Spot a Scam

Before you deposit

Spot a scam broker.

Tick every sign you recognise. The more that apply, the higher the risk — a guide to help you decide, not a verdict.

The broker isn’t regulated — or names a regulator you can’t verify on the regulator’s own website.You were first contacted out of the blue — a DM, text, call, or dating app.They promise guaranteed, “risk-free” or unusually high returns.You’re pressured to deposit quickly or to “lock in” a bonus.Withdrawals are blocked behind sudden “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges.The name closely mimics a well-known, licensed firm (a possible clone).They only accept cryptocurrency or other hard-to-trace payments.There’s no verifiable company name, registered address or licence number.An “account manager” keeps pushing you to deposit more.The website is brand new, vague, or has no real contact details.
