Verdict up front: Central Trade (centraltrade.cc) sells “investment packages” paying 10% in 12 hours up to 40% in 84 hours, and says it is “fully regulated by the FCA and CySec”. The UK FCA warned about the site on 24 July 2026. The domain was registered on 1 April 2026 — about six months ago.

Returns measured in hours
The “First Timers” plan takes $50 to $2,500 and pays a 10% “R.O.I” in 12 hours. The “Capital Trading Investment Plan” takes $11,000 to “Unlimited” and pays 40% in 84 hours. Every plan promises “Instant Withdrawals” and a referral bonus of up to 15%.
No market pays a fixed return on a timer. A plan that pays you more for bringing in friends is paying you with their money.

‘Since 2013’ on a six-month-old site
The homepage says it has been “trusted by leading financial institutions since 2013”, that it has “about 15 million plus investors globally” and that it manages “$562.9bn” for “governments, pension funds, insurers” — “as at 30 June 2020”. The domain was registered in April 2026. The same $562.9bn sentence appears word for word on other sites in this family, including zenithprimeltd.com and trustff.net.
Whole paragraphs describe a stablecoin company’s products (“Arc, USDC, and Circle Payments Network”). Nothing on the page shows any link to the company that makes them.
A licence claim with no number
The FCA and CySEC both publish free public registers. A firm they authorise has a reference number you can look up in under a minute. This site gives no number for either, and the FCA has put it on its warning list instead.
The only address is “Norwood Rd West Norwood London SE27 9JU” — a street, not a building, with no company name or registration number.
The ISA line
The site also invites UK visitors to “wrap” any investment in a tax-free ISA with its £20,000 yearly allowance. Only an ISA manager approved by HMRC and authorised in the UK can offer an ISA. An unauthorised website that promises one is using the word to borrow trust.
⚠ Verified evidence
- The FCA warned about centraltrade.cc on 24 July 2026.
- Plans promise 10% to 40% in 12 to 84 hours with “Instant Withdrawals”.
- The site claims to be “fully regulated by the FCA and CySec” with no reference number.
- centraltrade.cc was registered on 1 April 2026, yet claims clients “since 2013”.
Who is being targeted
The site runs a translation widget with dozens of languages and a “VIP” contact line. It is written to be shared in chat groups by people who have just been paid their first ‘profit’ — which is exactly how these schemes grow before they stop paying.
What to do if you paid Central Trade
- Stop sending money — no “tax”, “release fee” or “upgrade” will unlock a withdrawal.
- Keep every record: receipts, wallet addresses, emails and chat screenshots.
- Tell your bank or card issuer today and ask about a chargeback or recall.
- Report it to the FCA (0800 111 6768) and to Action Fraud or your local police.
- Be wary of anyone who contacts you offering to recover the money for a fee.
