Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
9/10 · CriticalNo licence and no regulator named anywhere while soliciting public deposits for pooled investment, which is a regulated activity in essentially every jurisdiction.
Identity & transparency
10/10 · CriticalNo legal entity, company number, directors or registered address disclosed on any version of the site, and no matching company at UK Companies House.
Withdrawals & conduct
4/10 · ModerateNo complaints pinned to this domain. One detailed police-reported advance-fee loss matches the brand name only, so it is recorded as unconfirmed context rather than a proven pattern.
Reputation
7/10 · HighNo organic footprint at all: no Trustpilot profile and no verifiable user reviews either way, against a zero out of one hundred algorithmic trust rating and a lowest-band assessment from a third-party broker directory.
Website claims
9/10 · CriticalGuaranteed 5% daily and 10% weekly returns, an unevidenced claim of over a decade in business, an unnamed award, and testimonials presented alongside unattributed trust scores.

8/10 · CriticalRoughly three years of traceable existence against an advertised decade, ending in hosting suspension and total abandonment of the domain rather than an orderly closure.
Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand: Ultra Trade Investment
- Legal entity: None disclosed. The website named no company, anywhere, at any point we examined.
- Registered: No registered address published. No matching company at UK Companies House.
- Website: ultratradeinvestment.com, live from at least June 2021 until late 2024. The domain is now deleted and does not resolve.
- Only licence: None. No regulator was ever named and no licence number was ever displayed.
- Offers: Fixed-term deposit plans from 100 to 50,000 dollars in crypto, forex, stocks and mining, sold with pre-stated profit rates.
- Not accepted: No restricted-country list was published, which is itself unusual for an operation soliciting worldwide.
- Age claim: Groundbreaking investment solutions for over a decade. Not supported by any evidence we could find.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Four findings drive this verdict, and each one is documented in the site's own archived pages or in a public registry.
- Guaranteed returns that cannot exist. The 2021 version of the site listed a Basic Plan paying 5% per day, a Silver Plan paying 10% per week, and Gold and Platinum plans paying fixed monthly percentages, each with a guaranteed minimum and maximum payout. A 5% daily return compounds to more than 1,800% a year. No lawful investment product offers a guaranteed return of any size, and these figures are arithmetically impossible to sustain. Paying early investors from later deposits is the only way such a promise can be met for a while, which is what a Ponzi scheme is.
- Nobody was accountable for the money. Across every page we read, from 2021 to 2024, the site named no company, no directors, no company number and no office address. The only contact was a support email address and, in the earlier version, a United States telephone number. Taking pooled deposits from the public in this way requires authorisation in essentially every jurisdiction, and there was none.
- The advertised history was not real. The site claimed over a decade of operation. The earliest evidence of the domain existing at all is an archived capture from 17 June 2021, and we found no predecessor domain or earlier brand carrying that history forward. Advertising ten-plus years on roughly three years of traceable existence is a false statement to prospective investors.
- The operation has vanished with no wind-down. A hosting suspension page was captured on the domain on 24 June 2024. The site returned briefly, then the registration lapsed after October 2024. Today the domain is absent from the .com registry entirely and does not resolve. A legitimate investment business that closes returns client funds and says where to reach it. This one simply switched off.
We also note a case reported by Northern Beaches Police in New South Wales and published in May 2025, in which a man lost close to 64,000 Australian dollars to an operation he named as Ultra Trade Investments, after being approached on Signal and then repeatedly asked for further fees before his profits would be released. Demanding extra payments to unlock a withdrawal is the advance-fee mechanic and matches this site's business model closely. We are recording it as supporting context only, and it does not carry the verdict: the report names the brand but no website, and several unrelated operations use similar Ultra Trade names, so we cannot tie it to this exact domain.
On age, our figure is an upper bound. No operating company was ever identified, so there is no incorporation date to test the domain against, and the domain registration record was destroyed when the name was deleted from the registry.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The 2021 version of the site advertised a Basic Plan paying a stated 5% daily profit, a Silver Plan paying 10% weekly, and Gold and Platinum plans with fixed monthly percentages, each with guaranteed minimum and maximum returns. Guaranteed returns of this size are impossible and are the defining feature of a Ponzi structure.
