The Watchlist — case files on reported broker sites.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Expertiseprovest

    Expertiseprovest reached our desk through victim intake and open warning lists. Read the signals together and it reads as a fake trading platform, not a regulated firm.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Expertiseprovest
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • 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

    • 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

    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.

    Were you caught by Expertiseprovest? A short case review is the fastest way to understand whether any of the funds can be traced.

  • TraderMade: signal report from the Cryptosenti desk

    TraderMade pitches itself as a polished destination for digital-asset trading. The corroborating evidence does not pass a normal due-diligence read.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator TraderMade
    Public domain tradermade.com
    Reported website https://tradermade.com/
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    Investors who land on TraderMade usually describe a familiar arc — a friendly first conversation, a small profitable test trade, then escalating deposit pressure once the relationship feels safe.

    Red flags on file

    • Regulator silence. TraderMade either claims a license that cannot be cross-checked, or names a regulator that has never heard of the entity.
    • Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.
    • Engineered urgency. Live-trade rooms, expiring tier upgrades, and account managers pushing same-day deposits.

    If you have already engaged

    Open a case with the Cryptosenti Brooklyn desk. We will assess scope within one business day and tell you straight whether recovery is realistic.

    Document everything you have: wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots described in text, the exact account-manager handles, and dates. The Cryptosenti desk works from this evidence.

    Cryptosenti never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.

    The desk is at 10 Grand Street, Brooklyn. Open a case and we will read your file.

    Were you in this case?

    If TraderMade is part of your story, the Cryptosenti desk reads every signal that comes in. One business day to a scope assessment from the Brooklyn office.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Suscap Ag

    Intelligence gathered on Suscap Ag 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: Suscap Ag
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authori
    • 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

    • The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authori).
    • 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.

    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?

    If any of this matches your experience with Suscap Ag, our recovery team can review your case and tell you honestly what options exist.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Stageonline Crypto Investments

    Our signal desk has flagged Stageonline Crypto Investments 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: Stageonline Crypto Investments
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Australia – Australian Securities and Investments Commis
    • 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

    • 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.
    • Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.

    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: MACLEAR AG

    MACLEAR AG reached our desk through victim intake and open warning lists. Read the signals together and it reads as a fake trading platform, not a regulated firm.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: MACLEAR AG
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Spain – Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores)
    • 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.

    Red flags on file

    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.
    • 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.

    If you have already engaged

    Save what you have and act while the trail is warm. Chain analysis and regulated-venue engagement can sometimes recover part of a loss – but only honest expectations and solid documentation make that possible.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: B-Smartfolio Inc.

    Intelligence gathered on B-Smartfolio Inc. 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: B-Smartfolio Inc.
    • Flagged by: FSMA Belgium
    • 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

    • 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.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Invest Dominate Group

    Invest Dominate Group is on the Cryptosenti watchlist. What we listen for on the chain and hear from victims lines up: this looks like a platform built to separate people from their funds.

  • FUN (UK) Ltd: signal report from the Cryptosenti desk

    FUN (UK) Ltd reads like a regulated venue from the homepage. Step one click deeper and the signal flips.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator FUN (UK) Ltd
    Public domain introsaas.com
    Reported website https://introsaas.com/about
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    The Cryptosenti casebook on operators like FUN (UK) Ltd reads the same way every time: bonded trust, painted profit, friction the moment money tries to come home.

    Red flags on file

    • Regulator silence. FUN (UK) Ltd either claims a license that cannot be cross-checked, or names a regulator that has never heard of the entity.
    • Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
    • Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.

    If you have already engaged

    Open a case with the Cryptosenti Brooklyn desk. We will assess scope within one business day and tell you straight whether recovery is realistic.

    Document everything you have: wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots described in text, the exact account-manager handles, and dates. The Cryptosenti desk works from this evidence.

    Cryptosenti never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.

    If you suspect FUN (UK) Ltd drained funds you cannot recover on your own: file a case. One business day to a scope assessment.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Safe Assurance (clone of previously EEA Authorised firm)

    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.

    If you have already engaged
