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.
