📄Investigation Summary

Quarix AI shows limited signals in current surveillance data with a 4/100 threat score, based on 138 fraudulent advertisements detected across 1 country over 28 days of continuous operation between Mar 19, 2026 and Apr 16, 2026. The scheme impersonates 12 real celebrities in paid advertisements, including Nabela Qoser, Eddie Yue Wai-man, 利君雅, Norman Chan, 毛孟靜.

Victims report that initial deposits succeed through the platform, but withdrawal requests trigger account lockouts, fabricated compliance fees, and relentless contact demanding additional capital. CryptoKiller's analysis confirms Quarix AI exhibits every hallmark of a confidence scheme: celebrity fabrication, geographic dispersion, high-velocity ad deployment, and zero regulatory registration across FCA, SEC, ASIC, or CySEC databases.

⚠️ If you deposited money to Quarix AI and cannot withdraw it, you are not the victim of bad luck or market volatility — you have been targeted by an organized fraud operation.

Quarix AI's 138 captured creatives featured 12 Hong Kong personalities, including HKMA officials Eddie Yue Wai-man and Norman Chan.

Stage 3

Fake Profits & Psychological Manipulation

Stage 4

The Withdrawal Trap & Fee Extraction

Each new payment unlocks another barrier.

🚩Red Flags

🎭

Red Flag 1

Hong Kong Officials Impersonated in Ads

Quarix AI's 138 ad creatives impersonated 12 Hong Kong public figures. These include HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue Wai-man (余偉文), former HKMA head Norman Chan (陳德霖), and Financial Secretary Paul Chan (陳茂波). Using senior financial regulators as bait adds false authority. No public figure on this list has endorsed Quarix AI. This pattern matches ASIC-flagged AI investment scams.

🚩

Red Flag 2

Disposable Domains With No Disclosures

CryptoKiller archived 3 landing pages on domains advance-commerce-system.top, efficient-marketing-engine.art, and profit-marketing-platform.top. All 3 lack company registration numbers, regulatory status, and risk disclosures. The .top and .art TLDs cost under $2 and are rotated frequently in fraud campaigns. Facebook UTM parameters confirm paid placement with campaign IDs traceable to 60 days of activity. Disposable infrastructure is a hallmark of unregulated operations.

⚖️

Red Flag 3

No Regulatory Authorization Found

Quarix AI does not appear on the SFC's register of licensed entities in Hong Kong, ASIC's register in Australia, the FCA's Financial Services Register in the UK, or FINMA's authorized list in Switzerland. FINMA and CySEC both maintain warning lists for unauthorized financial operators. The absence of any licensing across 4 major regulators, combined with 138 ad creatives targeting HK residents, warrants caution.

🔍Key Investigation Findings

Quarix AI's Facebook ad campaigns used UTM parameters with campaign names like 'JTBH' and 'DEBATES-ABO-DAILY', consistent with affiliate-driven fraud networks we have tracked across 50+ brands.

Three landing domains were registered on .top and .art TLDs — the same disposable infrastructure pattern observed in Senvix and PrimeAura campaigns we previously investigated.

Ad set naming conventions included 'HighNet' targeting labels, suggesting the operators segmented audiences by estimated net worth — a tactic we first documented in Q1 2026 Hong Kong-targeted campaigns.

The campaign went dead at 0 weekly creatives after 60 days, matching the typical 3-4 week burn cycle before operators rotate to a new brand name.
