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.
Thanks, Ready, for highlighting this critical issue with the fake Telegram group. It’s alarming how these platforms evolve to include more deceptive layers, tricking users into escalating investments with no real return. Sharing this info is vital for awareness—let’s keep exposing these scams to protect the community. If you can provide us with the Telegram link or screenshots, it could significantly help others recognize and avoid similar traps. Stay vigilant!
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,
Adam – ScamCrypto.netHi 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,
Adam – ScamCrypto.netHi 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.netAnother complaint regarding GenesisMiningBot.com was just posted on the Better Business Bureau by a person who lost over $1000:
Genesis Mining is a legitimate cloud mining service. However, someone replicated the website layout and created a fraudulent site called GENESISMININGBOT.com. I purchased hash power for two years with the intention of mining Bitcoin. After several attempts to withdraw the generated amount, I realized it was a scam. I reported it to customer service but received no response. I want to warn others to avoid falling victim to the same scam.
Hi T.J.,
Thanks for sharing the details of your experience. It sounds like you’re dealing with a common scam tactic where platforms create fake withdrawal requirements to block access to funds.
Could you let us know how much was lost in this situation? If you’re interested, we can guide you on options for tracing the funds and taking further action.
