How Provesterlite Scammed $69,340 and Left False Promises
The website Provesterlite.com—formerly known as Pro-Vester.com—lured victims into its trap using deception and false hope. Scammers convinced their targets to send Bitcoin to external wallets, promising massive returns. One scammer pretended to be Brandon Roland, guiding every step through WhatsApp. When funds grew, a fake manager demanded a $28,400 fee on official-looking Chase bank letterhead. Another individual, claiming to help, extorted even more money through wire transfers and false FedEx claims. Crypto wallet addresses, screenshots, and fraudulent documents back these events, proving this was no accident but a well-planned con.
This nightmare started in May 2024. The victim, desperate to recover her savings, even sold part of her home equity. Each time she thought her funds were coming back, scammers added new hurdles. Videos of people “happily receiving money” and fake tracking numbers on FedEx labels tried to make it all seem real. But when FedEx “required crypto payments,” the scam’s reality became clearer.
We understand how devastating it feels to fall for scams like these. CNC Intelligence reviewed the evidence and traced transactions across major exchanges, including Coincola and Binance. The detailed investigation gave law enforcement clear leads to pursue.
If you’re wondering whether this is a scam, let us be clear—it is. The layers of deceit, fake documents, and relentless extortion leave no doubt. Whether you’ve encountered Provesterlite.com or others like it, remember you’re not alone. We’re here to help investigate, trace, and recover where possible.
Love or Lies? Exposing web3-ethereum.vip’s $145,000 Scam
When scams hit close to home, they cut deep. A victim recently lost $145,000 to the fraudulent site web3-ethereum.vip, orchestrated through a romance scam. The scammer played on emotions, gained trust, and directed the victim to invest in this fake platform. Funds were funneled through cryptocurrency transactions, later traced to exchanges like Btse.com and HTX. Unfortunately, these addresses and transactions became part of a larger web of deceit.
Imagine believing you’re building a future with someone you trust, only to have that trust shattered. That’s what happened here. The scammer promised financial growth and security through a “special investment opportunity.” But when the victim tried to withdraw funds, excuses and silence followed. The fraudulent domain, web3-ethereum.vip, impersonated a legitimate Ethereum-related entity, adding credibility to their con.
We worked closely with the victim to trace the stolen cryptocurrency. Our investigators uncovered two key cash-out points and compiled a report for authorities. Every trace we uncovered brought some clarity to a confusing and painful ordeal.
If you ever face a situation like this, trust your instincts. Scams like these are real, but with diligence and expert help, they can be fought. The romance may have been fake, but the crime is very real. Don’t let emotions blind you to the warning signs. Always verify before you trust.
Lost $122K to Picotoken.com: What You Need to Know
We want to share an important case to help you avoid falling into the same trap. The scam revolved around Picotoken.com, where scammers used names like Lee Bohl, Eunice Jasper, and Hansom Lee to lure victims. They reached out through WhatsApp and Telegram, using contact numbers like 571-224-3481, 323-287-4064, and 302-444-2832. They even linked two Picotoken profiles to numbers 425-922-0129 and 425-922-2561. Over $122,000 was lost in this scam.
The scammers made big promises. They claimed their “contract trading” system could bring huge profits. First, they gained trust with small, profitable trades. Then they pushed for bigger investments with guarantees to recover any losses. They even created fake investment teams like the “SEAL investment team” to make their schemes look credible. When one trade lost $55,000, they blamed an “incorrect trade” and pressured the victim to invest even more.
CNC Intelligence got involved to help trace the funds. Our investigators worked with law enforcement. The scammers’ tactics were calculated and targeted. Using multiple phone numbers, fake promises, and social engineering, they aimed to extract as much money as possible.
This case reminds us of a key question: Was this ever about investing? Or was it just a sophisticated lie? From the evidence, the answer is clear. This was a well-planned scam. If you or someone you know faces a similar situation, don’t wait. Seek help immediately.
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.
CNC Intelligence helped uncover the full extent of this operation, documenting every detail and tracing the money trail. If you’ve been affected by this scam or a similar one, reach out. We’re here to help.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mike. Unfortunately, the tactics you described—introducing unexpected taxes, fees, and additional requirements—are classic signs of a scam. Fraudulent platforms like BNEX often create hurdles to delay withdrawals or pressure you to send more money. The claim about your account being “inadequate” is likely another ploy to exploit you further.
We strongly recommend that you stop all communication with them immediately and avoid sending any additional funds. If you’ve already shared personal or financial information, take steps to secure your accounts. Consider reporting this case to local authorities or filing a complaint with relevant fraud organizations. If you’d like help tracing your funds or need further guidance, we’re here to assist. Stay vigilant and cautious moving forward.
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’re considering investing with ForexTron Innovation Markets (forextron-innovationsmarket.online), think again. This platform tricked one victim into losing $14,895 through a Bitcoin investment scheme. The scammers used small transactions to avoid suspicion and processed cashouts through the cryptocurrency exchange Remitano. They communicated with the victim using vague promises of profits but never delivered on any of them. The scammers left no way to recover the money directly, and their tactics show they were well-practiced.
We investigated this case by tracing six Bitcoin transactions tied to the scam. The traces led to Remitano, where the funds were likely laundered or withdrawn.
This scam checks every box for being fraudulent. A flashy website, fake promises, and a complete lack of accountability. We urge you to avoid any dealings with ForexTron Innovation Markets. Always research investment platforms thoroughly before transferring funds. If you’ve encountered something similar, report it immediately. Together, we can expose these schemes and make it harder for scammers to succeed.
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.
If you’ve encountered the website investingideas.co.uk or individuals like Israel Santiago (+44-7957406212), Katherine Koval (+44-7423021850), or an employee at Lucas Kline (+44-7778045551), tread carefully. This case revealed a scam where victims lost over $200,000, including $140,000 in Ethereum ERC-20 tokens and $60,000 in wire transfers. The scammers used platforms like Binance and Kraken for transactions and demanded additional taxes and fees. They even gained trust by pretending to be a famous person and offering financial advice for extra retirement money.
The fraudsters disappeared after taking the funds. They made excuses, such as claiming someone was jailed in China. They also used remote access software like AnyDesk to further manipulate the victim. The scammers blocked all communication after stealing the money, leaving the victim stranded.
We at CNC Intelligence helped investigate the traces and advised the victim to secure their devices. This scam highlights the importance of verifying any investment opportunity before sending money.
If you encounter similar tactics, report them immediately. This scheme shows all the red flags of a well-organized scam. Protect yourself and seek professional help if you’re unsure.
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.
If you’ve come across constantntactnrm.com, stay far away. This scam lures you in with promises of a part-time job in Bitcoin sales. The scammers ask you to complete tasks, claiming you’ll earn commissions. They then demand you send cryptocurrency to fix a “negative balance” in your account. One of their known cryptocurrency addresses is
16LJGHM6pETxkDJ3FMStaRbn7yXBm6m1rn 
. Once you comply, they block your access to everything, leaving your funds trapped.We recently worked on a case involving this scheme. The victim lost $12,000 after following the scammers’ instructions. The tasks seemed simple at first, but each step led deeper into their trap. In the end, the scammers kept all the funds. Our team at CNC Intelligence helped by tracing transactions and preparing a detailed report.
This is definitely a scam. Everything about it is designed to manipulate you into sending money with no chance of getting it back. The professional design of the site and the promises of commissions make it convincing, but it’s all fake. If you see anything like this, do not engage. Instead, report it immediately to authorities and avoid sending any money.
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 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.
