Beware of Bitoneapp: The $150,000 Scam Story

When we first heard about Bitoneapp.com, it was clear something wasn’t right. The scam started with promises of big profits and quick gains. But when it came time to withdraw the funds, the nightmare began. The scammers demanded repeated “risk value refundable tax” payments. The victim, trusting the process, paid $45,000 and $29,000. Then they asked for another $60,000, claiming the account’s “risk value” needed lowering before a withdrawal could happen. Their emails came from mail@bitoneus.com, and they threatened to freeze the account if the payment wasn’t made.

We worked on this case and traced over ten transactions involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC. The total loss? A staggering $150,000. Our investigators prepared a full report, including a detailed timeline and the scammer’s communication patterns. We also helped the victim contact the Brampton Police and RCMP in Canada.

If you’ve been contacted by Bitoneapp or similar platforms, beware. Their tactics include fake profit displays, high-pressure tax demands, and threats of account freezes. This is a scam. There is no chance of recovering funds by paying them more. We urge you to stay alert and avoid falling for their tricks.

We want to warn you about a troubling case involving the website bnextrade.com (also accessible at bnex.cc). The scammers behind this platform lured their target using personal charm, posing as an approachable Asian woman eager to teach cryptocurrency investments. The victim made two payments through Coinbase, totaling $35,000, which were transferred to the scam’s addresses. Investigators traced one payment to a cash-out at OKX and found another amount still held in a wallet.

The scammers used a romance-like approach to gain trust, promising quick profits through their fake platform. These tactics often manipulate emotions, making it hard to spot the red flags. The case highlights the use of polished communication and fraudulent investment sites to steal funds.

CNC Intelligence played a key role by analyzing transactions, tracing the funds, and preparing a detailed report for law enforcement.

This situation reminds us to stay cautious, especially when someone online encourages you to invest. Always verify platforms before transferring money, and keep an eye out for signs of emotional manipulation. Remember, real opportunities don’t require trust based solely on words. If you’ve been targeted by a scam, let us know. We’re here to help.

If you’ve come across pc.axxmpro.com, stop immediately. This platform is part of a large-scale investment scam, and we’ve seen firsthand how it works. Victims were promised big profits but instead lost significant amounts of money. The scammers communicated through Telegram, SMS, and Facebook, using names like Bella Muise (phone: 312-395-0215). They also requested payments via Cash App and cryptocurrency wallets, including BTC and ETH addresses. Some victims even fell for a fake recovery service run by people calling themselves Sophia and Andrew, who exploited their desperation and took even more money.

In this case, the victim initially lost money investing through the site. When they sought help recovering the funds, the so-called recovery agents charged them fees for taxes and special codes, promising to return the money. The promises were false. Instead, they kept adding more fees, pushing the victim deeper into debt. We worked with law enforcement and provided detailed cryptocurrency tracing.

This is a textbook example of a scam. The fake investment site had no intention of paying anyone back, and the recovery service was another con. The evidence speaks for itself. If you’ve been targeted by this site or its affiliates, report it to local authorities and avoid giving them any more of your money. At CNC Intelligence, we continue to support victims by investigating these scams and exposing their tactics. Always be cautious with online investments, and never trust unsolicited recovery offers. Stay safe.

We want to warn you about a scam involving the fake website dyigcrypto.org and its app, which also operated under dyiggroup.co. The scammers used fake trading platforms, targeting victims with promises of high-profit signals. They convinced people to send cryptocurrency from reputable exchanges like Coinbase into their fraudulent system. The funds were cashed out through platforms like OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, and others. If you encounter these names or any related wallets, proceed with extreme caution.

This scam started with a Facebook ad that claimed to offer amazing trading opportunities. The scammers used aliases like “Professor Bruce” and “Assistant Helen” to communicate. Victims were directed to download a fake app and transfer funds. They delayed withdrawals by claiming unstable trading conditions, which was just a way to keep the money flowing in.

CNC Intelligence worked on this case, tracing the transactions across the blockchain and identifying cash-outs on major exchanges. We collaborated with law enforcement, providing them with detailed reports.

This is clearly a scam. The fake trading platform, the false promises, and the disappearance of funds all point to fraud. If you come across dyigcrypto.org, dyiggroup.co, or similar platforms, avoid them at all costs. Scammers thrive on deception, and your vigilance can help stop them.

Stay informed and protect yourself. Let us know if you have encountered anything similar. We’re here to help.

You should be cautious of investment opportunities from patagonia-trade24.finance. This website ran a cryptocurrency investment scam. It lured people in by accepting Bitcoin deposits and showing fake growth in their portfolios. One person saw their balance grow to over $82,800. When they tried to withdraw, the scammers demanded extra deposits totaling $23,900. After sending the money, all communication stopped. No withdrawals were ever processed.

Another scammer group, Cyber Block Detectives, posed as recovery agents. They claimed to recover the lost funds and used Atomic Wallet to display fake funds as real. These funds grew in the wallet but required more deposits to “release.” The victim deposited $30,450. After a supposed security breach at Atomic Wallet, all real funds vanished, leaving their balance at zero. We suspect a connection between the scammers and the wallet.

CNC Intelligence traced transactions across platforms like Binance, ChangeNOW, HTX Crypto, and Coinbase.

This scam used clever tricks to gain trust, but the facts make it clear. Fake growth, blocked withdrawals, and shady recovery agents show a deliberate plan to steal funds. Always verify platforms before investing or hiring help. We want you to stay safe and informed. If you’ve encountered similar scams, share your story. It helps us investigate and warn others.

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.

You 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.
