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.
- Registration, address and ownership details are vague, borrowed or unverifiable.
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.
