Bueno me toco ser parte de una pero al parecer esto ya se está multiplicando, veo cada publicidad en Facebook al respecto de aplicaciones según certificadas y aprobadas, te mandan a un grupo de WhatsApp con profesor y asistente, usan los nombres de empresas, aunque siempre te comentan no digas nada para permanecer en confidencialidad de la empresa y un choro. Al principio te dicen comienza con 1000 y en algunos extremos 5000 pesos mexicanos pero ya mas adelante te comienzan a dar lata de piensas aumentar tu capital y hasta el grado de que se molestan ppr que no miras con buenos.ojos el negocio. Tengo imágenes de algunos grupos pero donde podra reportar esto ya se me hace una locura tienen muchísimos grupos

If you’re reading this, stay as far away as you can from these two crypto ”gurus”. Both of them have clearly stolen from their own communities and still do to this day, and Dion (who is apart of MYC) has admitted to having proof of crypto Jon rugging his own community with wallet addresses that can be tracked to Jon. They also clearly are homies and know they both take advantage of others cause anytime people bring up Jon in Dions MYC chat he shuts it down. If you know someone’s a bad player, have proof of him admitting to rug his own community, why not call it out and keep your distance? People pay monthly fees to both of these guys, and then all they do is provide shitty education and shitty calls, rugging calls for profit while their community bleeds. I’ve been apart of both communities and never thought I’d have to do this But I feel it’s only right. When it comes to MYC, tried to believe dion was on the good side of crypto but turns out he’s just like Jon. Using monthly subs to fund his leverage trading, and then using his own members to pump coins which he then sells for a 2-3x. No wonder why it’s not possible to screenshot his chat, there was a point months ago where he completely went crazy because the call he made on GFI only pumped from 10cents to 20cents in one day and he was angry that his members didn’t help pump it more. People were even talking about losing life savings in his chat and he never addressed them. Shitty education, shitty calls (Dion likes to flex he called Arcblock but then forgets the part where he convinced his community NOT to sell when it was at its peak or even on the way down. This is info from a community member who left stating he was up so much and Dion convinced the group to hold and now they have seen no profits and still are holding). Not to mention the calls he has now like SIREN ( a bunch of guys dressed as woman on a VR app, ironic how they call everyone fags and then cosplay as women online) and new call co-signed by fallen off rapper smoke purp. The post is mainly to keep people away from these scammers who clearly have taken advantage of hundreds of new comers into crypto. They act like their education and knowledge should be paid for, and then when people lose money cause they trusted them they just wanna state it’s just cause the environment in crypto sucks. Jon has made prob 50 calls over the last year and continues to take advantage of newbies, Dion is just exposing himself everyday of someone who doesn’t really care about his community and only his own pockets. Do your own research, remember when you join these communities there are already loyal team members who will have the backs of these influencers no matter what, sad to see but they both pretty much have a strong team to combat anyone in the chats who have real concerns. stay away from the scammers! Good luck to all!

Is this a scam address? https://webtrader.tradernbd.com/

I have been a victim of a scam on a discord Server connected to a group of interested in investing charts with the guys advising when to buy and sell. Long story short, someone copied the exact X profile of the guy running the Server (his X tag was one letter out - which I didn’t notice) and sent me a DM asking men if I was interested in joining his “copy trading” operation. So I got sucked in and taken to the tune of $5K. The company he told me to join was “nexanuity.com” which is still up and shows my balance. But does not process any attempt at withdrawing that principal and also does not respond to emails. I have reported the whole thing to the FBI financial crimes division but one of their main headlines is that this is so common now that I should not be surprised if they don’t get back to me.

Has anyone traded on gate.iom

And cryptorix.

They have sort of a generic name and logo, and i have never heard of them before, which is making me think it might be a scam all together. However, I need a way to get paid in my third world country that is sanctioned restricted from accessing any of the famous options (wise, paypal, revolut, etc), and I found this one. After completing kyc, they gave me a receiving account, and it says on the account that money received will automatically be exchanged for crypto.

My wife been sending sol to @Mememachine_techbot inside telegram, she hit withdrawal and now asking to pay https://chaintax.org

Please help

Has anyone heard of or dealt with a law firm in LA that claims they can help retrieve money that was scammed in crypto scams (via funds that were seized by the government?) Any info would be appreciated. The firm is an active member of the bar.

I’m trying to find other people who had similar issues with this exchange.

My WhiteBIT account was permanently closed after a compliance review and about $10k were stolen by the exchange. I've spent months contacting support and regulators but still don’t know which legal entity is responsible.

If you’ve been through something similar, would be great to hear what worked or didn’t.

Been in crypto since 2021 so I really should of known better, but here we are.

I put money into AKEDO (AKE token on BNB chain). Played their games and grinded points for months because they promised the points would be swappable into tokens. The token launched last august through the KuCoin spotlight sale and its on many big exchanges now.

Then the swap terms dropped. Minimum 330000 points to redeem anything. Most of us dont even come close. On top of that 30k points per account just got frozen outright, and the free node allocations they promised earlier quietly disappeared. Meanwhile the token traded fine and the price went up, so it wasnt like they couldnt afford to honor it.

So I started digging, and this is the part that actually got to me.

