If 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.

We 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.

We want to warn you about a job scam linked to the website diffco.us. In this case, the scammers asked the victim to complete tasks and pay advance withdrawal fees. They used cryptocurrency for payments and provided an Ethereum address and two Bitcoin addresses to receive funds. Transactions showed cash-outs at Square, Coinbase, and HitBTC. The total calculated loss was $18,401.

If you come across a job offer asking for upfront fees, think twice. Scammers often create convincing opportunities to gain your trust. They might promise earnings or payouts but demand payments first. That’s what happened here. The website diffco.us played a central role in misleading the victim.

We worked with the victim to trace transactions and identify the platforms involved. We guided them in reporting the case to the police and district attorney. While the district attorney is investigating, the police department declined to act. Unfortunately, the scammers remain active.

This case shows clear signs of fraud. The request for advance fees and the use of cryptocurrency addresses make it highly suspicious. Always investigate job opportunities and never send money upfront. We encourage you to share this warning to prevent others from falling into the same trap.

We want to warn you about a scam involving the website forexdesktrade.com and someone claiming to be “Professor Tonya Evans.” The scammer used TikTok to reach out, offering investment opportunities with promises of high returns. They first asked for small cryptocurrency investments, claiming it was a low-risk way to start. Then, they introduced fake promotions, asking for more money to access more significant profits.

The scam didn’t stop there. They demanded fees to release the supposed profits, convert Bitcoin to USD, and cover other fabricated costs. These requests happened over multiple transactions, about ten before the scammer asked for a final $1,200 as a “transfer fee.” At that point, it became clear that the entire setup was a fraud.

We investigated this case and traced the transactions to understand how the scam operated. CNC Intelligence helped analyze the data and provided detailed reports.

This case shows how scammers build trust through false account growth and fabricated fees. They use convincing tactics to extract as much money as possible. If you see similar schemes or recognize the name “Professor Tonya Evans,” it’s likely a scam. Stay alert, and don’t send money to sites like forexdesktrade.com. Protect yourself by verifying investment opportunities and refusing to pay upfront fees.

Based on everything we’ve uncovered, there’s no doubt this is a scam. If you’ve encountered this or need help with a similar case, don’t hesitate to contact professionals like CNC Intelligence for support. Remember, the more you know, the safer you are.

We want to warn you about a serious investment scam involving the website wealthmarketvault.com. This scam has caused significant financial losses. One of the phone numbers connected to it is +1 (682) 254-1228. There’s evidence that the site uses fake identities and stolen pictures to lure victims. In this case, the victim lost $30,000 through a wire transfer. Other payment methods, such as Zelle and PayPal, were also involved.

The scammers made big promises to convince the victim to send money. They created a sense of urgency and used deceptive tactics to build trust. Their website looks polished, but everything about it is fake. Even the names they use don’t match real people. This scam targeted someone in New York, but it could happen to anyone. The emotional damage from scams like this is just as real as the financial loss.

When we got involved, we worked on tracing the funds and helping law enforcement build their case. A detective considered subpoenas to track the scammers further, and we provided a detailed crypto report for additional analysis.

Proceed cautiously if you ever hear about Coinfire or see the URL coinfireapp.com. This case revolves around Emily Jones, who contacted the victim through social media. She claimed to be a cryptocurrency expert. Her goal was to lure the victim into opening an account on Coinfire. This platform is linked to fraudulent activity. Emily built trust through video calls and WhatsApp messages. She provided a cryptocurrency address, 0xc30e1aa702BC9671779fcc070cD27738ED8cd56D , for initial transfers. The victim wired $110,000 to Coinfire, believing the platform was legitimate. Fake profits were displayed, but withdrawals were denied unless more funds were sent. When the victim confronted Emily, she disappeared, leaving no trace.

We became involved in this case after the victim sought our help recovering their money. They lost $100,000 and even borrowed $50,000 to fund their account. Our team investigated the case, focusing on cryptocurrency tracing and OSINT analysis.

This scam has all the hallmarks of fraud. It used trust-building tactics, fake account balances, and impossible withdrawal requirements to manipulate its victim. CNC Intelligence completed an OSINT investigation and a wire trace report. The findings provided the client with evidence for further legal or law enforcement actions.

Stay alert if you ever come across Coinfire or someone claiming guaranteed profits. Platforms like this are designed to scam people out of their money. Never trust a stranger’s investment advice without verifying their claims. Let this serve as a warning: scams like this can ruin lives. Always investigate before you invest.

We’re sharing an alarming case about the fraudulent website Wealthfronts.com. The scammers used WhatsApp to lure victims into a fake trading group. They claimed users could profit from “bull stock” trading through their platform. They demanded funds be transferred through Citibank and Fidelity, eventually directing them into cryptocurrency wallets and a DeFi account tied to Wealthfronts.com. When victims tried to withdraw their supposed profits, the scammers demanded hefty fees, including a 5% commission fee of $40,000 and an $18,000 international transfer fee. The crypto wallets used for these transfers are part of the scam’s money trail and a key investigator focus.

The scam started with promises of easy profits and turned into endless requests for money. It even asked for ID documents and facial photos, raising serious concerns about identity theft. In this case, the victim lost $78,000. Investigators calculated a potential loss of $133,939 if the victim had paid all the demanded fees.

CNC Intelligence helped by tracing the funds and preparing a detailed forensic report. This report was sent to law enforcement to help with their investigation. The victim worked with the police. A detective is following up with exchanges like Binance to track where the money went.

This scam highlights the importance of verifying trading platforms before you invest. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, using realistic-looking websites and demanding fees that sound plausible. If a platform asks for more and more money without any real payout, you’re likely dealing with fraud. We urge you to stay cautious and report suspicious activity immediately.

We firmly believe Wealthfronts.com is a scam based on the tactics used and the financial losses suffered. It is critical to expose these schemes so others don’t fall victim. If you’ve encountered similar scams, seek professional help tracing and recovering your funds. Together, we can fight back against these cybercriminals.
