📄Investigation Summary

EquiLoomPRO is on Crypto Killer's watchlist pending further investigation with a 25/100 threat score, based on 342 fraudulent advertisements detected across 17 countries over 184 days of continuous operation between Sep 29, 2025 and Apr 1, 2026. The scheme impersonates 54 real celebrities in paid advertisements, including Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, Anwar Ibrahim, Ahmad Zulkifli, Arthur Fuentes, Rafael Cruz.

Victims report that initial deposits succeed through the platform, but withdrawal requests trigger account lockouts, fabricated compliance fees, and relentless contact demanding additional capital. CryptoKiller's analysis confirms EquiLoomPRO exhibits every hallmark of a confidence scheme: celebrity fabrication, geographic dispersion, high-velocity ad deployment, and zero regulatory registration across FCA, SEC, ASIC, or CySEC databases.

⚠ If you deposited money to EquiLoomPRO and cannot withdraw it, you are not the victim of bad luck or market volatility — you have been targeted by an organized fraud operation.

🔬How This Scam Works

EquiLoomPRO deploys a four-stage confidence scheme targeting retail investors searching for cryptocurrency trading automation. Each stage is designed to advance the victim deeper into the trap.

📢
Stage 1

Celebrity Impersonation & Geo-Targeted Advertising

  • CryptoKiller detected 349 creatives impersonating 54 celebrities across 17 countries.
  • Ads target specific geographies — Malaysian creatives featured Anwar Ibrahim and Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, while Philippine ads used Manny Pacquiao's likeness.
  • EquiLoomPRO video ad impersonating a public figure on Facebook mobile feed

🎯
Stage 2

The Funnel & Deposit Success

  • These landing pages funnel visitors to a registration form requesting personal data and an initial deposit.
  • The platform claims FCA, CFTC, and SEC authorization, but BrokersView confirmed zero regulatory matches for EquiLoomPRO in 2026.

📈
Stage 3

Fake Profits & Psychological Manipulation

  • Bitnation's review found no recognized financial institution behind the EquiLoomPRO brand, describing it as a "marketing wrapper rather than a household-name broker." Victims see rising balances that exist only on screen, designed to extract additional funds through upsell pressure from assigned account managers.

🚚
Stage 4

The Withdrawal Trap & Fee Extraction

  • The disposable domain infrastructure — 3 distinct landing URLs captured by CryptoKiller across 231 days — makes recovery difficult.
  • Once deposits clear, funds typically move through layered wallets beyond the reach of standard bank chargebacks.

🚩Red Flags

🚩
Red Flag 1

False FCA, CFTC, and SEC Claims

EquiLoomPRO claims licensing from the FCA, U.S. CFTC, and SEC. BrokersView searched all 3 regulatory databases and found zero results for EquiLoomPRO. The FCA's Financial Services Register contains no matching entry. Platforms making verifiably false regulatory claims rank among the strongest fraud indicators in financial crime analysis. This single finding warrants extreme caution.

🎭
Red Flag 2

54 Celebrity Deepfakes Deployed

CryptoKiller identified 54 public figures impersonated across 349 video creatives. Targets span heads of state (Gustavo Petro, Anwar Ibrahim), athletes (Manny Pacquiao, Conor McGregor, Roger Federer), and business figures (Carlos Slim Helú, Li Ka-shing). No legitimate platform requires fabricated celebrity endorsements to attract users. The geographic breadth — 17 countries — indicates organized, multi-market targeting.

🚩
Red Flag 3

Disposable Domain Infrastructure

EquiLoomPRO ads redirect through lobsterling.com, kerdpotker.com, and endshdsasda.com — 3 disposable domains with no business registration or contact information. These domains use randomized URL parameters to track ad campaign performance across Facebook placements. Legitimate brokers direct traffic to their own registered domains. Disposable funnels prevent regulators from linking ads to the platform operator.

🚩
Red Flag 4

26/100 Scamadviser Trust Score

Scamadviser's algorithm rated equiloompro.com at 26 out of 100, classifying it as a "Suspicious Website" based on multiple risk signals. This score places EquiLoomPRO in the bottom quartile of all websites evaluated. Combined with Crypto Killer's 25/100 threat score from independent ad-surveillance methodology, 2 separate systems flag the same platform. Convergent low-trust signals from independent tools strengthen the case for caution.

🚩
Red Flag 5

No Verifiable Corporate Entity

Bitnation's 2026 review found no globally recognized financial institution operating under the EquiLoomPRO brand. The platform presents no registered company name, incorporation jurisdiction, or physical address. BrokersView's investigation reached the same conclusion — EquiLoomPRO functions as a "marketing wrapper" with no verifiable corporate structure. Platforms lacking identifiable legal entities offer users zero recourse.

🌍
Red Flag 6

Geo-Targeted Video Ad Campaigns

CryptoKiller captured creatives customized for 17 markets: Malaysian ads featured Anwar Ibrahim and Zafrul Aziz, Colombian ads used Gustavo Petro, and Philippine ads deployed Manny Pacquiao. Each creative matched a locally trusted figure to the target audience's language and geography. This geo-targeting sophistication across 349 creatives over 231 days indicates an organized media-buying operation, not a casual scam.

