The Cryptoblackbird investigations desk logs operators that behave like investment fraud rather than legitimate brokerages. Option Mkts fits that pattern. What follows is our case summary and the recovery path we recommend.
What the record shows
Option Mkts has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2023-09-29. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/
Red flags our analysts noted
- The company cannot show a verifiable licence in the jurisdiction where it solicits clients.
- The brand name, address, or regulatory claims do not match any official register, and reviews describe the same withdrawal problems.
- A dashboard shows fast, unrealistic profits to encourage larger and larger deposits, while the underlying funds are never actually invested.
- Support goes quiet, contact numbers stop working, or the website disappears once a withdrawal is requested.
If you have already deposited
Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If Option Mkts is demanding more money before releasing your funds, that demand is itself the strongest confirmation of the fraud. Our analysts can review your case and lay out the realistic next steps.
Recovery is never guaranteed, but a documented, well-traced case has a materially better chance than one left to go cold. Cryptoblackbird’s team specialises in tracing crypto-based fraud and coordinating the recovery process from there.
