  • Guardian Project: case file from our team

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

    Why Guardian Project is on our Watchlist

    Guardian Project 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.

    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.

  • Fresh vegetable garden: case file from our team

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

    Reported activity

    Fresh vegetable garden has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Thailand – Securities and Exchange Commission). reported 2025-09-16. Jurisdiction: Thailand. 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 Fresh vegetable garden 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.
