How the scam operates.
Infinitech Trading は、金融テクノロジーを連想させる用語とトレーディングサービスを組み合わせた名称を掲げ、信頼できる現代的な投資プラットフォームであるかのような印象を演出しています。この種のバイナリーオプション業者は通常、金融市場に不慣れな個人投資家を標的とし、自社の商品を「単純で参入障壁が低い」ものとして売り込みます。ドメイン infinitechtrading.com は、規制上の適格性が問われる前に出資を呼び込むことを狙った、専門的な外観を一層強めています。
バイナリーオプション業者は、定められた一定期間内に資産価格が上昇するか下落するかという短期の方向性に賭けさせ、それに対して出資を勧誘する仕組みで運営されています。実際には、運営者が結果を生み出す環境そのものを支配しており、独立して検証された損失は商品設計の中に構造的に組み込まれています。被害者は、当初は利益が出ているように見える期間を経験したと報告しており、これはより多額の出資を促すために運営者が意図的に演出している場合が少なくありません。その後に状況が一変します。この種の業者によく見られるアカウントマネージャーは、ポジションの拡大を迫り、早期の出金を思いとどまらせるよう圧力をかけます。
決定的な破綻点は、被害者が出金を申請したときに訪れます。この段階で運営者は通常、次々と障害を持ち出します。コンプライアンス手数料、税務クリアランスの要件、ボーナス返還条項、あるいは資金を引き出すためにさらなる出資を求める要求などです。FCA 警告リストへの掲載は、Infinitech Trading が英国の規制の枠外で運営されていたことを裏づけており、被害者には金融サービス補償制度（FSCS）を通じた救済手段がなく、苦情についてオンブズマンに申し立てる経路も存在しないことを意味します。
Red flags we documented.
- 01FCA Warning List PlacementThe FCA's binary options warning list identifies firms offering regulated financial products to UK consumers without authorisation. Placement on this list is not a civil dispute; it signals that the firm was operating outside the legal framework entirely, with no client money protections in place.
- 02Unregulated Binary Options OperationBinary options are classified as a controlled investment type in the UK. Operating them without FCA authorisation is a criminal offence. The product category carries a well-documented history of consumer harm, prompting regulators across multiple jurisdictions to restrict or prohibit retail binary options entirely.
- 03No Regulatory Safety Net for DepositorsBecause Infinitech Trading operated outside the FCA's authorised perimeter, funds deposited with the platform fall outside the protections of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Victims cannot pursue complaints through the Financial Ombudsman Service, leaving civil litigation as the primary formal avenue.
- 04Branding Pattern Designed to Signal LegitimacyThe platform's name and domain combine financial technology language with trading services to project the appearance of an established fintech provider. This naming convention is common among unauthorised operations that seek credibility without the regulatory underpinning genuine firms are required to maintain.
- 05Withdrawal Obstruction as a Structural SignalVictims of binary options operations in this category consistently report the same sequence: apparent early gains, pressure to increase deposits, then escalating barriers when withdrawals are requested. The absence of a regulated framework means there is no external mechanism to compel fund release once the operator declines to cooperate.
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.
