A scam involving the fraudulent website Travelexltd.com (and its sub-site Travelexltd.cc) has been reported. The victim was contacted through a “wrong number” ploy, where the scammer built trust before introducing a supposed spot gold trading opportunity. The scam directed the victim to deposit funds in ETH, which were allegedly converted into cash for trading on the unregulated platform.
The victim lost a total of $44,408, including $30,000 in loans, after following the scammer’s instructions. The platform’s “support” team falsely claimed the victim owed an additional $17,000 due to a “blowout,” despite no confirmation of actual trading or proper fund conversion.
