Islamique-Invest Scam: Certificate Fee Trap, Not Licensed

A name that suggests Islamic finance fronts islamique-invest.com, an investment site that presents a small first payment as if it had quickly turned into an extraordinary profit. Each time, the profit is released only after a new "fee" is paid.

In short: Islamique-Invest is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). After a profit screen is shown, a "certificate fee" is demanded before the money can be released. Legal follow-up is possible for money taken in this way.

🚩 How Is the Certificate Fee Trap Set?

The amount requested in the first step is deliberately kept low; the account then shows a "profit" many times larger than that amount. A person acting as a customer representative asks for a certificate fee far above the first payment so that the profit can be transferred. The displayed profit has no real market behind it; even when the fee is paid, a new charge appearing afterwards is the usual continuation of this scheme.

Acts of this kind, committed by using information systems as a tool, are assessed under the qualified fraud provision of Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.

🔍 A Short History of the Site

The domain was obtained from an overseas registrar in January 2026, and the server details are hidden behind a content delivery network. Today the address shows only a "page not found" message. The platform's name does not appear on the list of SPK-authorised institutions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the "certificate fee" a real legal requirement?

No. No such certificate or fee exists in the legislation for transferring a profit; the demand is entirely part of the platform's scheme.

Does the word "Islamique" in the site name point to a real institution?

The name was chosen to reassure people looking for interest-free, faith-compliant investment; there is no authorised Islamic finance institution behind it.

The site has closed; can the payment still be traced?

Closing a website does not erase bank and payment records; the accounts the transfers went to can be identified separately.
