FRAUD ALERT — Criminals are impersonating Catherine Austin Fitts with fake investment offers. Catherine never privately solicits investments.
Be Aware of Solari Imposters
What is Happening
Solari is aware of an ongoing impersonation and fraud scheme in which individuals are falsely presenting themselves as Catherine Austin Fitts, the Solari Report, members of the Solari team, or people who work with or are associated with them.
The imposters use fake social media accounts, websites, email addresses, and private messaging accounts. They frequently copy Catherine’s photographs, videos, biography, and legitimate Solari material in order to make their communications appear authentic.
Because people who trust Catherine and Solari are already being targeted by impersonators, we are deeply concerned about the risk to our readers, subscribers, and followers. We want to make it as easy as possible to recognize these scams, verify legitimate Solari communications, and report suspicious or impersonating accounts when they appear.
Individuals may initially be approached through social media and then encouraged to continue the conversation through private email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, or other messaging platforms. The imposters may offer supposed consultations with Catherine, investment or retirement opportunities, trading programs, private investor communities, digital vault services, or other financial services. They may also request personal or financial information or ask for payments.
What Catherine Never Does
Catherine Austin Fitts and Solari will never initiate private contact with you to offer consultations, investments, trading opportunities, retirement programs, digital vault services, or other financial services.
If a message or account does any of the following, it is not Catherine—regardless of how authentic the profile looks:
- Catherine does not privately contact individuals to offer investment opportunities.
- Catherine does not guarantee investment returns.
- Catherine is not associated with WealthWise, WWEC, or any similar investment scheme using her identity.
- Catherine does not ask individuals to send cryptocurrency or funds to private investment opportunities.
- Catherine does not recruit members for investment clubs, trading groups, or “wealth circles” on WhatsApp, Telegram, or any other messaging platform.
- Catherine does not provide personalized investment advice through social media direct messages.
Check the Warning Signs
- Unsolicited contact through WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, X, email, or text message from someone claiming to be Catherine or her “team,” “assistant,” or “manager.”
- Invitations to private groups—investment clubs, trading signal groups, or mentorship circles supposedly run by Catherine.
- Promises of high or guaranteed returns, often involving cryptocurrency, forex, or “exclusive” pre-launch opportunities.
- Pressure and urgency—limited spots, deadlines, or requests to keep the opportunity confidential.
- Requests to move the conversation to a private messaging app.
- Use of real Solari content—copied videos, photographs, and logos. Authentic-looking material does not mean the account is authentic.
Verify the Official Solari Channels
If you receive an unsolicited message from an account, email address, phone number, or messaging profile claiming to represent Catherine Austin Fitts or Solari, verify it through Solari’s official website before taking any action. Do not provide personal or financial information or make any payment in response to an unverified communication. An account should not be assumed to be legitimate simply because it uses Catherine’s name, photograph, videos, or Solari branding.
Compare any account that has approached you against this list. If it is not listed here, do not trust it.
Any account, website, or phone number not listed above that claims to represent Catherine or Solari should be treated as fraudulent.
IMPORTANT
If you receive an unexpected investment proposal allegedly from Catherine, do not send funds or provide financial information. Real opportunities do not require secrecy, urgency, or cryptocurrency transfers to strangers.

Note: We have replaced “@” with “[at]” and added square brackets in order to reduce spam mail to this address. Please adjust this accordingly when emailing us.
Please include as much of the following as you can:
- The profile link, website, email address, or phone number that contacted you
- The platform (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, X, Facebook, email, etc.)
- Screenshots of the conversation or the profile
- Any payment details, wallet addresses, or bank accounts you were given
- Whether you sent any money or personal information
By reporting suspicious activity, we can all help protect people and make the online community safer for everyone.
If You Have Already Sent Money
- Stop all contact with the account immediately. Do not send anything further, including “release fees” or “taxes” to recover funds—these are part of the scam.
- Contact your bank or exchange right away and ask them to attempt a recall or freeze.
- Report to law enforcement: In the United States, file a report with the FBI at ic3.gov; elsewhere, report to your national police or fraud reporting center.
- Report the account to the platform it contacted you on, and to Solari.
- Keep all evidence—messages, receipts, wallet addresses, and screenshots.
Be cautious of “recovery services” that contact you offering to get your money back for a fee—these are almost always a second round of the same fraud.
