February 3, 2025 at 10:01 pm in reply to: Lost 10,185 USDC: A Deep Dive into BNexTrade.com’s Deceptive Tactics #8095
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!
February 3, 2025 at 9:38 pm in reply to: BuildFireMA.com: The Fake Job Scam Exploiting Job Seekers #8092Thanks for sharing this update, Dude. Reporting scam websites to their hosting providers is an effective step in taking them down. While this doesn’t always recover lost funds, it helps prevent others from falling victim. If anyone encounters similar scams, feel free to report them here or check our scam database for known fraudulent platforms. Stay vigilant!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Andrew. This aligns with multiple reports we’ve received about Goldmany.org using romance-based tactics to lure victims into fraudulent investments. Your detailed breakdown of their strategy—fake identities, manipulated demo accounts, and misleading withdrawals—helps expose their deceptive methods.
To anyone reading, if you’ve been targeted by this scam, report it immediately and avoid engaging further. You can also submit details of any crypto transactions linked to Goldmany.org for further investigation.
Stay vigilant!

February 1, 2025 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Uncovering the Truth About Provestics.com: A Comprehensive Investigation #7948Provestics.com was a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange that lured investors with promises of high returns on foreign exchange and crypto trading. A California resident reported being instructed to buy and transfer crypto assets to the platform, believing their account was generating profits. However, when they attempted to withdraw funds, the platform blocked them. The website is no longer operational. This scam follows the Romance-Baiting scheme, where victims are manipulated into making continuous investments before being unable to withdraw their funds.
February 1, 2025 at 6:34 pm in reply to: Even Coins (evencoinss.com) – Fraudulent Crypto Trading Platform #7947Even Coins (evencoinss.com) operated as a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform, targeting victims through WhatsApp investment groups and fake trading apps. The scam followed a romance-baiting model, where victims were manipulated into depositing increasing amounts of cryptocurrency under the illusion of high returns and expert fund management. The platform, which initially appeared legitimate, ultimately led to significant financial losses for investors across multiple cases.
Victims reported different variations of the scam. Some were promised 100% daily profits, only to find their accounts frozen when attempting to withdraw. Others were lured in through contract trading signals and so-called crypto analysts who falsely legitimized the scheme. Many were told they had to pay fake taxes, SEC fees, or profit-sharing obligations to access their funds—only to have their balances wiped out entirely.
Like many crypto scams, the Even Coins platform has since vanished, leaving victims unable to recover their funds. This is a classic advance-fee scam, where victims are pressured to keep sending money under false pretenses while the fraudsters disappear with the deposits. Given the tactics used, it is likely that the scammers will resurface under a new name with a similar scheme.
Anyone encountering investment opportunities promising unrealistic returns should proceed with extreme caution. Legitimate platforms do not guarantee high profits, demand upfront payments for withdrawals, or disappear without warning. If you have been affected by a similar scam, report it to law enforcement and financial regulators immediately. Stay vigilant, and always verify the legitimacy of any crypto investment before committing funds.
February 1, 2025 at 6:24 pm in reply to: SCAM ALERT: DAF Finance Institute & OPNCOIN Crypto Scam #7945Cryptocurrency scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, preying on trust and financial aspirations. Over the past months, we’ve received multiple reports of fraudulent schemes linked to DAF Financial Institute, OCN DeFi, OPNCoin, and DreamAdviser, each promising high returns but ultimately leaving victims with devastating losses. Below are some of the cases we’ve come across, shedding light on the methods these scammers use.
One victim was deceived by DAF Financial Institute, where a scammer posed as a supportive mentor, offering to guide them through cryptocurrency trading. Initially setting a high investment threshold, the scammer later reduced it to make it seem more accessible. Trusting the process, the victim invested funds, only to discover that withdrawals were impossible. Their Ether/ERC20 tokens were transferred through Robinhood and ended up at a known fraudulent address. The case is currently under investigation.
Another individual lost $25,000 in an investment scam involving OCN DeFi Trading Platform and DAF Institute, where Bitcoin was used for the transaction.
In a more severe case, a victim was misled into investing $100,000 through DAF Academy, believing in the promise of significant returns. However, when they attempted to withdraw, they were denied access.
One of the largest reported losses involved $500,000 linked to OPNCoin and DreamAdviser.
Another victim was scammed out of $25,000 through DAF Financial Institution and DreamAdviser, having invested Ethereum (ERC-20 tokens) in what appeared to be a profitable opportunity. The fraudsters eventually restricted access to their funds.
