CRIB Markets — flagged scam broker

CRIB Markets — A Live Ticker Stuck at Bitcoin 64,230

The homepage of CRIB Markets (thecribmarket.com) shows a “live markets” strip. On 27 October 2026 it read BTC/USD 64,230.0, gold 2,350.4 and EUR/USD 1.17700. The real prices that day were roughly $80,500, $4,059 and 1.114. The ticker is a picture, not a feed.

CRIB Markets: static prices, real deposits

Instrument CRIB “live” Market, 27 Oct 2026
BTC/USD 64,230.0 ≈ 80,500
Gold (XAU/USD) 2,350.4 ≈ 4,059
EUR/USD 1.17700 ≈ 1.114

A broker that cannot show real prices on its own homepage is not connected to a real price feed there. The site still says “Regulated & Secure Environment”.

A Mauritius company number is not a Financial Services Commission licence. CRIB shows the first and claims the second only in general words.

The client complaint

A client reported in January 2024 that he asked to withdraw several times, that CRIB refused and stopped answering, and that the firm then “blacked out” his account so that he could no longer open his profile at all. Losing access to the dashboard also means losing access to the trade history you would need to prove what you were owed.

⚠ CRIB Markets checklist

  • Frozen “live” prices.
  • Company number, no licence number.
  • Withdrawals refused, then account access cut.
  • Take screenshots of your balance today.

If CRIB Markets has gone quiet

A profile that can no longer be opened is often the last stage before a site disappears.

If you still have access to email from CRIB Markets, save every message now, along with deposit receipts and any wallet addresses used. Tell your bank or card issuer which payments went to the broker and ask what dispute options remain for those dates.
