Saphire Q-Trade (no relation to Qtrade Direct Investing) has been flagged on the SARFund registry as a reported pig-butchering romance scam. Victim submissions describe a familiar pattern: an initial small deposit that “performs”, followed by escalating top-ups and a final wall when withdrawal is requested.

Across the verified submissions, three red flags repeat: the broker rebranded under multiple domains in succession, demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal, and blocked withdrawal requests. None of these are unique to Saphire Q-Trade (no relation to Qtrade Direct Investing) — they are the structural fingerprint of this scam typology.

Channels through which Saphire Q-Trade (no relation to Qtrade Direct Investing) has been reported include direct victim submissions through SARFund, Google Search complaints, and Facebook group reports. SARFund cross-references new submissions against existing reports before adding evidence to the case file.

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.
