Victims have reported IBF through Reddit victim threads. The case is classified as a recovery-scam impersonator and was opened on the SARFund registry once corroboration thresholds were met.

Common across the case file: operators used unregulated celebrity endorsements and operated through impersonated KYC documents. These behaviours, combined with demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal, are the basis on which SARFund classified the platform as a verified scam broker.

Reports have surfaced via Reddit victim threads and Telegram channel testimonials, with corroborating threads on Quora question threads. Victim accounts converge on identical timelines and identical withdrawal-blockade tactics.

What evidence helps most

Transaction hashes (the on-chain proof of your deposit), screenshots of the broker dashboard, KYC documents you submitted, and full conversation history with any account manager. These four pieces let the partner build a defensible chain of custody.

Redaction policy

SARFund publishes the existence and status of each case but withholds operationally sensitive details. The recovery partner identity, exact victim count, recovered amount, and tagged wallet addresses are released only to verified claimants once the claim form is submitted and matched.
