  • Watchlist entry · Cloning of Vontobel Asset Management S.A.

    The Cryptoblackbird investigations desk logs operators that behave like investment fraud rather than legitimate brokerages. Cloning of Vontobel Asset Management S.A. fits that pattern. What follows is our case summary and the recovery path we recommend.

    What the record shows

    Cloning of Vontobel Asset Management S.A. has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Luxembourg – Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). reported 2024-04-19. Jurisdiction: Luxembourg. 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/

    Red flags our analysts noted

    • 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.

    What to do next

    Gather everything you can: transaction records, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, and any messages with the platform’s representatives. This evidence is what makes a recovery effort actionable, and it is the first thing our team reviews.

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If Cloning of Vontobel Asset Management S.A. 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: Digital-AssetPro (Imposter)

    Digital-AssetPro (Imposter) 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.

    The concern in brief

    Digital-AssetPro (Imposter) has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (New Zealand – Financial Markets Authority). reported 2025-11-03. Jurisdiction: New Zealand. 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

    • 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.

    Recovering funds sent to Digital-AssetPro (Imposter)

    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.

    Gather everything you can: transaction records, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, and any messages with the platform’s representatives. This evidence is what makes a recovery effort actionable, and it is the first thing our team reviews.

  • HIVE Mining Tech Ltd. — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

    HIVE Mining Tech Ltd. has been added to the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist after our analysts logged behaviour consistent with a high-risk trading operation. The profile below sets out what we found, why the platform raised flags, and the steps available to anyone who has already sent funds.

    Why HIVE Mining Tech Ltd. is on our Watchlist

    HIVE Mining Tech Ltd. has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Ontario – Ontario Securities Commission). reported 2023-03-21. Jurisdiction: Ontario. 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

    • 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.
    • 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.

    If you have already deposited

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If HIVE Mining Tech Ltd. 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.
