  • Shaketraders — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

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

    Why Shaketraders is on our Watchlist

    Shaketraders has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (British Columbia – British Columbia Securities Commission). reported 2023-06-16. Jurisdiction: British Columbia. 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

    • 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.
    • 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.

    If you have already deposited

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If Shaketraders 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.

  • Case file: IQBrokerFx

    IQBrokerFx has been added to the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist after our analysts logged behaviour consistent with a high-risk trading operation. The profile below sets out what we found, why the platform raised flags, and the steps available to anyone who has already sent funds.

    What the record shows

    IQBrokerFx has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United States of America – Securities and Exchange Commission). reported 2026-06-04. Jurisdiction: United States of America. 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 IQBrokerFx

    Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If IQBrokerFx 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.

  • Lakeshore Private Equity LLP — on the Cryptoblackbird Watchlist

    Lakeshore Private Equity LLP 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.

    Why Lakeshore Private Equity LLP is on our Watchlist

    Lakeshore Private Equity LLP has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United States of America – Securities and Exchange Commission). reported 2026-06-04. Jurisdiction: United States of America. 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.

    • 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.

    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.
