KTT Transfers in Trade Finance Are Scams
Over the years, countless promoters have marketed fake schemes under labels like “KTT,” “IPIP,” “IPID,” or “manual MT103/202 downloads.” They promise multi-million-dollar transfers that never clear. These are not banking transactions, and no licensed institution recognizes them. This page explains why such offers are fraudulent, how to identify them, and what legitimate capital-raising alternatives exist.
Fact:
If a transaction cannot be authenticated through SWIFT, RTGS, or a regulated payment rail, it is not real. KTT and IPIP are fabrications used in advance-fee scams.

Inflated face values unrelated to any real balance sheet |

Promise of a “release” after a small activation fee |
| Escrow and security |

3. Disclosure and Conduct
- Fake promoters avoid formal bank authentication.
- They pressure for fees before any compliance review.
- They communicate only on chat apps, never on bank email domains.
- They cannot provide a verifiable SWIFT BIC or correspondent reference.
4. How to Recognize the Scam Pattern
- Promises of “billions” in heritage or platform funds.
- Requests for unlock fees or compliance deposits.
- References to obsolete systems like KTT or DTC cash wires.
- Claims that settlement will occur after viewing a “server screen.”
Conclusion:
There is no legitimate trade finance, project finance, or banking transaction using KTT, IPIP, or IPID codes. They are tools used by fraudsters to collect fees under false pretenses. Do not engage, do not pay, and do not share your company documents.
