  • Case file: stephane.dubois@montepio-direct.com

    stephane.dubois@montepio-direct.com 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.

    The concern in brief

    stephane.dubois@montepio-direct.com has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers). reported 2021-01-05. Jurisdiction: France. 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.

    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.

  • Finance and Service Limited — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

    If you searched for Finance and Service Limited you likely want a straight answer about whether it is safe. Based on the evidence our analysts have gathered, Finance and Service Limited is a platform to avoid — and if you have already deposited, this page explains what to do next.

    Reported activity

    Finance and Service Limited has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2021-02-17. 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

    • 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.

    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 Finance and Service Limited 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.
