FTX pitches itself as a forward-looking trading destination. The corroborating evidence does not survive contact with normal due-diligence checks.

How losses unfold
Investors who land on FTX typically describe a familiar arc: a friendly first conversation, a small profitable test trade, then escalating deposit pressure once the relationship feels “safe.”
Red flags on file
- Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.
- Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
If you’ve already engaged
If you have already deposited with FTX, 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 FTX drained funds you cannot recover on your own, our team reads every signal: file a case.
