The Hidden Side of Fertility: A $6 Billion Opportunity for Scammers

The fertility industry has exploded in value — and so have fraudulent operations.
With over $6 billion spent annually on IVF and egg donation, opportunists prey on emotionally vulnerable families desperate for a child.

Fake agencies promise miracle results, “discounted frozen eggs,” or “guaranteed matches” — then disappear after collecting payment.
Others outsource to unlicensed labs that mishandle eggs or embryos.

The Cost of Fertility Fraud

• $20,000–$60,000 lost per family
• Embryos stored or shipped illegally
• Identity theft through falsified donor profiles
• Emotional trauma and shattered trust

“In a market built on hope, trust must be proven — not assumed.”

Top 7 Warning Signs of a Fertility Scam

1. No FDA Registration or State License

Always ask for an FDA Establishment ID and state licensing proof.
If the agency can’t produce these documents, they cannot legally handle human reproductive tissue.

2. Unrealistic Success Guarantees

Be wary of “100% pregnancy success” claims. No program can guarantee that outcome.
EggDonors4All guarantees Day-5 blastocysts — not pregnancies — because we deal in science, not sales pitches.

3. No Physical Address or Medical Director

A legitimate fertility agency must have an on-record Medical Director and a verifiable clinic address.

4. Anonymous Donor Databases with Stock Photos

Many fraudulent sites use fake donor profiles sourced from image libraries.
EggDonors4All’s database is authenticated — with verified photos, background, and medical documentation.

5. Payment in Cryptocurrency or Cash Apps

Always pay through traceable, U.S.-based financial channels.
Unlicensed agencies often ask for crypto or wire transfers to evade accountability.

6. Lack of Legal Contracts or Oversight

Every egg donor match should come with legally binding contracts reviewed by a licensed fertility attorney.

7. Silence on FDA/State Inspections

If an agency has never been inspected or audited — it’s likely not legitimate.

The Role of Licensing in Fraud Prevention

FDA Registration (Federal Law)

Agencies handling eggs, sperm, or embryos must register as Human Tissue Establishments under 21 CFR Part 1271.
This ensures donor testing, tissue traceability, and chain-of-custody protocols.

EggDonors4All’s registration protects clients against untraceable losses and ensures every sample is tracked from donor to delivery.

New York State Licensing (State Law)

Under Article 43-B of Public Health Law, agencies must be licensed as Tissue Banks to serve NY residents.
EggDonors4All is both FDA-registered and NYS-licensed — a rare Tier-1 distinction.

The Regulatory Advantage of Tier-1 Agencies

Category	Unlicensed “Broker”	Average Clinic	EggDonors4All (Tier-1)
FDA Registration	❌	Partial	✅
NYS Licensing	❌	❌	✅
Chain-of-Custody Tracking	❌	Partial	✅
Donor ID Verification	❌	Partial	✅
Blastocyst Guarantee	❌	❌	✅
Transparency Reports	❌	❌	✅

“Tier-1 means zero gray zones. Every embryo has a paper trail and a purpose.”

Case Study 1 — “The Agency That Vanished”

Profile: Lydia & Tom, Chicago
They paid $28,000 to a “discount fertility site” for frozen eggs.
The eggs were never shipped — the company was unlicensed and dissolved weeks later.

They later joined EggDonors4All’s Guaranteed Blastocyst Program, where five viable embryos were created within one cycle.

“After being scammed once, we wanted transparency. EggDonors4All gave us proof, not promises.”

Case Study 2 — “The Lab with No License”

Profile: Renee & Alex, Boston
Their embryos were handled by an unlicensed lab that lost temperature control during shipment.
After joining EggDonors4All, they received full FDA documentation, chain-of-custody tracking, and verified blastocyst results.

“We realized that trust is something you can audit.”
