How the scam operates.
Bartexは暗号資産およびオンライン取引のプラットフォームを標榜し、デジタル資産への投資機会を求める個人投資家を標的としています。表向きの体裁としては、専門的な印象を与えるダッシュボード、高い収益をうたう宣伝、そして初回入金へのハードルを下げるために設計された容易な口座開設手続きが用いられるのが一般的です。
この種の運用は、見分けのつく一定のパターンに従います。被害者はまず少額の投資で取り込まれ、その資金がプラットフォームの口座画面上で収益を生み出しているかのように見せられます。これらの数字は、実際の市場ポジションに裏付けられた本物の残高ではなく、さらなる入金を促すために作り込まれた表示上の数値にすぎません。運営者の収益構造は、利用者が出金を試みる前に、預け入れられた資金を蓄積することに依存しています。
この仕組みは、利用者が出金を申請した時点で明らかになります。その段階で、プラットフォームは通常さまざまな障害を持ち出します。事前に開示されていなかった手数料、源泉徴収税の要件、最低出金額、あるいは追加の入金を行わなければ解除されないコンプライアンス上の保留などです。サポートとの連絡は不規則になり、やがて完全に途絶えます。預け入れた資金は返還されません。
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.
