Shellnovatrade Scam: Crypto and Hourly Return Plans

Shellnovatrade presents itself as a global digital asset manager founded in London in 2018, yet its domain name was only registered in May 2026. The real product, offered to visitors under crypto, forex and tokenised real estate headings, is a set of ready-made investment plans promising high percentage returns within hours.

In short: Shellnovatrade is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK), and the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a warning about unauthorised activity by the firm in October 2026. The model is built on selling tiered "plans" and on referral commission. Legal routes exist for recovering the money that was sent.

⏱️ How Does the Hourly Plan Scheme Work?

On the site, plans listed under names such as "Bronze" and "Silver" each tie a fixed return percentage to a term of one or two days; the larger the deposit, the higher the promised rate. No genuine market transaction can produce a fixed profit in such a short time.

  • A small plan is offered as a "trial" and moving up to a higher plan is encouraged.
  • A referral commission is promised to anyone who brings in a new member; the payment chain keeps turning on new deposits.
  • The user and asset statistics shown on the site rest on no verifiable record.

🔍 Domain Name, Address and Contact Details

The platform operates from shellnovatrade.com and the e-mail [email protected]; the stated address is 1200 Brickell Avenue, Suite 850, in Miami. The domain name was registered on 11 May 2026, and the server details are hidden behind Cloudflare. The "we have been operating for years" story contradicts this registration date. Carrying out capital markets activity in Türkiye without permission is an offence requiring a prison sentence under Article 109 of Capital Markets Law No. 6362. Authorised institutions can be checked on the SPK list of intermediary institutions.
