January 7, 2025 at 2:14 pm in reply to: m.micmarkfx.cc: Romance-Linked Trading Scam Leading to Major Losses #6642
If you’ve encountered the trading platform at m.micmarkfx.cc/#/user or used the ACMJ app, be cautious. This case involves a scammer who manipulated emotions to steal funds. The scammer first connected with the victim on Facebook, pretending to be a romantic partner. Over time, they pushed the victim to invest in short-term trading for ETH, BTC, and gold. They promised high returns of 18-20%. Eventually, they persuaded the victim to use a trading app called ACMJ, which linked to the Mic Markets platform. The app later blocked withdrawals, claiming the victim hadn’t met “trading volume requirements.” They then demanded extra taxes of $2,852.64 before any funds could be released.
The victim had $30,000 trapped in their account and tried everything to withdraw funds, including taking screenshots of fake customer service responses and error messages. The app seemed to be under the scammer’s full control, as it mysteriously locked and unlocked functionality. The scammer also used emotional pressure, gifting a fake $53,000 to encourage larger investments and even asking the victim to use their mother’s identity to create another account. All attempts to withdraw funds failed. The platform eventually demanded additional payments, which raised more red flags.
This scam used manipulation, false promises, and technical controls to isolate and deceive the victim.
It’s clear this was a well-planned scam. Every move—from fake gifts to locking withdrawals—was meant to keep victims paying. If you see apps or websites with these tactics, avoid them. While the victim hoped it wasn’t too late, this case confirms the danger of trusting unverified platforms and people online. Always investigate before investing, and if you’ve fallen victim, reach out to professionals for help.
If you’ve come across the site themusicscalersusa.com, you need to be very cautious. This platform lures people into a supposed music promotion system but quickly turns into a money trap. They create excuses to block withdrawals and demand more money from you. They even use fake features like “lucky albums,” which force you to pay increasing fees to unlock your funds. In one case, the scammers asked for half of a $57,900 withdrawal amount just to “unlock” the account. They also tampered with account details, like phone numbers, to create even more obstacles. If you’ve sent cryptocurrency to their addresses or communicated with them, save all the proof you have. Every screenshot, email, or message helps.
We helped investigate this case and found a calculated loss of over $22,000. Our team reviewed evidence, traced cryptocurrency transactions, and drafted a report.
In the end, we believe this platform is an outright scam. Their actions show a clear intent to deceive. If you’ve dealt with them, don’t lose hope. Gather your evidence and reach out for help. Scammers thrive on silence, so let’s expose their tricks and stop others from falling victim.
January 7, 2025 at 1:59 pm in reply to: Telegram-Linked Cryptocurrency Conversion Scam via Eutrandpc.com #6638You need to be extra cautious with websites like eutrandpc.com and euhundlemeyi.top. A scammer using the name Jonathan Edward Fredette (phone: 323-208-9686) has been linked to these sites. Victims are tricked into buying Bitcoin and transferring it to a Trust Wallet. The funds are supposed to convert into USD but instead show up as USDT (Tether). The scammer then creates barriers to prevent victims from withdrawing their money, claiming special authorization is needed. Victims report delays and unhelpful responses from Trust Wallet.
In this case, over $39,000 was stolen. The victim shared all details, including proof of transactions from platforms like Trust Wallet, Coinbase, and Strike. We traced the scam to Custody.ChainUp. Our investigators analyzed transaction histories and drafted a report, which we shared with the victim. The scammer also used multiple domains to add confusion and avoid detection.
This is a clear investment scam. The tactics involve impersonating legitimate platforms and preying on trust. You should avoid transferring cryptocurrency to unknown wallets or relying on unverified third-party services. If anyone promises quick conversions or easy withdrawals but demands extra steps, it’s likely a scam. We believe this case shows the importance of due diligence when dealing with crypto. If you’ve been scammed, contact professionals to help trace your funds and stop fraudsters like this.
January 7, 2025 at 1:54 pm in reply to: Sophisticated Phishing Scam Targeting Arculus Wallet Users via Arculus.at #6637You need to know about a phishing scam targeting cryptocurrency holders through a fake website, arculus.at. The scammers impersonated Arculus, a trusted hardware wallet provider, to steal recovery phrases. Victims received emails with a subject like “Private Invitation.” These emails appeared authentic, even addressing the recipients by name. When they clicked the link, it led them to a website mimicking the real Arculus platform. The website tricked them into entering their 12-word recovery phrases. Using this information, scammers drained wallets, transferring BTC, ETH, LINK, and other assets. Traces of these stolen funds show cashouts through Gate.io, Whitebit, KuCoin, MEXC Global, and XT. The fake website stopped working on October 15, 2024, but its damage remains.
