Trade Lend (trade-lend.com) offers crypto backed loans and an earn product. It says no bank and no credit check are needed, your crypto is the collateral, and most loans are paid out within hours. BaFin warned on 1 September 2026 that Trade Lend uses fake loans to lead people into crypto trading.
A 2006 company number on a 2026 website
The banner says the business has been on the UK companies register since 2006, and the footer names a London company with a Mayfair office address. The website domain was only registered on 26 June 2026. Borrowing an old company number is a common trick: the record is real, but it has nothing to do with the people running the website.

How the loan trap works
You apply for a loan and are approved fast. To receive it, you must first send crypto as collateral, then pay a fee, then perhaps more collateral because the price moved. The loan never lands. BaFin says these loans are a route into crypto trading, where the money disappears for good.

Or write to support@ettran.com. Do not send more collateral or fees.

Checks that take two minutes
Search the company number shown on Trade Lend at Companies House and look at what that company actually does, who its directors are and whether its website matches trade-lend.com. A firm that has filed accounts since 2006 under one business would not suddenly launch a crypto lending site on a domain bought in June 2026. Also check the FCA register: lending to consumers in the UK needs authorisation, and crypto firms must be registered for money laundering rules.
Ask yourself why a lender would need you to send collateral before it sends you anything. Real crypto lenders lock collateral inside a platform you can audit, with clear liquidation rules. Trade Lend simply asks for a transfer. If you have sent crypto there, gather the transaction hashes, the wallet addresses and the Telegram chats, and report them to your exchange and to Action Fraud or your local police.
