  • Watchlist entry · Plusinvesting

    Our team opened a case file on Plusinvesting 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.

    The concern in brief

    Plusinvesting has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Alberta – Alberta Securities Commission). reported 2025-01-27. Jurisdiction: Alberta. 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

    • 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.

    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.

  • Overseas Investors Information Network: case file from our team

    The Cryptoblackbird investigations desk logs operators that behave like investment fraud rather than legitimate brokerages. Overseas Investors Information Network fits that pattern. What follows is our case summary and the recovery path we recommend.

    Why Overseas Investors Information Network is on our Watchlist

    Overseas Investors Information Network has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United States of America – Securities and Exchange Commission). reported 2026-06-04. Jurisdiction: United States of America. 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.

    • 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.

  • Case file: TraderVesta

    TraderVesta 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.

    The concern in brief

    TraderVesta has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Ireland – Central Bank of Ireland). reported 2024-12-18. Jurisdiction: Ireland. 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 TraderVesta

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