  • EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE: case file from our team

    Cryptoblackbird tracks brokers and platforms that surface on regulator warning lists and in victim reports. EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE is one of them. Below is our review of the operator and guidance for recovering money already paid in.

    Why EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE is on our Watchlist

    EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority). reported 2025-07-29. Jurisdiction: Switzerland. 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.

    Recovering funds sent to EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If EAST BANQUE DE COMMERCE 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.

  • Case file: PIPSTRADEMARKETS GROUP

    PIPSTRADEMARKETS GROUP 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

    PIPSTRADEMARKETS GROUP has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2023-02-17. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. 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

    • 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.

    If you have already deposited

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

  • GoldPro SA — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

    GoldPro SA 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 GoldPro SA is on our Watchlist

    GoldPro SA has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority). reported 2026-05-04. Jurisdiction: Switzerland.

    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

  • Watchlist entry · HXFX

    Our team opened a case file on HXFX 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.

    What the record shows

    HXFX has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2022-02-17. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. 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.

    If you have already deposited

    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.
