  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Ivv Asset Management Bv

    A review of Ivv Asset Management Bv places it squarely in scam-broker territory. The tells are the ones we see again and again in crypto-investment fraud.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Ivv Asset Management Bv
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    The losses build quietly. Each step feels reasonable in the moment, but the whole structure is designed so the exit door is locked exactly when you reach for it.

    Red flags on file

    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.
    • Withdrawals are delayed, then blocked behind a ‘tax’, ‘anti-money-laundering’ or ‘fraud-score’ fee.
    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.

    If you have already engaged

    If you have already sent funds, stop sending more and preserve everything: transaction hashes, receipts, chat logs, names and links. Those records are what a recovery review actually works from.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Market Makers Insider

    When we trace the signals around Market Makers Insider, the noise resolves into a familiar pattern of deposit-and-stall fraud. We are documenting it here so people can recognise it before they send more.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Market Makers Insider
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Australia – Australian Securities and Investments Commis
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    The arc is predictable. Early wins that look effortless, gentle encouragement to add more, then a wall the moment you try to withdraw. By the time the wall appears, the balance you are staring at is a screen, not money.

    Red flags on file

    • A dashboard shows large, steady profits that no real market produces on demand.
    • Registration, address and ownership details are vague, borrowed or unverifiable.
    • The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (Australia – Australian Securities and Investments Commis).
    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.

    If you have already engaged

    Recovery is never guaranteed, but the odds improve the faster the money is traced and the cleaner your records are. Keep the wallet addresses, dates and amounts; avoid anyone promising a certain refund for an upfront payment.

    Were you in this case?

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: 2r Capitallimited

    Intelligence gathered on 2r Capitallimited points to a high-risk operation. The name appears alongside classic fraud markers, and the money trail rarely leads anywhere a victim can reach.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: 2r Capitallimited
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    Victims describe the same slide: a confident pitch, a demo that ‘works’, bigger and bigger deposits, and finally a payout that is always one more fee away. The profits were never leaving the platform.

    Red flags on file

    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.
    • Withdrawals are delayed, then blocked behind a ‘tax’, ‘anti-money-laundering’ or ‘fraud-score’ fee.
    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.

    If you have already engaged

    If you engaged with this platform, treat any new ‘recovery agent’ who contacts you first with suspicion. Real help starts from your evidence and an honest assessment, not a guarantee and a fee.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Primonial Group

    Primonial Group surfaced on our watchlist through a mix of investor reports and regulator signals. On the evidence we hold, it behaves like a scam platform engineered to take deposits and block withdrawals.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Primonial Group
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist

    • The ‘account manager’ is friendly, always available, and always steering you toward another deposit.
    • A dashboard shows large, steady profits that no real market produces on demand.
    • Registration, address and ownership details are vague, borrowed or unverifiable.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Capital Trust Ventures

    Our signal desk has flagged Capital Trust Ventures after cross-checking chain activity, marketing patterns and public warnings. The picture that emerges is consistent with a fraudulent trading operation rather than a legitimate broker.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Capital Trust Ventures
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    Victims describe the same slide: a confident pitch, a demo that ‘works’, bigger and bigger deposits, and finally a payout that is always one more fee away. The profits were never leaving the platform.

    Red flags on file

    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.
    • Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.
    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.

    If you have already engaged

    The most important step now is to stop the bleed and document. Do not pay a ‘release fee’ – that is the same scam wearing a second mask. Gather your evidence and let a real team assess the trail.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Pearl Diamonds

    Pearl Diamonds surfaced on our watchlist through a mix of investor reports and regulator signals. On the evidence we hold, it behaves like a scam platform engineered to take deposits and block withdrawals.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Pearl Diamonds
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    It moves from curiosity to commitment fast. A helpful ‘account manager’, a chart that only goes up, and a sense that stopping now would waste the gains. The gains are fictional; only the deposits are real.

    Red flags on file

    • The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (France – Autorité des marchés financiers)).
    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Libertyskyltd

    Our signal desk has flagged Libertyskyltd after cross-checking chain activity, marketing patterns and public warnings. The picture that emerges is consistent with a fraudulent trading operation rather than a legitimate broker.

    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Spain – Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    People rarely lose it all at once. They lose it in stages, each justified by a dashboard that keeps promising the withdrawal will clear as soon as the next requirement is met.

    Red flags on file

    • Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.
    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Property Wealth Ltd

    We opened a file on Property Wealth Ltd after the same red flags kept repeating: unrealistic returns, pressure to deposit more, and withdrawals that never clear. This is the signature of an investment scam, not a real market.

    • Operator: Lukas Kantor Securities
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    It usually starts small. A modest deposit shows a tidy profit on a slick dashboard, someone friendly checks in, and the account ‘grows’. The numbers on screen are not backed by anything real, and the good feeling is the bait.

    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.
    • Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.
