Top 200+ Scam Investment Platforms of 2025 – The Ultimate Alert by Forteclaim
Introduction
The cryptocurrency and online investment world continues to grow at breakneck speed. New exchanges, AI trading platforms, and forex brokers are popping up daily, offering promises of high returns and quick profits. Unfortunately, this boom has attracted sophisticated scammers who exploit unsuspecting investors. In 2025, scams are no longer just “get rich quick” traps—they are well-branded, professional-looking operations designed to gain trust and extract funds over time.
These scams range from fake crypto exchanges and offshore forex brokers to AI-powered trading platforms and pig-butchering operations targeting victims via social media, dating apps, or even fake alumni networks. Once trust is established, victims deposit funds, only to find withdrawals blocked and customer support non-existent.
At Forteclaim , we specialize in tracking, investigating, and helping victims recover funds from fraudulent platforms. The following blog compiles a list of over 200 scam platforms active or flagged in 2025, along with insights from victim reports and guidance on how to protect yourself.
How These Scams Operate
Most fraudulent platforms follow a predictable pattern:
- Professional-Looking Websites: Scammers mimic real exchanges or brokers to appear trustworthy.
- Promises of Unrealistic Returns: “Guaranteed profits,” “AI-powered gains,” and “no-risk investing” are red flags.
- No Licensing or Oversight: Many claim to be regulated but provide fake certificates.
- Trust Building: Pig-butchering scams involve weeks of communication, sometimes through social media or dating apps, to gain emotional trust.
- Blocked Withdrawals: When investors attempt to withdraw, excuses such as “tax clearance” or “KYC issues” are used to trap funds.
- Disappearance: Platforms shut down, domains change, and customer service disappears.
