The five moves every fake broker makes
0 new operators entered the registry in the last 90 days. Different names, same playbook — if you recognize even one of these, stop and report it.
- The dashboard grows. Your balance climbs daily. Fake growth is the bait — the numbers are typed in, not traded.
- The withdrawal wall. A “tax”, “AML clearance” or “fraud score” fee appears between you and your own money. The fee IS the scam.
- The bleed. Every payment unlocks a new fee. Real withdrawals never work this way.
- The drain. They “help” you connect a wallet or ask for your seed phrase. That hands them everything.
- The second scam. A “recovery agent” appears, promising your money back for an upfront fee — often the same crew. Verified cases are escalated through the SARFund registry, never sold by cold callers.
The market is real. Make sure the broker is.

How a check works
Type the name
We check it against thousands of case records — exact matches and near-spellings, because scam operators clone and re-spell brands constantly.
Read the record
Cleared, Caution or Flagged, with an evidence grade. Every result reads from the case registry — facts on file, not an algorithmic guess.
Follow the case
Flagged operators deep-link their SARFund case file, and every report is checked against the SARFund registry — the escalation body for verified fraud reports.
Every verdict cites its source.
Veribeacon reads from a live case registry and cites the SARFund case registry on every result. SARFund is the escalation body for verified fraud reports — if a case is already under investigation, that is where it lives. Already sent money? Check the registry now.
