Methodology: how we detect and verify

Detection

Every day our team reviews the investment ads shown to real users in dozens of countries. Many of these campaigns hide their content from automated systems, so the review is manual and done from each country.

What we record

For each ad we record the date, country, platform name, impersonated celebrities or media, the landing page and, where possible, the broker users are sent to. Everything is documented with dated screenshots.

Review before publishing

No page is published without human review. We merge name variations of the same platform and only ask search engines to index pages with enough evidence.

What we don’t do

We never charge the platforms or brokers we analyse, we do not sell positions in our lists and we do not offer "fund recovery" services.
