Investment scam — do not deposit
3 of 92 antivirus engines flag this page as malicious. Guaranteed-returns, HYIP, and pig-butchering funnels all rely on early "profits" to bait bigger deposits. Any money you send is almost certainly unrecoverable — do not top up to unlock withdrawals.
Is elite-investment.ltd legit or a scam?
Fake crypto investment platform promising 120-200% ROI, flagged as phishing by Fortinet and listed on scam report sites with no UK registration.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Investment scam indicators
The page shows patterns common to HYIP, forex, pig-butchering, and guaranteed-returns grifts.
- Do not interact with elite-investment.ltd
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Any money you send is almost certainly gone
These schemes pay out early "profits" to bait bigger deposits, then block withdrawals or demand a "tax" / "liquidity fee" to release funds. Do not top up to unlock a withdrawal — that's the same grift.
- If you already deposited — act immediately
Contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback, freeze further transfers, and gather every screenshot, WhatsApp / Telegram thread, and transaction ID. Do not engage with "recovery agents" who reach out after the loss — those are themselves a follow-up scam.