E2The same archived page states that the operation had provided investment solutions for over a decade, and gives only a support email address and a United States telephone number. No company name, company number, directors or registered address appear anywhere on the page.
E3The last substantive version of the homepage still sold tiered deposit plans from 100 to 50,000 dollars, still claimed over a decade of operation, and still named no legal entity. The only contact given is a support email address.
E4A search of the official UK companies register returns no company called Ultra Trade Investment. The results are unrelated businesses in construction, marine and retail trades. This does not support the United Kingdom base recorded on our own file.
E5A UK company registration number circulating in connection with this brand does not exist on the official register, which returns no such company. No verifiable corporate identity could be attached to the operation.
E6A public DNS lookup returns status 3, NXDOMAIN, for ultratradeinvestment.com with no address records. The domain has been deleted from the .com registry and no longer exists.
ModerateGoogle Public DNS resolverE7The archive index for the domain records a capture of a hosting account suspension page on 24 June 2024, alongside a client login subdomain and WordPress template files. The site ran on an off-the-shelf website template rather than any trading platform, and its hosting was cut off months before the domain lapsed.
E8An independent website-risk service rates ultratradeinvestment.com zero out of one hundred and flags it as very likely unsafe, citing high-risk crypto investment services, a shared server carrying other low-rated sites, and hidden registration details.
E9A police report published in May 2025 describes a man who was approached on Signal in June 2024, invested with an operation he named as Ultra Trade Investments, and was then required to pay further fees to release his profits, losing close to 64,000 Australian dollars by April 2025. The report names no website, so it matches on brand name only and cannot be tied to this domain.
E10A search of the FCA warning list and of Australian investor alert resources found no published warning naming this domain or this brand. Similarly named firms on those lists are separate operations and have not been attributed here.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
We looked for innocent explanations before reaching this verdict. These are the ones worth stating.
- No regulator has published a warning about it. We searched the FCA warning list, the ASIC and Moneysmart investor alert list, and general regulator sources, and found nothing naming this domain or this brand. Similar names such as Ultras Asset and Ultra Booster Trading do appear on the FCA list, but those are different firms and we have not counted them.
- No confirmed victim is tied to this exact website. We found no Trustpilot profile, no forum threads and no complaint-tracker entries pinned to ultratradeinvestment.com. The single detailed loss report we located matches on brand name only.
- Some businesses do not need a broker licence. We checked whether this could be a prop firm, an introducing broker or a signal seller, all of which are legitimately unlicensed. It is none of them. It advertised deposit plans with returns paid on the client's own money, which is a regulated activity.
- Our own country record may simply be stale rather than false. The United Kingdom entry on our file is not supported by anything we found, but that is likelier to be an unverified data-entry value than a claim the operator made.
- The 2024 version of the site had dropped the daily percentages. The later pages kept the deposit tiers and durations but no longer printed the profit rates, which is a slightly less blatant presentation than the 2021 version.
None of this changes the conclusion. The absence of a regulator warning is not clearance, because warning lists lag and this operation was small and short-lived. A promise of 5% a day, published by an operator who names no company and then disappears, does not have an innocent reading.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict rests on documents rather than opinion, so it is testable. Any of the following would change it.
- Evidence that a named, incorporated company stood behind ultratradeinvestment.com and held an appropriate licence during 2021 to 2024, shown on a regulator's own register.
- Records showing that clients who deposited were paid out in full and that the closure in late 2024 was an orderly wind-down with funds returned.
- Proof that the operation genuinely traded for more than a decade under a predecessor brand or domain that carries continuous archive history.
- Confirmation that the archived pages we relied on were not the real site, for example that the domain was displaying content placed by someone other than the operator.
Conversely, a regulator warning naming this domain, or a documented victim account that cites ultratradeinvestment.com directly, would move this to a confirmed scam.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Ultra Trade Investment a scam?
