Investor Alert: Trusty Ledger and Fidelis Rig Falsely Claim CIRO Regulation

TORONTO , April 30, 2025 /CNW/ – The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) is warning investors about Trusty Ledger (TL-LTD[.]net ), a fraudulent entity falsely claiming regulation by CIRO. Concerns have also been raised about Fidelis Rig (fidelis-rig[.]co ), another unregulated entity linked to crypto recovery scams.

Trusty Ledger operates as a recovery room scam, targeting individuals who have previously fallen victim to financial fraud . These scams lure victims by promising to recover lost funds, only to exploit the victims further.

A recent report revealed a loss of approximately $10,000 USD after engaging with these entities. The victims also disclosed personal financial information, further increasing exposure to financial risk. Neither Trusty Ledger nor Fidelis Rig are regulated by CIRO.
