Fake trading platforms
Apps that show you winning until you try to cash out — then the excuses start — follow a well-known script. We document your deposits and blocked withdrawals so you can decide on next steps.
Many trading scams use polished mobile apps or web dashboards with fake profit charts. Victims are encouraged to deposit more to 'unlock' withdrawals or pay fake taxes and compliance fees.
If you still have access, export screenshots and transaction lists. Note every payment method used — cards, wires, crypto, and e-transfers each leave different footprints.
Practical steps for Canadians — not legal advice. Outcomes vary; see our disclaimer.
Fraudulent apps show rising balances and history of 'winning trades.' When you request withdrawal, staff demand taxes, AML fees, or VIP upgrades — classic advance-fee patterns.
Some platforms clone legitimate broker branding. Check registration with provincial securities regulators before sending more money.
Save APK/IPA files, web URLs, and WHOIS lookups if available. Log every deposit: Interac, wire, card, or crypto.
Record names, phone numbers, and Telegram handles of 'account managers.'
Chargebacks, payment-processor complaints, and regulatory tips may apply depending on how you paid. We organize your file for those channels.