We understand how devastating this can be. That’s why CNC Intelligence got involved in this case. We traced the stolen funds and identified exchanges linked to the cashouts. Our investigators shared the findings with the victim and prepared a comprehensive report. The process isn’t over yet, but every piece of evidence strengthens the case against these criminals.
This scam highlights how sophisticated phishing attacks have become. Always double-check links in emails, even when they seem legitimate. Never share recovery phrases online, no matter who asks. If you fall victim to a scam like this, act quickly. The sooner experts begin tracing your assets, the better your chances are of recovery. Yes, this is undoubtedly a scam. Don’t ignore the red flags. Stay informed and protect your investments.
We want to warn you about a cryptocurrency scam linked to the website edgemarketpro.com and individuals using Telegram (779-8045250) and the email
jimbenson343@gmail.com.
This scheme tricked people into investing through what appeared to be a legitimate Initial Exchange Offering (IEO). Once investments grew, the scammers demanded a “capital gains tax” of 0.05% to release funds into an escrow account. If you’ve come across similar demands, know this is not how legitimate platforms operate.One victim invested $45,000 through platforms like Coinbase and Trust Wallet. They also noticed $18 disappearing from their Trust Wallet and suspected someone hacked their phone. The scammers tried to log into their Coinbase account. These tactics show how far they’ll go to take your money. Even when pressed for answers, the scammers acted aggressively to pressure the victim into paying more.
We worked on this case by tracing transactions involving Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). The funds were cashed out on exchanges like OKX, Coinbase, and MEXC Global. We provided a detailed report and helped connect the victim with law enforcement and legal options.
From what we’ve seen, this is a scam. It preys on people who trust too quickly or feel pressured by fake deadlines. If someone asks for escrow payments, it’s likely a red flag. Always double-check websites, and never send money without verifying who you’re dealing with. If you think you’ve been scammed, contact experts or law enforcement right away. Together, we can make it harder for scammers to succeed.
January 7, 2025 at 1:45 pm in reply to: Scammed by Andersenlab-km.com: A Costly Lesson in Crypto Investment #6635When dealing with cryptocurrencies, you must be vigilant. We recently handled a case involving the website AndersenLab-KM.com, where scammers tricked a victim into sending Ethereum (ETH) to cover fake “negative marks” in a task system. Each time the victim tried to withdraw funds, the scammers claimed another deficit needed to be covered. This cycle of deposits continued until the victim realized they couldn’t recover their money. Sadly, the scammers refused to fix anything or offer real support.
We saw the same pattern here that scammers often use to trap victims. They create a system that forces you to send more and more money with no end in sight. If you’re ever told to deposit additional funds to “fix” an account or to withdraw your own money, that’s a big red flag. This scam was well-organized, but details like the Ethereum transactions could help investigators trace their activity. Though no specific crypto addresses were provided by the victim, we used the details available to map their fraudulent activity and draft a comprehensive report.
CNC Intelligence worked on this case by analyzing the transactions, preparing a detailed report, and providing police instructions for further investigation.
If you ever encounter a setup like this, don’t engage further. Stop all communication and consult with professionals immediately. Yes, this is a scam. It’s a well-crafted trap designed to keep you in an endless loop of payments.
Stay cautious, and if you need help, let us know.
You need to know about braveacf.com if you’re dealing with cryptocurrency. This platform has been linked to a scam that drained $7,000 worth of crypto from a victim. We traced transactions involving 7 BTC and 2 ETH. The funds were cashed out using Binance, Coinbase, and Square Cash App. This information can help investigators pinpoint the culprits behind this fraud. If you’re tracking these cases, start here.
When we handled this case, our team at CNC Intelligence reviewed the data thoroughly. We helped trace every transaction and drafted a report to support law enforcement. The victim reported losses of $7,000, but our calculations showed a total loss closer to $10,460. This gap in reported and actual losses often happens when fraudsters manipulate victims into thinking they’ve lost less.
If you’re wondering if this is a scam, it absolutely is. The site promised big returns but left the victim with empty accounts. Investigators should keep an eye on the platforms involved in cashouts. This information can break open the network behind braveacf.com. We worked closely with the client and provided tools to take legal steps.
Scams like this show why diligence is so important in crypto. You can’t always spot fraudsters, but every piece of evidence helps. Stay vigilant and share this information with others who might be at risk. If you’ve encountered braveacf.com or similar schemes, let us know. We’re here to help.
