Recently, many investors have reported to financial rights protection communities and foreign exchange monitoring platforms that AEBANK , the platform to which the website taebankmarkets.com belongs, has serious withdrawal difficulties and loss of contact with customer service .
Some users were initially drawn to the platform because it claimed on social media and WeChat groups that it was "authorized by international financial regulators," displaying a so-called "U.S. regulatory number" and a "professional investment advisory team." However, the truth gradually became apparent: the so-called regulatory credentials were often fabricated, the website registration and domain name information all showed anonymous registrations, and customer service generally lost contact after any problems arose.

2. Investors’ real experiences

"I discovered AEBANK through a 'Forex Stable Financial Management Exchange Group.' They advertised their US FinCEN regulatory number, and their website, taebankmarkets.com, looked very legitimate. I deposited $200 to test the waters, and a few days later my account showed a profit, and I even successfully made a $30 test withdrawal."

"Their customer service kept calling and sending private messages, saying that if I made additional investments, I could become a VIP user and enjoy 'fixed dividends.' I believed their 'teacher' and invested a total of $5,000."

"When I applied to withdraw my funds, I was told I had to pay 'clearing fees' and 'taxes' first. I did so but the funds still haven't arrived. When I contacted customer service again, they had lost contact and the group had been disbanded."

This experience is almost consistent with the statements of many victims, reflecting that the platform adopted the classic fraud routine of "inducing small withdrawals → large-scale position increases → forced payment → refusal to withdraw funds" .

3. Investigation of Platform Domain Name and Registration Information

Cross-verification revealed that no legally licensed entity named "AEBANK" was found in major international regulatory databases, including FinCEN, NFA, FCA, and ASIC. This means that the website has not obtained any valid regulatory approval .

4. User Complaints and External Evaluations

Some users also provided screenshots of forged regulatory documents. After checking the font, seal and number format, it was found that they were completely inconsistent with the official regulatory documents.

VI. Suggestions for Victims’ Rights Protection

1. Immediately stop all additional transfers and do not believe any claim that "paying back taxes can unfreeze your account."

2. Keep all evidence (chat records, remittance receipts, web page screenshots, etc.).

3. Complaints or filings can be made through the following channels:

• US FinCEN reporting page

• FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

• China's Ministry of Public Security reports on online crimes

• Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong

VII. Conclusion

AEBANK (taebankmarkets.com) is being reported by an increasing number of investors, and its tactics are identical to those of many overseas "high-yield foreign exchange investment" scams.
In any investment behavior, verifying regulatory qualifications, company registration information and the authenticity of withdrawal channels are key lines of defense.
If you or your friends encounter a similar situation, please save the evidence immediately and protect your rights through formal channels. Do not fall into the trap of "paying fees to withdraw funds" again.
