We received a complaint about a scam involving the website cmcoxel.co.
The scam revolves around cryptocurrency transactions, specifically involving ETH and USDT.
According to the victim, they attempted to withdraw $1.1 million in Ethereum, but the platform suspiciously suspended the transaction.
Following this, the scammers demanded a 9% fee, which amounts to a significant sum, to release the funds.
Notably, this fee is not mentioned on the website’s terms, which should raise major red flags.
The scammers refuse to cancel the transaction unless this fee is paid, but there is no guarantee that paying it will result in the funds being released.
This highly suspicious situation is typical of fraudulent platforms that create additional obstacles for victims in an attempt to extract more money.
The scammers behind cmcoxel.co are employing classic tactics of holding a victim’s assets hostage while leveraging non-existent fees to manipulate further payments.
In this case, the platform has already locked the victim’s ETH transaction and refuses to proceed without further payments, making it evident that their goal is to exploit the situation for financial gain.
We strongly urge anyone on this platform to avoid further transactions.
Based on the details provided and our experience investigating such scams, this is almost certainly a fraudulent operation.
The request for additional fees without any prior mention, the refusal to cancel the transaction, and the high stakes involved suggest that this platform is a scam, preying on its victims’ desperation to access their funds.
If you have experienced something similar, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our investigative team for further assistance. We are committed to helping scam victims (for example, by offering cryptocurrency tracing services) and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Of note here, the website address has been changed from the one that was established in July 2024, as of November 13th, 2024, to the one noted above. I am experiencing a similar issue to the deposit/withdrawal issue noted previously here. I have been asked to deposit tens of thousands of dollars by an individual I met online through a legitimate dating website. Thankfully I declined and only put in $1K USD to test this platform. What was seeming like an interest in a relationship, turned into more of an interest in what I could invest on the platform. Made some returns on a few options transactions with her and then she said I could withdraw my profits. That’s when things got interesting and the sited froze my funds and says the withdrawal is pending in my account. I reached out to customer service initially and they said to wait patiently as it can take 1-3 business days to process a transaction. It has been 2 weeks, and nothing has changed. I have reached out to CS several times since and they answer at first but then do not respond with any answer or update once I provide my account information.
