St Andrews Group: case file from our team
The Cryptoblackbird investigations desk logs operators that behave like investment fraud rather than legitimate brokerages. St Andrews Group fits that pattern. What follows is our case summary and the recovery path we recommend.
Why St Andrews Group is on our Watchlist
St Andrews Group has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Hong Kong – Securities and Futures Commission). reported 2022-02-09. 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/
The pattern we see again and again
- 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.
