If you encounter breadcrumbs.app or someone claiming they can recover stolen cryptocurrency with a “sharkbot attack,” stay away. We recently handled a case where scammers targeted a victim who lost between $90,000 and $130,000 in cryptocurrency due to a compromised wallet. They demanded Bitcoin to be deposited into a trust wallet as part of their supposed recovery plan. This scammer offered no legitimate evidence of their ability to recover the funds and used fear and urgency to pressure the victim.

We stepped in to investigate this situation. Our team traced transactions to exchanges like Bybit, Cryptomkt, and Binance, where the scammers may have cashed out stolen funds. The victim provided key documentation, including proof of transactions, which helped us dig deeper. We prepared a detailed report for further legal and investigative action.

Scammers use promises of recovery to exploit your hope and desperation. They often add layers of complexity, like technical jargon, to make their lies more convincing. Always verify recovery services through reliable sources before trusting them with your money. The promises made by this scammer were nothing more than empty words designed to deceive.

We can’t stress enough how important it is to act cautiously when your funds are at risk. This case demonstrates how easy it is to fall prey to scammers when you’re vulnerable. If you suspect fraud or need help investigating such cases, we encourage you to seek professional guidance. Always question too-good-to-be-true solutions and rely on experts like us to help you navigate these situations safely.

We want to warn you about scammers operating on Blend.vip and Pepeusa.online. These platforms lured people into depositing funds with promises of profits and easy withdrawals. They used crypto wallets to receive BTC, ETH, and USDT, often through exchanges like Crypto.com, CashApp, and PayPal. Some funds even passed through Binance, HTX, OKX, and Revolut. The scammers contacted victims through SMS, Telegram, and WhatsApp, pretending to be trainers or advisors with fake names like Chloe and Millie.

The scheme started by asking for smaller deposits, but the demands grew over time. They promised that adding more funds would unlock previous deposits or complete withdrawals. This tactic is a clear red flag in fraudulent investment schemes. Binance allegedly froze funds, but further investigation showed the scammers used its name to add credibility. They never intended to return any money.

If you are wondering whether this is a scam, the answer is yes. No legitimate platform would require repeated deposits to release your funds, and fraudsters have well-documented this tactic. Stay vigilant and always verify investment opportunities before transferring money. If you believe you’ve been scammed, act quickly to gather evidence and report it to authorities or professional investigators like us.

Protect yourself, and don’t let these fraudsters exploit your trust.

We need to warn you about a scam complaint we received involving the website ProClubTeam.com. According to the details, this fraudulent platform lures victims by pretending to be a legitimate investment opportunity. The scammers behind ProClubTeam.com have also used Telegram for communication, giving false promises and pushing victims into sending money to accounts linked to Atomic Wallet. They even fabricated cryptocurrency transactions, particularly USDT, which were flagged as part of a phishing scheme. We know they requested payments in Canadian dollars through e-transfers, which were sent to a Canadian money exchanger before being forwarded to their fraudulent accounts. They claimed victims needed to purchase a “crypto license” to access their profits. This fabricated fee often ranged as high as $99,000. While one payment was made toward this false claim, the victim refused to send more when additional demands were made.

The scam began when ProClubTeam.com presented itself as a safe and profitable investment platform. The victim trusted the scammers due to their convincing communication and the website’s professional appearance. Over time, the scammers increased their demands, asking for repeated payments and disguising them as fees for transferring profits or meeting compliance requirements. As investigators, we found that the fake cryptocurrency transfers were designed to confuse the victim and create the illusion of legitimacy. While appearing real, these transactions were entirely fabricated to buy the scammers more time to extract additional funds.

We urge you to be cautious of any platform asking for upfront payments under the guise of fees, licenses, or taxes to access your funds. Scammers often use these tactics to trap you into sending money without delivering on their promises. If a website asks for payment via untraceable methods like cryptocurrency, it’s a major red flag. Legitimate companies won’t ask you for such payments to access your money. The use of Telegram for communication further emphasizes the fraudulent nature of this scam, as it allows scammers to remain anonymous and untraceable.

After analyzing the methods, demands, and behaviors associated with ProClubTeam.com, we firmly believe this is a scam. There are no indications that the website ever intended to fulfill its promises to investors. The fraudulent use of cryptocurrency transactions, phishing tactics, and pressure for ongoing payments all point to a sophisticated operation designed to defraud victims. Stay vigilant, and if you have interacted with this website, contact professional investigators to trace your funds and document the scam properly. By sharing this warning, we hope to help you avoid falling into the same trap.

We recently received a complaint about a scam involving the website CEXIK.com and someone allegedly operating out of Boston. The scammer targeted their victim through a cryptocurrency investment scheme, convincing them to send substantial funds over a month. The victim sent $30,000 via cryptocurrency, believing they were engaging in a legitimate opportunity. Investigations have revealed that cash-outs from this scam were processed through platforms like OKX and Square Cash App. Unfortunately, the promised returns never materialized, and attempts to retrieve the funds proved futile.

The scam was reportedly structured as a romance-based scheme, and trust and emotional connection were likely used to manipulate the victim. The scammer requested the funds in cryptocurrency, a method increasingly favored by fraudsters for its relative anonymity and difficulty in tracing. This, combined with the lack of accountability displayed by the operators of CEXIK.com, raises significant concerns about the website’s legitimacy and the intentions of those behind it.

From the details provided, this case demonstrates clear hallmarks of a scam. Emotional manipulation, unfulfilled promises of financial gain, and the choice of cryptocurrency for transactions all point to an organized effort to defraud. We strongly advise avoiding engaging with CEXIK.com or similar platforms requesting cryptocurrency investments. If you are ever approached with such opportunities, proceed with extreme caution and verify the legitimacy of the website and the people behind it. Scammers rely on building trust and exploiting emotions; being vigilant is your best defense against becoming a victim.
