  • MentorshipTradeGroup: case file from our team

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

    Why MentorshipTradeGroup is on our Watchlist

    MentorshipTradeGroup has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Singapore – Monetary Authority of Singapore). reported 2026-03-30. Jurisdiction: Singapore. 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

    • 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.

    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 MentorshipTradeGroup 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.

  • Stronghold Mergers & Acquisition Regulatory Board: case file from our team

    The Cryptoblackbird investigations desk logs operators that behave like investment fraud rather than legitimate brokerages. Stronghold Mergers & Acquisition Regulatory Board fits that pattern. What follows is our case summary and the recovery path we recommend.

    Stronghold Mergers & Acquisition Regulatory Board has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United States of America – Securities and Exchange Commission). reported 2026-06-04.

    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.
