The patterns we see most
Frozen-withdrawal “fee” trap
The balance rises, then a “release” or “tax” fee blocks every withdrawal. See a case →
Pig-butchering romance
A long online relationship steers you into a fake staking or trading product. See a case →
Cloned regulated firm
A real firm’s name and licence are cloned to take a “safe” bank wire. See a case →
Recovery-scam double-fraud
After a first loss, a fake “recovery agent” charges fees to “release” your money. See a case →
Signal-group pump
A Telegram group’s coordinated “signals” funnel you onto one platform. See a case →
“AI bot” / managed account
A bot or “desk” supposedly trades your crypto — it only ever leaves to wallets. See a case →
How to verify a platform before you deposit
- Search it here and in the Scam Brokers Database before sending a cent.
- Check any “regulator licence” on the regulator’s own website — not a link the platform sends.
- Treat any fee to withdraw your own balance as a scam, always.
- Distrust anyone who contacted you first with an investment or a “recovery” offer.