January 7, 2025 at 12:37 pm in reply to: High-Stakes Financial Deception Uncovered at Eyekon-Best.com #6631We want to warn you about a scam tied to eyekon-best.com. This fraudulent website preyed on victims using false promises of employment. Over $237,000 was lost in this scam, with funds traced to transactions through Zap Solutions and Cross River Bank.
This scam started with an employment offer that seemed genuine. The scammers used convincing communication to gain trust and request payments. Victims made multiple transfers, depleting their savings, and even taking loans. The fraudsters vanished after the funds were sent, leaving victims without recourse. CNC Intelligence investigated this case and provided detailed reports to help law enforcement trace the money.
It’s clear this website is a scam. Everything from their tactics to the fake promises points to a well-organized operation. If you’ve seen anything similar, report it immediately. We urge you to stay cautious online and double-check offers that ask for money upfront.
Stop right now if you’ve come across Yieldify.site/#/home. This fraudulent site pretends to be the legitimate platform yieldify.com. Victims have lost significant money here, with reported losses of up to $111,638. The scammers used cryptocurrency wallets for Ethereum (ETH-15) and Bitcoin (BTC-4) to siphon funds. Transactions were processed through Coinbase, Crypto.com, Robinhood, and Cash App.
The site promises services that never deliver, trapping you with false claims and demanding additional payments. A victim who contacted us described how they got caught in a web of fake promises. The scammers also tried to pressure them into paying extra fees, supposedly for recovering funds. These are classic warning signs of a scam.
We worked closely with the victim to trace the transactions and gather evidence. Our team analyzed the data, drafted detailed reports, and provided guidance for legal and law enforcement referrals. The investigation revealed clear patterns of fraudulent activity tied to this platform. While resolution in such cases isn’t always guaranteed, this underscores the importance of acting quickly when you suspect fraud.
If you’re wondering if this is a scam, we can say without a doubt that it is. The fraudulent design of the site and the impersonation of a legitimate business leave no room for doubt. Protect yourself by avoiding sites like this, verifying legitimacy, and staying cautious with crypto platforms.
We need to talk about Bitiqs.net, a platform that lures people in with promises of low fees and easy withdrawals. You should know that scammers on this site request cryptocurrency deposits and lock your funds behind endless demands for more money. They even claim that accounts with over $5,000 deposits get locked unless you pay additional fees in Bitcoin or Tether (USDT). Their fake customer support provides copy-paste responses, referencing fabricated “agreement rules” to justify blocking withdrawals. Victims report losing thousands while trying to access their own money.
In one case, a victim deposited over $13,000 after watching a YouTube ad for this fraudulent platform. At every step, the scammers claimed the deposits weren’t enough. They demanded payments for premium memberships, unlocking withdrawal tiers, and even a supposed “UK Money Laundering Act” fee. When the victim tried to withdraw, they were blocked again, with the scammers insisting on even more deposits. The website has many complaints online describing similar tactics.
We worked with the victim to document this scheme and share it with authorities like IC3 and Action Fraud UK. Though we couldn’t resolve the case directly, we’re helping to spread awareness and warn others before they fall victim. Everything about this platform screams scam. Legitimate exchanges don’t repeatedly block withdrawals or demand extra deposits to access your funds.
Always research a platform before transferring your money. If you see a site like Bitiqs.net, stay far away. It’s not worth the risk.
January 7, 2025 at 11:54 am in reply to: Abs-ptr.com Fraud: Users Lose Money in a Crypto Romance Scam #6626We recently investigated a case involving the website abs-ptr.com, which has scammed users out of their cryptocurrency. The platform used investment promises to lure victims. Funds were traced to cash-out transactions on Shakepay and Gate.io, but the scammers remain active. While the website’s operators faced a lawsuit and victims reportedly won, the scam’s impact continues.
You should avoid this platform. It tricks people into investing and then makes it impossible to withdraw funds. In this case, the victim reported a loss of $12,000, though the actual calculated loss was over $15,000. Scammers often use such tricks to hide the full extent of the theft.
We worked on this case by analyzing transactions, tracing fund flows, and identifying cash-outs.
This platform shows classic scam patterns. The promises of profits are fake, and funds disappear as soon as you deposit them. While the legal action against the site gives some hope, it doesn’t guarantee recovery for all victims.
If you come across platforms like this, think twice before investing. Once your funds leave your account, getting them back is incredibly hard. Always research any investment opportunity carefully.