On the evidence we gathered, yes. It sold investment plans promising a guaranteed 5% profit per day, which is impossible for any genuine investment. It named no company and held no licence from any financial regulator. The website has since been abandoned and the domain deleted.
Is Ultra Trade Investment regulated?
No. The site never named a regulator and never displayed a licence number. We found no authorisation for it in any register we checked, and no UK company of that name exists at Companies House. It was taking deposits from the public with no supervision at all.
Does the ultratradeinvestment.com website still work?
No. The domain no longer exists. It was removed from the .com registry after the registration lapsed following October 2024, and it does not resolve to any server. A hosting suspension page had already appeared on it in June 2024.
Can I still withdraw my money from Ultra Trade Investment?
There is no working website, no named company and no registered address, so there is no operator to make a claim against. If you have funds showing on an account there, treat them as lost and focus on reporting the payments and trying to recover them through your bank or the police.
Was my money ever actually invested?
Almost certainly not. The website was built on a standard WordPress template rather than a real trading system, and the returns it advertised could not be produced by trading. Schemes structured this way typically pay early withdrawals out of later deposits until the money runs out.
Who owns Ultra Trade Investment?
Nobody is identified. Across every version of the site we examined, from 2021 to 2024, there was no company name, no company number, no directors and no office address. The only contact details were a support email address and, in the earlier version, a United States phone number.
Is Ultra Trade Investment a UK company?
We found no evidence that it is. Our own record listed the United Kingdom, but there is no company called Ultra Trade Investment or Ultra Trade and Investment at Companies House, and a company number circulating in connection with the brand does not exist on that register.
How old was Ultra Trade Investment?
The site claimed over a decade of operation. The earliest trace we can evidence is an archived capture from June 2021, and it stopped operating during 2024. So it ran for roughly three years, not ten-plus. We could not date it more precisely because the domain record was destroyed when the name was deleted.
Is Ultra Trade Investment a clone of a real broker?
No. A clone copies a genuine regulated firm's name and licence number. This operation claimed no licence at all and impersonated no specific company, so it is a straightforward unlicensed scheme rather than a clone.
What does a 5 percent daily return actually mean?
It means the promise is false. Five percent a day compounds to well over 1,800% in a year. No bank, fund or broker in the world produces that, and no legitimate firm guarantees any return at all. A fixed daily profit figure is one of the clearest warning signs of an investment scam.
I am being asked to pay a fee before my profits are released. What should I do?
Stop paying immediately. A demand for tax, commission, insurance or verification money before a withdrawal is the advance-fee tactic, and it is designed to extract more from people who have already lost. No genuine firm asks you to pay in order to receive your own money.
What should I check before depositing with any platform like this?
Look up the firm on the register of a real regulator such as the FCA, ASIC or CySEC, and check that the licensed company name matches the one taking your money. Confirm a real company number and address. Then walk away from anything promising guaranteed or fixed returns.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat this as a closed scam site and do not attempt to deal with it.
- Do not send money to anyone using this name. The original website no longer exists. Any live site, app or messenger contact presenting itself as Ultra Trade Investment today is operating on a different domain and should be treated as a fresh scam until proven otherwise.
- If you deposited and are being asked for a fee to release your funds, stop paying. Requests for tax, insurance, commission or verification payments before a withdrawal are how the loss is enlarged. No legitimate firm requires a payment in order to return your own money.
- Report it. Contact your national financial regulator and your local police cybercrime or fraud unit. In Australia report to Scamwatch, in the United Kingdom to Action Fraud, in the United States to the FBI IC3 and the CFTC.
- Act quickly on the payment trail. Tell your bank or card issuer at once and ask about a chargeback or recall. If you paid in cryptocurrency, give the wallet addresses and transaction hashes to police and report them to a crypto abuse tracker.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money for an upfront fee. Victims of schemes like this are routinely approached a second time by recovery scammers. Several of the pages that rank highly for this brand appear to be exactly that.
