The document is checked against 32 behavioral fraud patterns drawn from the Theory of Blockchain Psychology — covering commodity fraud (SCO, CMA, TTM, IMFPA, DCL, POL, assay mechanisms) and crypto fraud (presale scams, guaranteed yield, rug pull signals, KOL framing).
Every flag comes with a plain-language explanation of the psychology behind it — not just that it's a red flag, but why it works, what cognitive bias it exploits, and what it tells you about the structure of the deal. The annotated document shows exactly where each pattern appeared.
Every pattern in the library is drawn from real documents circulating in active deal networks. Each has a behavioral explanation rooted in the Theory of Blockchain Psychology.
A templated letter on institutional letterhead that substitutes the appearance of verification for actual verification.
A choreographed in-person event that creates the feeling of diligence before anything is confirmed.
Gets intermediaries financially invested before goods exist, creating social pressure to proceed.
The buyer is asked to fund the seller's export documentation — a direct inversion of CIF terms.
CIF means the seller pays all costs. Using CIF language while requiring buyer advances is a deliberate contradiction.
A two-hour payment deadline after an assay report prevents independent verification before funds move.
Non-binding documents presented with contract-like formality anchor the buyer to specific numbers before verification.
A real instrument used to dress an advance-fee request in the form of a secured collateral arrangement.
Real industry mechanics borrowed to make the payment structure sound technically credible.
An unnamed third party in the payment chain spreads accountability so no one is clearly responsible.
Framing secrecy as professionalism discourages the buyer from involving a lawyer or independent advisor.
Fixed APY or guaranteed profit exploits the desire to eliminate market risk — no legitimate investment offers this.
Named insider tiers create the impression of a vetted circle, lending credibility through association.
Mimics real airdrop structures while reversing the actual flow of value.
A countdown of spots remaining manufactures urgency around a constraint the seller controls entirely.
Routing dispute resolution to an unseen document means the buyer cannot assess their actual recourse.
