Explainers — Scam and Fraud

Anjouan gaming licences: hundreds of thin shells

Anjouan’s public gaming register is crowded with numbered shells — a licence logo is not a consumer shield.

A Telegram “Manpower” contract with faxed stamps is not how a major staffing group places workers abroad.

Numerology charts and “energy” talk do not audit a franchise — they make questioning feel like bad vibes.

An unsolicited “lawyer” who already knows your loss amount is selling a second fee, not a court order.

When a trading desk changes its brand every few days, the product is usually the deposit — not the market.

A polished site that name-drops Interpol and Europol is still a private landing page until you can verify the firm.

A risk opinion is not a court finding — and a guest rant is not gospel either.

Anyone who promises to claw crypto back for an upfront fee is selling a sequel, not a brief.

Teaching tools is fine; guaranteeing two-to-threefold income is a different product.

A Telegram “copy desk” that rebrands overnight and then invents an insurance code for withdrawals is selling deposits, not a track record.

Not every sharp review is a court finding — and not every “unproven” label makes a dangerous pitch safe.

A messenger app with a real website can still run a high-pressure retail equity story that deserves ordinary securities scepticism.
