SARFund Is the Bridge Between Victims and Verified Recovery Partners

We are not a recovery firm. We do not move funds, custody assets, or pursue civil action. SARFund operates as a neutral case registry and claim coordination layer — verifying victim claims, indexing reported scam brokers, and connecting verified victims to the independent recovery partner already working on their case.

What the name means

SARFUND = Stolen Asset Recovery Fund

SAR

Stolen Asset Recovery

The same framing used by law enforcement and the World Bank’s Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative for tracing and returning stolen money.

FUND

The coordinating network

A collective initiative connecting victims to vetted recovery partners. We never take custody of your money — “Fund” means the network, not a pool of cash we hold.

What we do

Index reported scam brokers

We aggregate complaints from Google, Reddit, Quora, Facebook and direct submissions into a single searchable case file per platform.

Verify victim claims

We match transaction evidence to existing case files and confirm claimant identity before forwarding to a partner.

Coordinate disbursements

When recovered funds are released by a partner, we publish anonymised totals and route eligible victims into the disbursement queue.

What we don’t do

Custody or move funds

SARFund never holds, transfers, or controls victim or recovered assets at any point.

Charge upfront fees

Claim submission and case lookup are free. Fees, if any, are negotiated directly between the victim and the assigned recovery partner.

Guarantee recovery

Outcomes depend entirely on the partner’s investigation and the realities of each case. We commit to honesty about what is and isn’t recoverable.

What is SARFUND? Frequently asked questions

What is SARFUND?

SARFUND (Stolen Asset Recovery Fund) is an independent public registry of reported crypto and forex scam brokers that connects victims of crypto fraud to vetted, independent recovery partners. It is an intermediary, not a recovery firm: it verifies reported operators, matches each claim to a suitable recovery partner, and coordinates the claim to resolution.

Is SARFUND legit and safe?

Yes. SARFUND is a transparent intermediary. It never asks victims for an up-front fee, never takes a percentage of recovered funds, and discloses recovery partners only after a claim is verified, which is the opposite of how recovery scams operate. Its funding model is published openly: SARFUND is paid by the recovery industry, not by victims.

What does SARFUND do?

It maintains a registry of more than 45,850 reported scam brokers so people can check a platform before investing, and it connects verified victims to a vetted recovery partner suited to their case.

Is SARFUND free?

Yes, for victims. Filing a claim, searching the registry, and being connected to a recovery partner are all free, with no up-front fees and no cut of any recovered funds.

How do I check if a broker is a scam on SARFUND?

Search the broker or platform name in the SARFUND Scam Brokers Database. If it is not listed yet, you can still submit it for a free check before depositing, because new scams appear every day.

Check your broker, then take the next step.
