  • AI App: case file from our team

    Our team opened a case file on AI App 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.

    Reported activity

    AI App has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (New Zealand – Financial Markets Authority). reported 2026-03-09. 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/

    Red flags our analysts noted

    • 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.
    • Account managers apply pressure — urgency, bonuses, or threats of “losing your position” — to keep you paying in.

    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 AI App 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.

  • Smart Invest Studios — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

    Smart Invest Studios 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.

    Reported activity

    Smart Invest Studios has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2025-02-06. 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

    • 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.
    • A dashboard shows fast, unrealistic profits to encourage larger and larger deposits, while the underlying funds are never actually invested.

    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.
