  • Sssssx: case file from our team

    Cryptoblackbird tracks brokers and platforms that surface on regulator warning lists and in victim reports. Sssssx is one of them. Below is our review of the operator and guidance for recovering money already paid in.

    Why Sssssx is on our Watchlist

    Sssssx has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Hong Kong – Securities and Futures Commission). reported 2020-08-21. Jurisdiction: Hong Kong. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/

    Warning signs to recognise

    • 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.
    • Withdrawals stall, get delayed, or are blocked behind sudden “tax”, “insurance”, or “anti-money-laundering” fees — money you should never have to pay to access your own balance.
    • The company cannot show a verifiable licence in the jurisdiction where it solicits clients.
    • The brand name, address, or regulatory claims do not match any official register, and reviews describe the same withdrawal problems.

    If you have already deposited

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If Sssssx is demanding more money before releasing your funds, that demand is itself the strongest confirmation of the fraud. Our analysts can review your case and lay out the realistic next steps.

    Recovery is never guaranteed, but a documented, well-traced case has a materially better chance than one left to go cold. Cryptoblackbird’s team specialises in tracing crypto-based fraud and coordinating the recovery process from there.

  • Watchlist entry · Coinrush FX

    Cryptoblackbird tracks brokers and platforms that surface on regulator warning lists and in victim reports. Coinrush FX is one of them. Below is our review of the operator and guidance for recovering money already paid in.

    The concern in brief

    Coinrush FX has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2026-04-20. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/

    The pattern we see again and again

    • 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.
    • Withdrawals stall, get delayed, or are blocked behind sudden “tax”, “insurance”, or “anti-money-laundering” fees — money you should never have to pay to access your own balance.

    Recovering funds sent to Coinrush FX

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If Coinrush FX is demanding more money before releasing your funds, that demand is itself the strongest confirmation of the fraud. Our analysts can review your case and lay out the realistic next steps.

  • Case file: Investor Guard

    Investor Guard caught our team’s attention for a familiar reason: the operation shows the hallmarks of an unlicensed platform built to take deposits rather than return them. Here is what the Cryptoblackbird desk has on file.

    What the record shows

    Investor Guard has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2020-07-07. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom.

    Red flags our analysts noted

    • Account managers apply pressure — urgency, bonuses, or threats of “losing your position” — to keep you paying in.

    • The company cannot show a verifiable licence in the jurisdiction where it solicits clients.

    If you have already deposited

    Acting quickly matters. The sooner a case is opened, the more options exist for tracing funds and engaging the right institutions. Stop any further payments immediately — additional “release” or “tax” fees are part of the same scheme and will not free your balance.