A final case involved a $250,000 loss in an investment scam tied to DreamAdviser Corp. The victim transferred funds via bank wireץ
These cases highlight the growing risks in the crypto investment space, where fraudsters exploit trust, urgency, and the promise of quick profits. If you’ve been affected by a similar scam, we strongly advise reporting the incident and seeking professional guidance. Stay vigilant and always verify the legitimacy of any investment opportunity before committing your funds.
It’s unfortunate to hear about yet another fraudulent trading platform preying on unsuspecting victims. Absgbl.com appears to be part of a larger Pig Butchering scam, where scammers build trust before convincing victims to invest increasing amounts of money.
A warning from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) confirms that Absgbl.com was reported by at least one victim who lost money after being lured in by someone named Mona through a WhatsApp trading group. The scammers instructed them to transfer funds to the platform, only to repeatedly pressure them for more deposits. When the victim attempted to withdraw, they never received their money, despite a fake confirmation message from the website.
Key Red Flags Identified:
🔹 Fake Trading and Investment Platform – The website posed as a legitimate trading service but never allowed withdrawals.
🔹 Unrealistic Profit Promises – Common in crypto scams, where victims are lured in with guaranteed returns.
🔹 Payments in Cryptocurrency – Bitcoin transactions make it nearly impossible to reverse payments or recover funds.
🔹 Ghosting After Deposits – Victims report being ignored after sending money, a hallmark of fraudulent platforms.Latest Updates on Absgbl.com:
🚨 The website is no longer operational, suggesting the scammers have either shut it down or moved to a new domain.
🚨 The Bitcoin address used (3Lpcemn5vJVvkngvxGiqcH3PYJrsB24bjJ) may be linked to other scams—tracing its activity could help identify related fraudulent operations.
🚨 The domain Absgbl.com was registered on July 16, 2024, and is set to expire in July 2025, meaning the scammers may still attempt to reactivate it or use variations of the name.If you were affected by Absgbl.com, consider reporting the scam to relevant authorities such as:
🔹 DFPI (California Financial Regulator) – DFPI Crypto Scam Tracker
🔹 Your local law enforcement or cybercrime unit
🔹 Blockchain analysis services that can track the Bitcoin wallet’s movementFor those searching for legitimate crypto trading platforms—always verify licenses, research the company history, and be skeptical of guaranteed returns. If a platform pressures you to keep depositing money, that’s a massive red flag!

January 30, 2025 at 10:31 am in reply to: Dimensional Funds Scam: WhatsApp Scammers Steal $135,000 #7895I’m very sorry to hear about your experience, Vanita. This type of scam is designed to build trust gradually before making increasingly aggressive financial demands. The use of supposed insider trading strategies, institutional trading accounts, and withdrawal fees are all classic red flags.
Thank you for sharing the details, especially the fake registration site and invitation code—this helps others recognize and avoid similar traps.
If you haven’t already, report this to your local authorities and any financial institutions involved. If you have transaction details, blockchain forensics may help track where the funds went. Stay cautious, and let us know if you uncover more information!
Thanks for sharing your experience, George. This pattern is unfortunately common in romance scams—fraudsters build trust through fake relationships and manipulate victims into fraudulent investments. The small withdrawals to build credibility are a classic tactic before they disappear with the larger sums.
If you or anyone else has additional details—such as more associated wallet addresses or communication screenshots—it would help strengthen the case against them. Victims should report their losses to law enforcement and blockchain tracking services to increase the chances of action being taken. Stay cautious and always verify before investing!
When you come across platforms like axiggt.com and axciones.com, be on high alert. These sites lure you with promises of “real-world futures trades” and skyrocketing investments. In this case, a victim in Tennessee fell for the trap, losing $7,250. The scam started with small wins and fake tips from an “assistant.” Then, it escalated to an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) for a fraudulent coin called CKO/USDT, which supposedly skyrocketed in value. When the victim tried withdrawing $103,697 in USDT, the scammers demanded a “tax payment” to release the funds.
Emails came from
online@axiggt.on.crisp.email
, and the scammers used slick communication to make their demands seem legitimate. But no matter how convincing their tax policy sounded, it was a ploy to extract even more money. We immediately recognized the red flags, especially since these platforms—axiggt.com and axciones.com—don’t reveal credible business details or locations. Their operations were designed to confuse and trap.The BBB complaint linked here paints a clear picture of how these scammers work. The fraudulent platform created an illusion of success, only to devastate people financially.
This is 100% a scam. No legitimate platform hides behind anonymous emails, unknown locations, and fake tax demands. If you’ve seen or been targeted by similar schemes, report it immediately. Sharing your story could save someone else. Together, we can make it harder for scammers to operate. Stay vigilant and skeptical of platforms offering too-good-to-be-true returns.
