iTrust Investment review: is itrustinvestment.com a scam?
Scametric verdict
High risk
itrustinvestment.com advertises discount brokerage and pastes FINRA 164193 / SEC 801-115048 — numbers that belong to iTrust Asset Management, LLC in Lexington, Kentucky, an LPL-affiliated RIA. The official footprint is itrustam.com, not this domain. Trustpilot already has ‘cannot withdraw’ complaints. We would not fund this website.
- Operator identity Website identity does not match the SEC/FINRA firm those numbers retrieve
- Regulator register CRD 164193 is iTrust Asset Management, LLC (Lexington KY, LPL). This domain is not that firm’s published site
- Economics of the offer Discount-broker marketing without a matching register website is a clone tell
- Withdrawals Many customers report blocked withdrawals, frozen accounts, and deposits they cannot get back
- Website claimed
- https://itrustinvestment.com
- Promised returns
- Online/mobile discount brokerage marketing; not a disclosed regulated product on this domain
- Minimum deposit
- Not independently verified on a regulator register for this URL
- Regulation claimed
- Site cites FINRA 164193 and SEC 801-115048; those IDs belong to a different, real RIA
- Pressure tactics
- Licence-number borrowing; Trustpilot reports of unanswered withdrawal requests
Blocked withdrawals and frozen accounts
On platforms in this class, many customers report they cannot withdraw once the amount is real. Typical complaints:
- withdrawal requests stay pending, get cancelled, or are never paid
- the login or trading account is blocked after a cash-out request
- the desk demands extra deposits, “verification”, liquidity, or tax before any payout
- the original deposit is lost
Do not send more money to release funds. Keep records and report the site. A first tiny payout is advertising for the next deposit.
Short answer: treat itrustinvestment.com as high risk. The terms page claims Itrust Investment LLC sits under Itrust Asset Management, FINRA 164193 and SEC 801-115048, as a mobile discount broker. Those numbers retrieve a real Kentucky RIA — not this domain. Public complaints already describe blocked withdrawals and money that does not come back.
What we checked
Identity
SEC AdviserInfo firm 164193 and the March 2026 Form CRS describe iTrust Asset Management, LLC, Lexington, KY (3320 Tates Creek Road), professionals as LPL Financial registered reps, contact Todd Stricklin, phone (859) 425-1222. Third-party profiles list the website as itrustam.com / LPL — not itrustinvestment.com.
When a yield-or-brokerage URL copies a CRD number, that is the clone pattern the FCA describes for UK firms and the SEC warns about in the US.
Permission to operate
We did not find this domain as the official website on the 164193 filing. Traders Reviews already flagged missing licences under this brand. Gridinsoft’s high automated score is not a substitute for a matching register URL.
The offer
Discount stock brokerage copy plus a pasted RIA number is how clones look “licensed.” A real RIA does not need a second mystery domain to take self-directed app deposits.
Withdrawals and customer reports
Customers already say they cannot get their money out. Trustpilot includes a one-star: “They are the worst scam… I can’t withdraw my money no one is answering.” The listing also carries Trustpilot’s high-risk investments notice. Combined with a cloned licence number, that is the pattern: deposit in, withdrawal blocked, deposit lost. Do not send more funds to unlock an account.
Red flags
- Regulator IDs that belong to another firm’s filing
- Different product (app broker) than the real RIA’s LPL advisory model
- Public “cannot withdraw” complaints
- Automated “safe” scores that never checked the CRD URL
Bottom line
If you want the Kentucky adviser, use AdviserInfo contacts, not this website. If you already funded itrustinvestment.com, stop, keep records, and report. Do not pay a fee to “unlock” an account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I withdraw my money?
Many customers report that they cannot. Withdrawal requests stall or are refused, accounts get blocked or frozen after a cash-out request, and the deposit does not come back. Support often asks for another payment, a “tax”, or a fee to “unlock” the balance. That is how the rest of the money is taken. A small first payout is advertising, not proof you can cash out later. Do not send more funds.
Is itrustinvestment.com a scam?
We rate the website high risk. It uses regulator numbers of a real Kentucky advisory firm whose public site and LPL affiliation do not match this domain. Combined with ‘can’t withdraw’ Trustpilot posts, that is clone-firm behaviour. This is not a finding against every business named iTrust.
Is iTrust Investment legit?
iTrust Asset Management, LLC (CRD 164193, SEC 801-115048) is a real SEC-registered adviser in Lexington, KY, with Form CRS on AdviserInfo. That firm’s professionals work through LPL. itrustinvestment.com claiming those numbers for an app-based discount broker is the mismatch.
Is itrustinvestment.com FINRA regulated?
Check BrokerCheck / AdviserInfo for the number, then confirm the website the register shows. If the URL is not the one on the filing, walk away. The CRS for 164193 points people to LPL disclosures and a Lexington office, not to this domain.
What should I do instead?
Open a brokerage account at a firm whose URL matches the SEC/FINRA record. We mention one option in the recommendation block, with a disclosure.
