Investigating bitoneapp.com: Exposing a $216K Crypto Investment Scam

If you’ve come across bitoneapp.com, be cautious—it’s at the center of a large-scale cryptocurrency investment scam. This fraudulent platform promises high returns on cryptocurrency investments but ultimately steals funds from unsuspecting users. Based on our OSINT investigation, here’s what we know so far.

The domain bitoneapp.com was registered through Amazon Registrar, Inc. on October 22, 2023, with protection services masking the owner’s identity. The contact details list a P.O. Box address in Hayes, Middlesex, UK, indicating the use of an identity protection service to obscure the true registrant. Despite recent updates on October 23, 2024, the site remains operational and continues to attract victims.

The scam involves investments in popular cryptocurrencies, notably BTC and USDC. Victims are directed to send funds to specific receiving addresses under the guise of participating in lucrative investment opportunities. The identified receiving addresses include:

Bitcoin (BTC): 3HrTXJAyjCixbqMnCEr1egqXfAiecZqT2W
Ethereum (ETH): 0x7a8cc39576d71782d34b1324db721e195282abe6 and 0x8e6998512a36978820a2f02618cf8e6178ea3282
Thus far, the total known loss attributed to this scam exceeds $216,940. These addresses are critical for blockchain analysis and may lead to further clues about the perpetrators.

The sophisticated setup and use of privacy services suggest that this scam is well-coordinated and possibly part of a larger network. If you or someone you know has additional information about bitoneapp.com, such as other cryptocurrency addresses, patterns of communication, or payment methods linked to the scam, your input could be invaluable to ongoing investigations.
