  • Watchlist entry · PipPotential

    Our team opened a case file on PipPotential following reports and warning-list entries that point to a fraudulent brokerage. This page summarises the concerns on record and what recovery options look like for affected clients.

    What the record shows

    PipPotential has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2025-10-30. 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/

    How this operation typically works

    • 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.
    • A dashboard shows fast, unrealistic profits to encourage larger and larger deposits, while the underlying funds are never actually invested.
    • Support goes quiet, contact numbers stop working, or the website disappears once a withdrawal is requested.

    Recovering funds sent to PipPotential

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If PipPotential 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.

  • Case file: Epictradespace Trade

    Epictradespace Trade appears to be the latest brand wrapping the same tired crypto-broker playbook in fresh packaging.

    INTEL SHEET

    Operator Epictradespace Trade
    Public website https://www.epictradespace.com/
    Stated HQ undisclosed
    Regulators no verifiable regulator on file
    Broker type unspecified

    How losses unfold

    Withdrawal attempts from Epictradespace Trade typically generate the same response set: identity verification loops, “risk reviews,” and surprise fees that conveniently land at exactly the amount of remaining balance.

    Red flags on file

    • Withdrawal friction. Funds go in cleanly; coming back out triggers a sudden cascade of fees, taxes, and verification demands.
    • Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.

    If you’ve already engaged

    If you have already deposited with Epictradespace Trade, stop sending more — even if a “final fee” will supposedly unlock your balance. That is the pattern that drains the rest.

    Do not engage with anyone offering recovery in exchange for upfront fees, gift cards, or your seed phrase. We never ask for any of those, and neither does any legitimate recovery service.

    Cryptoblackbird never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.

    If you suspect Epictradespace Trade drained funds you cannot recover on your own, our team reads every signal: file a case.

  • Case file: DeltaEdge Capital (Europe) AG

    If you searched for DeltaEdge Capital (Europe) AG you likely want a straight answer about whether it is safe. Based on the evidence our analysts have gathered, DeltaEdge Capital (Europe) AG is a platform to avoid — and if you have already deposited, this page explains what to do next.

    The concern in brief

    DeltaEdge Capital (Europe) AG has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority). reported 2025-01-28. Jurisdiction: Switzerland. 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

    • The brand name, address, or regulatory claims do not match any official register, and reviews describe the same withdrawal problems.
    • A dashboard shows fast, unrealistic profits to encourage larger and larger deposits, while the underlying funds are never actually invested.
    • 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.

    What to do next

    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.

    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.

  • First Finance FX: case file from our team

    First Finance FX markets aggressively, regulates ambiguously, and answers concrete questions in vague metaphors. That is the pattern.

    INTEL SHEET

    Operator First Finance FX
    Public website https://firstfinancefx.com/
    Stated HQ undisclosed
    Regulators no verifiable regulator on file

    How losses unfold

    Withdrawal attempts from First Finance FX typically generate the same response set: identity verification loops, “risk reviews,” and surprise fees that conveniently land at exactly the amount of remaining balance.

    Red flags on file

    • Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
    • Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.

  • Watchlist entry · HURWITZ VANDENBROUCKE & ASSOCIATES, INC

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

    The concern in brief

    HURWITZ VANDENBROUCKE & ASSOCIATES, INC has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2024-05-17. 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 HURWITZ VANDENBROUCKE & ASSOCIATES, INC

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If HURWITZ VANDENBROUCKE & ASSOCIATES, INC 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.
