How the scam operates.
Landmarkgroupは、金融サービスまたは投資仲介のプラットフォームを称しており、ソーシャルメディアでの勧誘、紹介ネットワーク、あるいは一方的な接触を通じて、おそらく個人投資家を対象に営業活動を行っています。そのブランディングとインターフェースは、正当性を演出するよう設計されており、規制対象の取引業務が持つ視覚的な体裁を借用していますが、それに見合う認可は備えていません。表向きの提案は単純です。口座を開設し、資金を入金し、プラットフォームを通じて運用される投資機会に参加するというものです。
この種のプラットフォームに共通する運用パターンには、利用者が口座への入金を促される初期の入金段階が含まれ、多くの場合、内部のダッシュボード上に表示される捏造された早期の利益がそれに伴います。こうした帳簿上の利益には特定の目的があります。信頼感を醸成し、さらなる入金を促すことであり、利用者にはより上位の段階やより有利な利率の解放と説明されることもあります。運用者は表示される数字を完全に支配しており、実際の市場へのエクスポージャーや第三者による顧客資金の保管が存在する証拠はありません。入金要求が段階的に拡大していくことは、この段階の標準的な特徴です。
決定的な破綻点は、利用者が出金を試みたときに訪れます。出金要求は遅延され、追加の手数料、本人確認書類、あるいはいわゆる税金の前払いを求められるか、あるいは単に応答が得られません。多くの場合、運用者がこれ以上の入金は見込めないと判断した時点で、口座が凍結されるか、連絡が完全に途絶えます。被害者にはプラットフォーム自体を通じた実効的な救済手段が残されず、検証可能な法人登記が存在しないことが、外部からの法執行による追及を困難にしています。
Red flags we documented.
- 01No Verifiable Regulatory RegistrationThere is no public record of Landmarkgroup holding a licence from any recognised financial authority. Without regulatory registration, client funds carry no segregation requirements, no compensation scheme protection, and no obligation to maintain auditable records. This alone places the platform outside the bounds of legitimate brokerage operation.
- 02Fabricated Profit Displays With No Audit TrailOperations flagged in this category routinely show clients impressive returns within their account dashboards. These figures are not connected to any real market activity; they exist to encourage further deposits and suppress early withdrawal requests. There is no independent mechanism for users to verify that reported gains reflect actual positions.
- 03Withdrawal Obstruction as a Defining PatternA consistent feature of platforms flagged by BrokersView is the introduction of escalating barriers when users attempt to retrieve funds. Demands for additional fees, further identity verification, or pre-payment of taxes are not standard practice among regulated brokers. They are, however, a well-documented delay tactic used to exhaust or discourage claimants.
- 04Referral-Driven or Unsolicited RecruitmentFraudulent investment platforms frequently rely on cold outreach via social media, messaging applications, or affiliate referral networks rather than conventional regulated advertising. This recruitment method bypasses the scrutiny applied to licensed financial promotions and targets individuals who have not independently sought out the service.
- 05Obscured Operator Identity and Corporate StructureLegitimate financial services firms publish verifiable information about corporate registration, directorship, and physical address. When this information is absent or cannot be independently confirmed, it signals that the operator intends to remain difficult to identify and trace, a significant obstacle for any recovery or enforcement effort.
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.
