A serious scam report has been filed regarding a transaction on the website Exchxdeal.com, involving selling a game account for the game Summoners War. The victim reported selling the account for $4,300 and encountering fraudulent activities during the withdrawal process on this platform.

Key Details for OSINT Investigations:

• Fraudulent Website: Exchxdeal.com

• Reported Loss: $5,300 (includes the original amount plus additional funds sent as a “verification”)

After the sale, the website requested the victim to verify their authenticity by sending a specific amount of money, supposedly to confirm they were a real person. Following this, the site claimed that to withdraw the funds, the victim needed to purchase insurance to prevent the bitcoin from getting lost in the blockchain. This claim was identified as false by the victim, who then attempted to withdraw a small amount of Bitcoin to test the transaction. The transfer failed, and no transaction ID was provided for tracking.

When the victim inquired about the status of their funds, they were informed that their account had been blocked due to suspicion of money laundering and that the platform would hold onto the account funds. Further communication was shut down, and the victim was left without access to their money or any means of redress.
