Equitonbury Scam Warning: ASIC Alert on lofotenaliqua.info

Equitonbury Scam Warning: ASIC Alert on lofotenaliqua.info

Equitonbury offered investment services at lofotenaliqua.info and entered the warning records of the Australian regulator ASIC on 26 October 2026, only eleven days after the domain was registered. This speed shows that the platform works with short-lived addresses.

In short: Equitonbury is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). It reached investors through a newly opened address unrelated to the brand name. Claiming back money transferred to this scheme is legally possible.

🧩 Why Do the Brand and the Domain Not Match?

"Equitonbury" is a name with the air of a British financial institution, yet the site was opened at an unrelated address that recalls the Lofoten islands in Norway. In schemes of this kind, the link that arrives by advert or message is redirected to a new address after every block; the investor believes they recognise the brand while sending money to different servers. The profit shown on the dashboard turns into "commission" and "verification fee" demands at the withdrawal stage.

🔍 Established Information

  • lofotenaliqua.info was registered on 15 October 2026 through NICENIC International; the server details are hidden behind Cloudflare.
  • The ASIC warning is dated 26 October 2026.
  • As of 29 October 2026 the address does not respond.

Equitonbury has no permission to offer investment services in Türkiye; the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions confirms this. Unauthorised capital markets activity is defined as a crime in Article 109 of Capital Markets Law No. 6362.

🔗 Other Platforms Using the Same Method

Similar platforms that change address within a short time have also been covered before.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is Equitonbury a British company?

Although its name gives this impression, no company identity appears in the domain registration or in the warning record.

I was sent a different address. Could it be the same platform?

Schemes of this kind open new addresses as they are blocked; as long as the brand name stays the same, it is highly likely that the same scheme is involved.

Can a legal process be started after the site has closed?

Yes. The bank and payment records of the money transfer are not affected by the closure of the site.

I was a victim of Equitonbury. What should I do?
