      The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has issued a warning about Olxton Group (olxtongroup.com), stating that the company is not registered with the BCSC. Investors are urged to proceed with extreme caution before engaging with this entity, as unregistered firms often operate fraudulently, making it difficult or impossible for victims to recover their funds. If you have been approached by Olxton Group or referred to their services, be aware of the high risk of potential fraud. Always verify a company’s registration status before investing.

      Have you encountered Olxton Group?

        Hi Mary,

        Sorry to hear that you got scammed by VisionTradez.com. Unfortunately, recovering lost crypto can be extremely difficult, as these scammers operate anonymously and often move funds quickly.

        Your best course of action is to:

        1. Report the scam – File a complaint with your local authorities and financial regulators.
        2. Warn others – Share your experience on scam forums and social media to help others avoid the same trap.
        3. Stay cautious – Avoid further contact with the scammers, as they may attempt follow-up scams promising “recovery” of your funds.

        If you come across any new information about their operations, feel free to share it here.

          A recent DFPI report warns that Capiturly.io is a fraudulent crypto trading scam. A victim was contacted by a scammer named Sharon, who posed as a stockbroker and convinced them to transfer Bitcoin to the platform for trading. The victim sent funds to the Bitcoin address bc1qdv4zpss0c0c868pwp8r0nvuds5vxwa0vtha2wm 📋 , but when they attempted to withdraw their money, they were unable to do so. Shortly after, Capiturly.io went offline, leaving the victim without any way to recover their funds. This scam is another example of a Pig Butchering scheme, where fraudsters manipulate victims into investing before cutting off access to their money. If you’ve encountered Capiturly.io or similar scams, report them immediately to help others avoid falling into the same trap.

            A recent DFPI report warns that Paxos Pro (paxos-pro.top) is a fraudulent trading platform. A California resident created an account on the site, exchanged funds for cryptocurrency, and transferred their crypto to the platform to start trading. However, when they attempted to withdraw their funds, they were unable to do so. The victim has been unable to recover any of their money, and the website is no longer operational. This scam follows a common pattern where fake exchanges lure investors in, take their deposits, and then disappear. If you have come across Paxos Pro or similar scams, report them immediately to help prevent others from falling victim.

              A recent DFPI report has identified NRG Bit (nrgbit.com) as a crypto scam. A California resident was introduced to the fraudulent platform through a WhatsApp Bitcoin trading group, where a scammer named Caroline convinced them to move the conversation to Telegram. Caroline guided the victim through setting up an account on NRG Bit, even persuading them to provide personal information such as their driver’s license, phone number, and home address. The victim deposited funds and made a small trade for $500, but when their balance dropped and they attempted to withdraw the remaining funds, they were locked out of their account. Despite reassurances from Caroline, the funds were never returned, and NRG Bit’s website is no longer operational. This is a Pig Butchering scam, where fraudsters build trust before stealing funds. If you’ve encountered NRG Bit or similar scams, report them immediately to help warn others.

                A recent DFPI report has exposed OPA Coin (h5.opacoin.net) as a fraudulent trading platform. A California resident was introduced to the site through a WhatsApp group, which promoted an investment opportunity in Bio Chain X (BCX). The group falsely advertised instant profits on the trading platform, luring the victim into investing. However, when the victim attempted to withdraw funds, they found it was impossible to do so. Shortly after, the website went offline, leaving the investor with no way to recover their money. This scam appears to involve elements of romance baiting and imposter fraud, as it misused the BCX name to gain credibility. If you’ve encountered OPA Coin or similar scams, report them immediately to help prevent further losses.

                  A new report from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) exposes YFI App (yfiapp.com) as a fraudulent trading platform. According to the complaint, a California resident was lured in through Facebook by an alleged employee of the company, who falsely promised daily returns of 1% to 1.8% on their crypto balance. The victim and other investors were instructed to transfer funds to a specific crypto wallet as part of a “group investment.” However, once the wallet reached a high balance, the scammers connected it to a dapp that drained all the funds. In a final attempt to extract more money, the scammers contacted the victim, claiming that a $200,000 deposit would unlock their stolen funds. The victim ultimately lost over $61,000, and YFI App’s website is no longer operational. This case follows a classic Romance Baiting scam—where fraudsters build trust, encourage more deposits, and ultimately vanish with the money. If you’ve encountered the YFI App or similar scams, report them immediately.

                      Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul. Sorry to hear you were affected by this scam. Can you provide more details about what happened? It would be helpful to know how you first came across 20thCenturyStudios.top and how they convinced you to invest. If they contacted you through email, social media, or another platform, that information could also help us investigate further. Let us know anything else you think might be important.

                        Thank you for your follow-up. Unfortunately, payment service providers often refuse refunds in these cases, as scammers design their methods to bypass consumer protection policies. Reporting the domain registrar is a good step—it can sometimes lead to takedowns or warnings for others.

                        If you need further guidance on reporting or exploring potential recovery options, feel free to reach out. Stay cautious, and thanks for helping spread awareness.

                          Thanks for sharing this, Mahesh. The Fargo Investor scam is indeed a serious case of investment fraud, and your report highlights a pattern we’ve seen before—deceptive marketing, promises of high returns, and complete disappearance once funds are sent.

                          To further confirm the fraudulent nature of this platform, the BC Securities Commission (BCSC) has officially placed Fargo Investor on its Investment Caution List (2025) as of February 27, 2025. This means Fargo Investor is NOT registered with the BCSC, and investors are strongly advised to avoid any dealings with this entity.

                          This warning from a regulatory authority reinforces what we already know—Fargo Investor (fargoinvestor.com) is a scam designed to defraud people of their cryptocurrency and investment funds. If anyone has been affected, consider reporting it to financial authorities and blockchain tracing services to track where the stolen funds have gone.

                          Stay vigilant and always verify an investment platform’s legitimacy before transferring any funds, especially in crypto transactions where reversals are impossible.

                            Hi Ernie,

                            Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, the pattern you described—requiring continuous investments to “complete tasks” before allowing withdrawals—is a common tactic used by scam platforms like Blueprismpro.com. These schemes are designed to trap victims into sending more money with false promises of returns.

                            We strongly advise you not to invest any more funds or provide personal information. If you haven’t done so yet, consider reporting the incident to your local authorities. You can also explore recovery options through our Trace My Crypto service.

                            Stay vigilant,

                              Hi Beth,

                              Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, what you described is a common tactic used by scam platforms like financialtrades.live—demanding additional payments for withdrawals and using fake success stories to lure in victims. It’s important not to send any more money or share personal information with them.

                              If you haven’t already, we recommend reporting the incident to your local authorities. You can also use our Trace My Crypto service to explore potential recovery options.

                              Stay safe,

                                Hi T.J.,

                                Thanks for the update. It sounds like you’re dealing with a coordinated scam involving multiple individuals. The sudden involvement of “Aaliyah” and her demand for repayment is a common pressure tactic. Be cautious with any further communications, and avoid sending any funds back to her or others involved.

                                Stay vigilant,
                                – Adam, ScamCrypto.net

                                  Hi Lawrence,

                                  Thank you for sharing your experience.
