Ads point to aspire-center.net, styling itself as Aspire Academy with a “state licence” number, a dated certificate and a named director. Complaint research says that licence number belongs to a different education company entirely — a common cut-and-paste trick. Mentors on the page are generic trading-strategy names; the advertiser field is often empty. The working theory is a lead magnet: capture phones for later broker or course pressure.
Stolen licence numbers work because most visitors never open the education register. Do. Match the number to the legal entity on the official list, then match the entity to the domain. If either link breaks, close the tab before the callback. Free crypto trading academies that need your mobile number more than your email are rarely about tuition.
