🛡️ APP EVALUATION CHECKLIST (Anti-Scam Shield)

🌑 1. Origin Story

• Can I identify a real company behind this app?

• Does the company have a physical office address (not just a PO Box)?

• Can I find real humans (team members) linked to the company online (LinkedIn, etc)?

• Is the domain name older than 1 year?

🌒 2. Review the Song of the People

• Can I find independent reviews on places like Trustpilot, Reddit, or ScamAdviser?

• Are the reviews natural (mixed, detailed) rather than overly positive and generic?

• Are there no mass complaints about frozen withdrawals, locked accounts, or vanishing funds?

🌓 3. Compare Promise vs Reality

• Does the app NOT guarantee profits? (if it does — 🚩 Red flag)

• Are the features (like "AI trading") explained in a way normal people can understand?

• Are marketing claims moderate and realistic, not dreamlike?

🌔 4. Regulatory Armor Check

• Is the app registered with the appropriate financial regulators? (FCA, SEC, etc)

• Is there no public warning issued against this app by regulators?

• Is the company name the same as the name listed on the regulator website?

🌕 5. Personal Trial by Fire (Demo Account Testing)

• Can I create a demo account easily without funding real money?

• Is there no aggressive sales pressure after signup?

• Can I access real app features without handing over sensitive documents immediately?

🌑 6. Money River Examination

• Are deposits handled by a known payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, licensed processor)?

• Can I withdraw without speaking to an "advisor" or paying "release fees"?

• Are deposits and withdrawals possible using traditional banking (not just crypto wallets)?

• Is the app clear about fees and withdrawal conditions before I deposit anything?

📜 Grading:

After you tick the boxes:

• 50–60 points ➔ Safe to explore cautiously.

• 40–49 points ➔ Dangerous waters — proceed only with expert help.

• Below 40 points ➔ Walk away immediately.

🛠️ QUICK TIP:

Save the checklist as a PDF, print it, and tape it to your computer or trading desk.
Let it be your silent advisor — a lantern against fog, a sword against lies.