📢
Red Flag 7

Campaign Now Inactive After 184 Days

EquiLoomPRO's ad campaign ran from September 29, 2025 to May 19, 2026, spanning 231 days. Weekly velocity dropped to 3 creatives. Scam operations frequently go dormant after exhausting a target market or facing platform enforcement, then resurface under a new brand name. The abrupt stop — from 349 total creatives to zero — fits this pattern. Users who deposited during the active period face heightened withdrawal risk.

🔍Key Investigation Findings

1

EquiLoomPRO's Malaysian creatives rotated between Anwar Ibrahim and Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar — a pairing we have seen in 3 other unrelated scam brands targeting Malaysian retail investors in 2025-2026.

2

The redirect domains lobsterling.com, kerdpotker.com, and endshdsasda.com use identical URL parameter structures (68-character hex session IDs), suggesting a shared media-buying toolkit across campaigns.

3

Campaign velocity dropped from active deployment to zero creatives per week abruptly — consistent with platform-side ad account bans rather than voluntary shutdown.

4

Colombian creatives exclusively featured Gustavo Petro, the sitting president, a high-risk impersonation choice that signals aggressive targeting over operational caution.

5

The Japanese-targeted creatives routed through lobsterling.com and endshdsasda.com — 2 separate domains for a single geo, indicating A/B testing of funnel conversion rates.

📖Frequently Asked Questions

Is EquiLoomPRO a scam?
EquiLoomPRO appears on Crypto Killer's watchlist with a 25/100 threat score. BrokersView confirmed its FCA, CFTC, and SEC licensing claims are false. Scamadviser rates it 26/100. These signals warrant caution, though a definitive scam designation requires additional evidence. Do not deposit without independent regulatory verification.
Is EquiLoomPRO regulated?
EquiLoomPRO claims regulation by the FCA, U.S. CFTC, and SEC. BrokersView searched all 3 databases in 2026 and found zero matching entries. The platform does not appear on the FCA's Financial Services Register. Until verifiable licensing is produced, treat all regulatory claims as unconfirmed. Check register.fca.org.uk directly.
Can I get my money back from EquiLoomPRO?
Recovery depends on payment method and timing. Credit card chargebacks filed within 60 days have the highest success rate. File at IC3.gov and contact your bank immediately with transaction evidence. Avoid recovery firms requesting upfront fees — these are secondary scams targeting existing victims. Document all communications with the platform.
How do I help a family member who invested in EquiLoomPRO?
Share this review and the BrokersView investigation showing EquiLoomPRO's regulatory claims are unverified. Avoid blame — victims are targeted by sophisticated geo-localized deepfake ads featuring trusted public figures. Help them file at IC3.gov and contact their bank. Accompany them through the chargeback process and warn about recovery scams.
Which celebrities are impersonated in EquiLoomPRO ads?
CryptoKiller identified 54 impersonated public figures including Manny Pacquiao, Gustavo Petro, Anwar Ibrahim, Carlos Slim Helú, Roger Federer, and Conor McGregor. None endorsed EquiLoomPRO. Ads feature geo-targeted video deepfakes matched to each country's trusted figures across 17 markets.

🔬Our Investigation Methodology

CryptoKiller's automated ad-surveillance system scanned Meta, Google, TikTok, and X ad libraries between September 29, 2025 and May 19, 2026, capturing 349 creatives linked to EquiLoomPRO. Each creative was catalogued by geography, celebrity presence, media type, and redirect domain. Celebrity identifications were cross-referenced against public figure databases and deduplicated to 54 unique individuals. Regulatory claims were verified against the FCA Financial Services Register, SEC EDGAR, and CFTC registration databases. Independent third-party assessments from BrokersView, Bitnation, and Scamadviser were cross-referenced. The 25/100 threat score reflects a weighted aggregate of false regulatory claims, celebrity impersonation volume, domain infrastructure opacity, and third-party trust signals. Pattern matching drew on Crypto Killer's database of 500+ investigated campaigns.

Were You Targeted by EquiLoomPRO?

Your report helps warn others and builds the evidence trail against this operation. If you've lost money, act quickly — chargebacks are time-sensitive.

⚠ Beware of "recovery agents" who contact you promising to retrieve your money for an upfront fee. These are often secondary scams targeting victims of EquiLoomPRO and similar frauds.

When this review may not apply: This review may not apply if you accessed EquiLoomPRO through a verified, regulated brokerage that independently underwrites trades and provides segregated client accounts under a named jurisdiction. If your account appears on a regulated entity's Financial Services Register entry, this analysis does not describe your situation. Crypto Killer has not identified such a regulated entity behind EquiLoomPRO — but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence at the watchlist tier. We publish corrections within 48 hours of receiving verifiable regulatory documentation. No other scam-review platform commits to that timeline.

Important Disclaimer

This review reflects intelligence gathered between September 2025 and May 2026. EquiLoomPRO scores 25/100 — watchlist tier — meaning evidence supports concern but does not meet the threshold for a definitive scam designation. Crypto Killer is not a financial advisor, law firm, or regulator. This content is for informational purposes under YMYL editorial standards. Verify all claims independently. If you have lost money, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
