプラットフォームは、出金の遅延、恣意的なコンプライアンス要件、あるいは税金・解除手数料・本人確認費用などと称した追加の支払い要求で応じます。これらの支払いによって資金が解放されることはなく、二次的な搾取の層を構成しているにすぎません。利用者がそれ以上の支払いを拒否したり、問題を上位に持ち込んだりすると、運営者からの連絡は通常減少するか、完全に途絶え、預け入れた資金はプラットフォームを通じて回収できない状態に置かれます。
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.
