VanguardFirst — sealed dossier

VanguardFirst is sealed in our broker watchlist with a high-risk classification. Cryptoslock recommends halting all deposits and beginning custody-recovery procedures.

What we know

VanguardFirst describes itself in retail-broker terms. The custody desk has filed multiple intake briefs against this counterparty over the rolling 18-month review window.

Custody breach signatures

• Unverified ‘profit screenshots’ or testimonials used in marketing material.
• Requests for additional deposits framed as ‘release fees’ or ‘tax clearance’.
• Withdrawal requests delayed, denied, or routed through unverified compliance steps.
• Inbound contact from third parties referencing your account without your initial consent.

Custody desk recommendation

If you recognize VanguardFirst from your transaction history, the custody desk advises you to open a sealed dossier. Do not respond to inbound contact from anyone claiming to recover funds on a contingency basis.
