Watchlist case file: Afex Markets. The story the front-end tells does not match the signal coming back from the chain.

How losses unfold
Clients who reach the Cryptosenti desk after Afex Markets typically describe being introduced through a messaging app, a social DM, or a referral from someone they thought they knew.
Red flags on file
- Opaque ownership. No verifiable corporate filing, no named principals, no auditable office address.
- Cloned legitimacy. Branding, language, and design lifted from real regulated brokers to inherit perceived credibility.
- Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
If you have already engaged
If you have already deposited with Afex Markets, stop sending more — even if a final fee will supposedly unlock your balance. That is the pattern that drains the rest.
Preserve every artifact: chat transcripts, deposit confirmations, withdrawal denials, KYC submissions. The trace report is built from these.
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.
