Hi Donna,
Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Apptaura.cc appears to be connected to the previously reported scam platform, Apptaura-Online.Store. The significant “Pending Balance” with a zero “Total Balance” and “Today Profit” is a common red flag in fraudulent investment platforms. Scammers often display large pending balances to encourage further deposits, claiming you need to pay withdrawal or verification fees to access your funds.
We strongly advise against making any further payments. If you’ve deposited funds, report the incident to local authorities and your financial institution. We recommend gathering all communications and transaction records for evidence.
Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or guidance on reporting procedures.
Stay safe,
Adam – ScamCrypto.netHi Larry,
That’s correct. txfun.com has been confirmed as a fraudulent platform. Multiple reports indicate that users have been unable to withdraw their funds, with the site ceasing communication after deposits. We strongly advise against engaging with this platform or providing any personal or financial information.
If you or someone you know has been affected, feel free to reach out to us for guidance on the next steps.

We just received another complaint regarding this scam:
I saw an ad on Instagram promoting a Bitcoin trading platform, Gemini Pro / sczesw.com. I clicked on the link, which redirected me to WhatsApp, where I was connected with an assistant named Mandy Clark.
I made a few trades, and my account balance grew to $32,000. I then paid $8,360 to withdraw money from my account. However, I was told that I had attempted to withdraw too much, causing my account to freeze.
To unfreeze it, I deposited $4,700. When I tried to withdraw again, they claimed I had missed a step, and the account was frozen once more. I deposited another $4,700 to unfreeze it again. This time, I was able to withdraw $200.
When I attempted another withdrawal, they told me my credit score was too low on the app. I was asked to deposit $5,000 to raise my credit score. I have been waiting for a $2,000 withdrawal for over a month now.
Hi Alberts,
Sorry to hear about your friend’s situation. Goldensphereagency.net appears to be a clone or a related scam to Goldensphereagency.com. Since the funds were sent via wire or bank transfer rather than crypto, there may still be a chance to recover them.
Your friend should:
- Immediately contact his bank to report the fraud and request a chargeback or reversal, if possible.
- File a complaint with relevant financial authorities, such as the FCA (UK), SEC (US), or the financial regulator in his country.
- Report the scam to law enforcement agencies and fraud reporting platforms.
If he has transaction details, email records, or any other proof, these could help in an investigation. Let us know if we can provide guidance on tracking down more information about the scam.

Craig, I’m deeply sorry to hear about your brother’s situation. These scams are devastating, and the impact they have on victims and their families is truly tragic.
Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns, we cannot share victim contact information directly. However, we strongly encourage anyone affected by Blockdcgchain.top to report their case to law enforcement and relevant financial authorities.
If you have any documented evidence or details that could help warn others, feel free to share them here or submit them through our reporting channels. We remain committed to exposing scams and assisting victims in any way possible.
Stay strong, and I hope justice is served.
Adam
Thank you for sharing your experience. Based on the details you’ve provided, it’s clear that Coinszilla.net is engaging in deceptive practices, including false verification requirements and withdrawal restrictions. The connection to a dissolved UK company further raises red flags.
We strongly advise against making any additional deposits, as this is a common scam tactic to extract more funds from victims. If you haven’t already, report the platform to your local financial authorities and relevant scam-reporting agencies.
We’ll continue investigating and updating our records on this fraudulent operation. If you have any additional evidence, such as email correspondence or transaction details, feel free to share them.
Stay cautious, and thank you for bringing this to the community’s attention.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Donna. The tactics you described—promising high returns, locking funds behind commission and tax payments, and demanding upfront fees—are all classic signs of an investment scam. Scammers use these barriers to extract more money without ever allowing withdrawals. Unfortunately, no legitimate trading platform operates this way.
Do you mind sharing how much you initially invested before they blocked withdrawals? It could help others recognize the scale of this scam.
If you’ve made any payments, report them to your bank, PayPal, and relevant financial authorities immediately. Also, avoid any further communication with them, as they may try to pressure you into sending more money. If you have any transaction details, wallet addresses, or contact info linked to them, feel free to share them here to help warn others. Stay safe!
Sorry to hear that, Richard. Unfortunately, the restriction on trading and withdrawal is a common tactic used by scam platforms to pressure victims into depositing more money. Since you can’t access the site anymore, it’s likely they’ve either blocked you or are in the process of shutting down. If you made any payments, report them to your bank or payment provider as soon as possible. Also, consider filing a report with your local financial authorities. If you have any additional details—wallet addresses, emails, or contact info used by the scammers—feel free to share them here to help warn others. Stay safe!
Scam Type: Investment Scam
Scammer’s Website: Sczesw.comScammer’s Contact:
WhatsApp: Manager David – (929) 639-0901
WhatsApp: Mandy Clark, Assistant – (609) 839-1738
Address: 315 Park Avenue South, 18th Floor, New York (likely fake)The scam started with an Instagram ad featuring Elon Musk, promoting a Bitcoin investment opportunity. It led the victim to open an account on Sczesw.com (Gemini Pro) and begin trading.
Initially, they deposited $200, traded with a “senior analyst,” and saw a small profit.
Encouraged by the results, they kept trading and paid small commission fees, building their account balance up to $1,000.
They were then invited to a “group trade,” where their balance supposedly grew to $32,000. To withdraw, they were asked to pay a $9,360 commission. They complied.
Their first withdrawal of $200 went through via Cash App—just enough to build trust.
But when they tried to withdraw $2,000, they were told they didn’t follow the “correct steps.”
The scammers then demanded a $4,700 deposit to “unfreeze” the account.
After that, they were hit with more excuses: Blockchain delays → Deposit another $4,700.
Credit score below 80 → Deposit another $5,000 to avoid further penalties.
Still no withdrawal. Now, they’re being told to deposit even more or wait 240 days for their money.
Red Flags in This Scam
- Fake celebrity endorsements (Elon Musk was NOT involved)
- Too-good-to-be-true profits
- “KYC verification” is used as a trust tactic
- Small withdrawal allowed at first to lure victims deeper
- Constant extra fees and conditions to access funds
- Blaming “blockchain delays” and “credit scores” (which have nothing to do with withdrawals)
If you’re considering investing in crypto, beware of websites like Sczesw.com that require deposits to withdraw funds. Legitimate platforms NEVER demand additional payments for withdrawals.

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!
Thanks 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!

Provestics.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.
