Reported Brokers & Platforms
This page highlights online brokers, exchanges and “investment” platforms that have been connected to scam activity in cases handled by AssetsCollector or reported by victims. It is not a complete global list, but it can help you spot obvious red flags before you send any funds.
Type the broker or platform name as you know it. If you don’t find it here, it does not mean the platform is safe — only that it hasn’t been listed on this page yet.
The brokers and platforms below come from cases and victim reports handled by AssetsCollector.com. Each entry includes the information we typically look at when evaluating risk: domains, claimed location, contact channels and known tactics.
Type the broker or platform name in the search box above and press Search. Any matching brokers will appear here.

Listing here means a broker or platform has been connected to at least one scam-related case or report. It does not guarantee that every user of the platform has been scammed, and absence from this list does not mean a platform is safe. Always treat unsolicited “investment opportunities” as high risk.
A broker or platform being listed here means we have seen it connected to scam activity in at least one case or victim report. It does not automatically mean that every person using the platform has been scammed.
Likewise, if a platform is not listed here, that does not mean it is safe. Many scams operate under constantly changing names, domains and app front-ends.
If you believe you’ve been scammed by a broker or platform, or you are seeing red flags, you can send us a report so we can log it and check for links to existing cases.
Submitting a report does not automatically start a full investigation, but it helps us connect dots between multiple victims and the same scam network.
Whether the name appears on this page or not, you can share your story and evidence with us. We’ll review what happened, trace the flow of funds where possible and explain your realistic options before you decide what to do next.
AssetsCollector.com cannot guarantee recovery and does not provide investment advice. Every case depends on the available evidence, on-chain activity and cooperation from third-party platforms.
