Unauthorised Firm Details

Name: KHNTUS
Website: khntus.com

KHNTUS presents itself as an online trading / crypto investment platform, but it has been publicly flagged by major authorities and independent watchdogs. Spain’s securities regulator (CNMV) issued an official warning in mid-September 2025: KHNTUS is not authorised to provide investment services and has been promoted in WhatsApp groups under false or misleading names (reports mention it being pushed as “J.P. Morgan” in social channels). Multiple independent reputation services give the site very low trust scores, and several scam-watch writeups describe patterns typical of fraud — aggressive outreach, fake job/task narratives, promises of easy profits, and requests for upfront payments or escalating “verification” fees.

Bottom line: KHNTUS exhibits classic scam indicators (official regulator warning, hidden ownership, new domain, social-media/WhatsApp promotions and user complaints about blocked withdrawals). Treat the platform as high risk and avoid depositing funds.

Location & Risk Notes

• Regulatory action: Spain’s CNMV has issued a public warning that KHNTUS is not authorised to provide investment services in Spain and has been promoted via messaging apps under misleading branding. This is an official, current regulator warning.

• Domain & transparency: The domain is very recent (registered in 2025) and WHOIS ownership is privacy-protected; this prevents tracing of the true operators.

• Reputation / trust scores: Multiple site-reputation and scam-monitoring tools assign KHNTUS a very low trust score and flag it as suspicious or high-risk.

• Typical scam behaviour observed: Promotion through WhatsApp and social channels, fake job/task recruitment stories to lure victims, initial small payouts followed by blocked larger withdrawals, requests for additional fees/taxes to release funds.

• Geographic targeting: Evidence shows active promotion in Spain (CNMV warning) and likely wider targeting through messaging apps and social media — users across Europe and beyond may be at risk.

• Immediate guidance: Do not deposit money. If you already have funds with KHNTUS, collect and preserve all records (screenshots, transaction IDs, chat logs), contact your payment provider immediately to ask about reversal/chargeback options, and report the case to your local financial regulator and consumer protection agency. Beware of third-party “recovery” services that request upfront fees.
