Overview

Investment scams often rely on repeated fees, pressure tactics, and fake dashboards. Your report should focus on verifiable proof: deposits, platform identifiers, and blocked withdrawals.

What to prepare

• Screenshots of platform dashboard and withdrawal attempts • Chats/emails with the ‘broker/agent’ and fee demands • Payment confirmations (bank/card/exchange/crypto) • Platform links, ads, recruiter profiles

Steps

• Capture withdrawal blocks: Screenshot errors, messages, and support responses. • Map fee demands: List each fee request with date + proof. • Collect platform identifiers: Domain, app name, account ID, recruiter handles.
