Threat Profile
Fixed Term (fixed-term.com) positions itself as a digital-asset brokerage targeting everyday investors. CryptoCISO flagged the operator during routine counterparty-risk screening.
Regulatory Posture
Fixed Term appears to lean on an offshore shell in United Kingdom to project legitimacy. In reality, incorporation there does not equal regulation; the local authority neither supervises nor licenses trading activity, and no top-tier regulator lists the operator.
On-Chain & Operational Notes
Where we have visibility, funds sent to comparable operators move rapidly off-platform into obfuscation infrastructure. The window for effective blockchain tracing is widest immediately after the transfer, which is why prompt documentation matters.
Indicators We Flagged
- Returns or bonuses advertised that are inconsistent with legitimate markets
- Account managers steering clients toward larger top-ups
- Opaque corporate identity and unverifiable team or address
- Cloned or template website design shared with other flagged operators
CryptoCISO Risk Verdict
Our assessment places Fixed Term in the high risk band. The combination of unverifiable licensing and recurring fraud signatures is, in our experience, characteristic of platforms that do not return client funds on demand.
If Your Funds Are Exposed
If you have funds with this platform, stop sending additional deposits immediately and do not pay any ‘release’, ‘tax’, or ‘verification’ fee requested to unlock a withdrawal – these are themselves part of the fraud. Preserve everything: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, chat logs, and the account dashboard. The sooner the on-chain trail is documented, the more options remain.
