  • Tezix: case file from our team

    Our team opened a case file on Tezix 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

    Tezix has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (New Zealand – Financial Markets Authority). reported 2025-09-15. 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.

    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.

  • Case file: SFM UK Management LLP (Clone)

    If you searched for SFM UK Management LLP (Clone) you likely want a straight answer about whether it is safe. Based on the evidence our analysts have gathered, SFM UK Management LLP (Clone) is a platform to avoid — and if you have already deposited, this page explains what to do next.

    What the record shows

    SFM UK Management LLP (Clone) has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Belgium – Financial Services and Markets Authority). reported 2026-03-27. Jurisdiction: Belgium. 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/

    How this operation typically works

    • 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.
    • 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.

    Recovering funds sent to SFM UK Management LLP (Clone)

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If SFM UK Management LLP (Clone) 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.
