Trade The Bit has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Alberta – Alberta Securities Commission). reported 2024-04-02. Jurisdiction: Alberta.

Warning signs to recognise
- Support goes quiet, contact numbers stop working, or the website disappears once a withdrawal is requested.
- New deposits are requested through crypto, wire, or gift cards — channels that are hard to reverse once funds leave your account.
- Account managers apply pressure — urgency, bonuses, or threats of “losing your position” — to keep you paying in.
- Clients are steered toward connecting a wallet, installing remote-access software, or sharing a seed phrase — none of which a legitimate broker would ever require.
