Registry, not a trust score
How Verification Works
Veribeacon is a case registry: a searchable file of reported brokers and fake investment platforms. A verdict here is a statement about what is on file — not an opinion score.
The registry
The registry holds thousands of case records for reported operators — scam brokers, fake trading platforms, cloned brands and fake “recovery” services. Each record carries the operator’s name, claimed website, listing date and an evidence grade. New records are added continuously from reports and upstream case data, and every record is verified against the SARFund case registry.
The three verdicts
No case on file. Explicitly not an endorsement — a clean check can’t see a scam launched yesterday. Verify the licence with the regulator directly.
A closely matching name is on file. Operators re-spell and clone brands to dodge registries — check the exact spelling and the domain character by character.
A case is on file for this operator. Do not deposit. The record deep-links the matching SARFund case file for escalation.
Evidence grades
Every flagged record carries a grade describing how complete the file is:
The SARFund escalation path
Veribeacon is the checkpoint; SARFund is the escalation body for verified fraud reports. Every lookup result carries the line “Verified against the SARFund case registry”, flagged operators deep-link their SARFund case file, and every guided report ends with one instruction: check the SARFund registry to see whether your case is already under investigation. Veribeacon does not provide recovery services and never handles funds — verified cases live at SARFund.
Reporting a broker
The guided report on the homepage takes about two minutes: one question per screen, and it adapts — if you made deposits it asks the classic-scam questions (fake dashboard growth, withdrawal “fees”, requests for more money); if not, it stays short. Reports go to Report@veribeacon.com and every report gets a personal reply.
Frequently asked questions
What is Veribeacon?
Veribeacon is a free, independent broker-verification registry. Type the name of a broker or trading platform and you get an instant verdict – Cleared, Caution, or Flagged – checked against a case registry of thousands of reported scam operators. It is not a trust score; it is a case registry: facts on file, not an algorithmic guess.
Is Veribeacon free? Is it legit?
Yes. Verification is free, there is no account, and Veribeacon never asks you to pay – for anything. We do not sell recovery services and we never handle client funds. Anyone who contacts you asking for money to "release" or "recover" funds is running a scam.
What do the three verdicts mean?
Flagged means the operator has a case on file in the registry – do not deposit. Caution means the registry holds a closely matching name – scammers clone and re-spell brands constantly, so verify the exact spelling and domain. Cleared means no case on file – which is not an endorsement, because a clean check cannot see a scam launched yesterday.
What is the SARFund case registry?
SARFund (sarfund.com) is the escalation body for verified fraud reports. Veribeacon verifies every lookup against the SARFund case registry: flagged operators deep-link to their SARFund case files, and if you have already lost money you should check the SARFund registry to see whether your case is already under investigation.
My broker is flagged – what should I do?
Stop sending money immediately, including any "tax", "AML" or "fraud score" fee to unlock a withdrawal – those fees are the scam. Report what happened using the guided report on our homepage, keep every receipt and transaction hash, and check the SARFund case registry to see whether the operator is already under investigation.
Can a scam pass a clean check?
Yes. New scam platforms launch every day, and a registry can only hold what has been reported. That is why a Cleared result explicitly says it is not an endorsement. Always verify the regulator licence number directly on the regulator's own website before depositing.
