  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Kawano and Associates

    We opened a file on Kawano and Associates 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.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Kawano and Associates
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Ireland – Central Bank of Ireland)
    • 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.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Alpen Asset Management Trust Sàrl

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

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Alpen Asset Management Trust Sàrl
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authori
    • 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

    • 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.
    • 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.

    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.

    Were you in this case?

    If Alpen Asset Management Trust Sàrl took money from you, do not face it alone. Share what happened and let our team map the realistic paths forward.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Payment Solutions (clone of FCA authorised firm)

    Our signal desk has flagged Payment Solutions (clone of FCA authorised firm) 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: Payment Solutions (clone of FCA authorised firm)
    • 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

    • 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

    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.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: ABESIX

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

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Ads Securites

    Ads Securites 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: Ads Securites
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Hong Kong – Securities and Futures Commission)
    • 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

    • 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.

    • The ‘account manager’ is friendly, always available, and always steering you toward another deposit.

    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: United States Trading Commission

    • 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

    • 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.

    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.