January 7, 2025 at 11:10 am in reply to: h5.astrocoin.vip Defrauds Investors with False Promises #6624If you’ve come across h5.astrocoin.vip or been invited to invest through their platform, stop immediately. This site has been linked to a cryptocurrency investment scam where victims were tricked into sending money through platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, and CashApp. Scammers used cryptocurrency addresses, including wallets receiving USDT, ETH, and BTC, to collect funds.
We investigated a case where $50,000 was stolen under the promise of high returns. The scam started in May 2024, and transactions were traced across several platforms, including Binance, Huione Pay, and HitBTC. Victims were pressured to keep sending money, only to discover they couldn’t withdraw their “profits.” Scammers claimed additional payments were needed for fees or taxes, which were just more lies.
Our team at CNC Intelligence conducted a thorough cryptocurrency tracing investigation for this case. We tracked six transactions and compiled a detailed report.
If you’re considering an offer from AstroCoin or similar sites, think twice. Their tactics rely on urgency, trust, and promises of fast money. Always verify investment opportunities through trusted channels. Based on the evidence, we believe this is a clear scam.
InvestVoyager.com is a fraudulent investment website that scammed one of our clients out of $72,000. The scam involved Bitcoin (BTC) transactions using the Kraken exchange. The scammer promised profits through investments, but these promises were lies. They took the money and never returned it. If you’ve interacted with this site or its representatives, check for any emails or messages.
We investigated this case and traced a Bitcoin transaction for the client.
From the information we’ve seen, this is clearly a scam. No legitimate investment platform operates this way. Always research websites before sending money, especially large amounts. If you’ve been scammed, reach out quickly. Time is crucial for tracing assets.
Stay safe, and share this warning with others. Scams like this thrive on silence and ignorance. Let’s stop them together.
January 7, 2025 at 10:57 am in reply to: digitalsilkapp.com – Fake Crypto Mining Platform Defrauds User of $18,829 #6622We want to warn you about a scam involving the website digitalsilkapp.com. The scammers used this site to lure victims into fraudulent investments. In this case, the victim sent nearly $20,000 in cryptocurrency using platforms like the Strike app, Cash App, and MetaMask. The funds were later moved to Binance, HitBTC, Square Cash App, and MEXC Global exchanges. No specific crypto addresses from the scammers were provided, but their methods show a calculated and organized approach.
The scam started with promises of returns that never came. After multiple transactions, the victim realized something was wrong and sought help. We conducted a thorough investigation, tracing seven transactions and creating a detailed report. This report will help law enforcement track the stolen funds.
Yes, this is a scam. The website exploited someone’s trust and manipulated them into sending money. They left no way to deliver on their promises. Scammers often use this tactic to prey on people who want to grow their savings or invest. We assisted by analyzing the data, tracing the funds, and preparing the case for further action.
Stay cautious. Always double-check any investment platform and verify its legitimacy before sending money. Scammers rely on your trust to succeed, and with cases like this, we see how damaging it can be.
January 6, 2025 at 1:00 pm in reply to: pc.mancuifcfx.com Exposed: $6,504 Lost in Fake Trading Scam #6595We must warn you about a serious scam involving the website pc.mancuifcfx.com and a group calling themselves Recuva Hacking Solutions. The scammers used the crypto addresses bc1qwndp8ts4rpl7pclapqqcdpnxgtkvqy52a2syvj and bc1qmlujsmrgpjpve6dv98uyj4qe3esqxtnyxs23m9. If you see these addresses or interact with this website, proceed cautiously.
This case started with promises of quick financial gains through Mancui IFC FX. The victim deposited funds, and the scam showed the money in their account. However, the scammers blocked all attempts to withdraw. To make matters worse, the victim contacted Recuva Hacking Solutions, who demanded more money, claiming they could recover the lost funds. The total reported loss was $45,000, with several transactions traced to platforms like Changenow, Hitbtc, Bitstamp, and Bybit.
We worked on this case by investigating the wallet addresses and analyzing the transaction history. We found mismatched wallet details and suspicious patterns in the scammer’s methods during the investigation. Our team provided a detailed report to the victim, guiding them on the steps to work with law enforcement.
From what we’ve seen, this is a well-organized fraud operation. If you’re dealing with Mancui IFC FX or anyone promising to recover funds for an upfront fee, you’re likely dealing with a scam. Stay alert, and always verify before you trust. If you’ve been affected, reach out for professional help. We’re here to assist you with tracing and investigating cases like this.
