- ap.tradingsstrategy.com is one of the latest platforms luring crypto investors with promises of quick and high returns. This platform portrays itself as a legitimate and sophisticated investment site, boasting professional graphics, performance charts, and testimonials that all reinforce its credibility. However, beneath this polished front, BNexTrade.com is structured to trap and defraud unsuspecting investors, as I discovered after losing 10,185 USDC.
- Inside the ap.tradingsstrategy.com Scam
ap.tradingsstrategy.com appeals to potential investors by claiming to offer secure, high-yield cryptocurrency trading. It displays various success metrics and features glowing testimonials on its site to create the illusion of profitability. Investors are encouraged to deposit funds into ap.tradingsstrategy.com controlled wallet addresses—funds are often sent in popular stablecoins like USDC. In my experience, I deposited funds into 0bc1qf7yg4y4pgtm2h3k4mctcel9jcs23ntfucg22lf, totaling 10,185 USDC. Once deposited, these funds are ostensibly “invested” and may initially appear to grow within the platform’s dashboard. - However, the issues arise when investors try to withdraw their profits. ap.tradingsstrategy.com often uses stalling tactics, requesting additional fees or claiming technical difficulties. Withdrawal requests go unfulfilled, and customer support becomes increasingly unresponsive, leaving investors unable to recover their funds. These methods are hallmark tactics of crypto scams that ap.tradingsstrategy.com employs with precision.
- Warning Signs of Scams Like ap.tradingsstrategy.com
For those looking to invest, it’s essential to recognize some warning signs to avoid becoming a victim of schemes like ap.tradingsstrategy.com: - Unrealistic Returns: High, consistent profits with minimal or no risk are red flags in the crypto space.
- Restricted Withdrawals: Legitimate investment platforms allow transparent withdrawals; repeated delays or excuses should raise concerns.
- Unresponsive Support: Lack of proper communication or responsive customer support is often a signal of fraudulent intent.
- Unverified Regulatory Claims: ap.tradingsstrategy.com, like many scam platforms, fails to provide legitimate regulatory credentials or oversight, which is critical for investor security.
- Protecting Yourself Against Crypto Scams
To avoid scams like ap.tradingsstrategy.com, always research the platform before investing. Look up genuine reviews, check regulatory information, and verify platform credentials. A little skepticism can save you from significant financial loss. Stick to trusted exchanges and platforms that have a verifiable track record, and never hesitate to withdraw small amounts as a test before committing more funds. - Final Thoughts
ap.tradingsstrategy.com exemplifies the risks in the crypto investment space, preying on unsuspecting individuals with its misleading front and deceptive promises. As a crypto investor, educating yourself and recognizing these warning signs can prevent potential losses. Remember: in the world of cryptocurrency, if an investment opportunity seems too good to be true, it probably is. Always prioritize safety and conduct thorough research before committing your funds.

SCAM WARNING: $110,000 Lost in Investment Scam via WhatsApp & BNEX.CC
A serious investment scam has been reported involving a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading scheme. A scammer, posing as a young Asian woman named “Aileen,” tricked the victim into making two large investments, promising incredibly high returns from short-term crypto options trading. The victim lost $110,000 after falling into the scam’s deceptive tactics.
Scammer’s Claims: Short-term crypto options trading with high returns (80% in 120 seconds)
Scammer’s Crypto Address (USDC payments): 0x91C2B798E7d934907A23f1731F72C882Db50E2B5
Withdrawals Sent to: 0x01b67Dd9dB5Ce4e8995CA8729e807F34aB25Fb76 (USDT-ERC20)
Website Used: bnex.cc
Total Loss: $110,000 in two investments of $55,000 each
Transaction IDs (Investments):BTC: 236517 (0.00095872 BTC), 250684 (0.0009727 BTC)
USDC: 251598 (4,990.00 USDC), 260490 (50,012.00 USDC), 261666 (54,970.00 USDC), 268555 (55,980.00 USDC)
Transaction IDs (Withdrawals):4302 (147.60 USDT), 4893 (460,000 USDT), 4954 (1,000,000 USDT)
How the Scam Worked:
- Fake Friendship & Trust Building: The scammer initiated contact via WhatsApp, presenting herself as a successful crypto trader.
- Deceptive Promises: Claimed to have an insider system that guaranteed 80% returns in just minutes.
- Large Investments: Convinced the victim to deposit a total of $110,000.
- Withdrawal Block: When the victim tried to withdraw, the scammer invented fake rules:
- The victim had to match one of their initial investments to “validate” it.
- A 10% withdrawal fee was suddenly imposed.
- The victim’s account was completely locked after refusal to pay additional fees.
Warning to Others:
Be extremely cautious with unsolicited investment offers on WhatsApp, Telegram, or social media.
Any promise of guaranteed high returns (especially in minutes) is a red flag.
Always research the platform—BNEX.CC is not a legitimate crypto exchange.
Never send additional funds to “unlock” withdrawals—this is a classic scam tactic.
If you have interacted with this scammer or lost money through bnex.cc, report it immediately. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible—protect yourself and spread awareness!

We want to warn you about a troubling case involving the website bnextrade.com (also accessible at bnex.cc). The scammers behind this platform lured their target using personal charm, posing as an approachable Asian woman eager to teach cryptocurrency investments. The victim made two payments through Coinbase, totaling $35,000, which were transferred to the scam’s addresses. Investigators traced one payment to a cash-out at OKX and found another amount still held in a wallet.
The scammers used a romance-like approach to gain trust, promising quick profits through their fake platform. These tactics often manipulate emotions, making it hard to spot the red flags. The case highlights the use of polished communication and fraudulent investment sites to steal funds.
CNC Intelligence played a key role by analyzing transactions, tracing the funds, and preparing a detailed report for law enforcement.
This situation reminds us to stay cautious, especially when someone online encourages you to invest. Always verify platforms before transferring money, and keep an eye out for signs of emotional manipulation. Remember, real opportunities don’t require trust based solely on words. If you’ve been targeted by a scam, let us know. We’re here to help.

Under the advice of a friend I used BNEX to invest in gold futures. I made over $29,000 and tried to withdraw $23,000 of the assets. BNEX began by introducing taxes, then “fees” to get the transaction through their Finance & Risk Control departments. Then they “discovered that the account I used to received the funds was no longer adequate for the transaction, and I needed to send the $5000 through another account to assuage their worries.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Mike. Unfortunately, the tactics you described—introducing unexpected taxes, fees, and additional requirements—are classic signs of a scam. Fraudulent platforms like BNEX often create hurdles to delay withdrawals or pressure you to send more money. The claim about your account being “inadequate” is likely another ploy to exploit you further.
We strongly recommend that you stop all communication with them immediately and avoid sending any additional funds. If you’ve already shared personal or financial information, take steps to secure your accounts. Consider reporting this case to local authorities or filing a complaint with relevant fraud organizations. If you’d like help tracing your funds or need further guidance, we’re here to assist. Stay vigilant and cautious moving forward.
