The record

What the notices say

  • FCAA (Saskatchewan) Investor Alert of 31 Jul 2025: an impersonation scam using deepfaked/fake social-media posts claiming Canadian PM Mark Carney endorses XBTDirect; not registered in Saskatchewan; xbt-direct.net cited (the release deliberately de-links the domain).
  • CSA national investor-alerts entry of 5 Aug 2025; Traders Union's scam evaluation (Sep 2026).
  • ScamAdviser captures xbtdirectpro.net running the same “XBTDirect | Trade On An Award-Winning Trading Platform” branding — confirming the brand-family relationship with the batch-12 XBTDIRECTPRO page (same operators suspected; stated as soft evidence, cross-linked both ways).
  • Victim funnel: politician-celebrity deepfake ads on social media leading to leveraged crypto trading.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my XBTDirect account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at xbt-direct.net. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as XBTDirect.

XBTDirect says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