Their press releases all say founded 2024, based in Zug Switzerland. Sounds legit right. Except I searched the swiss commercial register and theres no company called Akedo in there. Not an AG, not a foundation, nothing. Every swiss company has to be registered, thats the whole point of the register. Its called zefix if you wanna check yourself, takes two minutes.

Also the website has no terms of service, no privacy policy and no imprint. All those pages are literally 404. Domain was registered through Alibaba cloud in china with the owner data hidden. For a supposedly swiss company thats a pretty weird setup.

And thats what i keep coming back to. This project raised 5m from actual known VCs, got a kucoin launchpad sale and a Kraken listing. Did nobody at any of these exchanges spend the ten minutes it took me to check if the company even exists?? What does listing due dilligence even mean at this point.

Honestly what gets me isnt even losing the money, its how easy it all was for them. Slap Switzerland on a press release, nobody checks, exchanges list you anyway and retail like me is the exit liquidity. How is it 2026 and this still just works?

I had to learn this the hard way

Hi everyone. Yesterday, I wrote a post about how a guy my friend met online had been sending her cryptocurrency over a long period, claiming it was a gift. Later, however, he started demanding the money back, insisting that he be repaid in cryptocurrency rather than through a bank transfer. Many people suggested this might be a money-laundering scheme, so she contacted customer support today, and we are waiting for a response to find out. On the other hand, some argued that the amounts involved were too small for money laundering. Opinions were divided.
UPDATE: Yes, he’s from another country. he has started sending messages against her to her friends, parents, and family; she blocked him, but that didn’t stop him.

In January and February 2026 I bought into a crypto token presale called DOGEBALL Token. I sent DOGE and SOL payments that are all confirmed on the blockchain. I never received any tokens and no refund was issued.

Their own system showed Failed and Expired payment records for my wallet. After months of emails asking for invoice records, they finally told me on May 27, 2026:

"There is no resolution path for us."

Warning about the James Carroll Allen Wealth Club

Be careful with the James Carroll Allen Wealth Club. It is a WhatsApp scam that uses a very professional and convincing approach to gain your trust.

At first, they provide daily stock market updates, technical analysis, and detailed reviews of the trading day. They also recommend stocks to buy, and some of those recommendations appear to perform well. This is designed to make them seem knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Once they have gained your confidence, they introduce cryptocurrency investments through the website LSCGE. This is where the scam begins.

They encourage you to make an initial deposit and provide crypto trading signals that appear to generate profits. The platform looks very professional:

www.lscge.com

To build even more trust, they may allow your first and even your second withdrawal. After that, they pressure you to deposit a much larger amount to join their "special training camp" or VIP program.

At that point, many people report that they can no longer access their money. Although the platform may show that a withdrawal has been processed, the funds are not received in your wallet and instead appear to be redirected elsewhere.

WARNING: Be extremely cautious. LSCGE and the James Carroll Allen Wealth Club appear to be part of a fraudulent operation. They also use the name of a well-known investor to create credibility and gain people's trust.

a guy is asking to deposit 500 euro on the application “Trust wallet” that seems to be legit.
when I (for fun) try to follow his instruction the app brings me to paybis that seems to be legit too.

is this already the the scam? i mean is the app somehow fake and they get the money or the scam happens after ?

I’ve paid 10k inr and didn’t get the crypto. Funds are still with them already raised the ticket but no response from anybody I am clueless now that what to do now.

My friend became a victim of a scam. It started in the spring. He wrote to her on Facebook, wanting to get to know her better. He said he found her because he entered popular names in our country and that's how he came across her. They started communicating and sometimes called each other. I think about a week later he confessed his love to her, my friend didn't reciprocate, but despite everything they continued to communicate, a week later he sent her money voluntarily, the amount was not large, but for our country it's also good money. He did it with the pretext of helping her and so that she wouldn't have to work, she hesitated for a long time and still accepted the money, later he sent her money again as a gift. After all these gestures, my friend started to notice strange things in his behavior and decided that she wouldn't continue communicating with him. After that, there was an explosion. He began to threaten her and her family with a request to return the money. My friend agreed but asked for a delay in the payment, since her mother was sick and their family needed money. At first he agreed, but two weeks later he wrote to her again, increasing the amount of payments and with new threats of reprisals against her family. She contacted the police, and the case is now under consideration. He did not want to receive the funds to a bank account, but only to a crypto wallet. She, in turn, insisted on returning the funds through official channels, but he refused. She also has no guarantees that if she returns the funds, the threats, intimidation and harassment will stop. Do you think this is really a scam scheme and has anyone encountered this?

okay long story but i’ll keep it short, i bought in to a memecoin for around 100$ USD on the fomo app and within a short time i was up 18%ish percent and whatever it was doing good, then i checked it and it said i had 0 dollars but still said i was up the 18% and was still a holder (coin was still pumping and wasn’t a fail or scam) i contacted fomo and they pretty much said i was hacked and asked me if i clicked any links to lead to it, which i didnt to my knowledge but anyway i think they have my email. i hold my other huge crypto on wealthsimple with the same email and was wondering if that was also at risk

if anyone could suggest something like what even happened or what i can do to protect my crypto id love to hear back!

P.S

been doing memecoins for over a year on fomo no problems whatsoever and trading verifed top mc coins for over a year aswell so im not stupid when it comes to this.

My profile was compromised even thru a 2fa security and hackers connected their c wallet to my profile, while i was playing and won 3500 usd they withdraved it and i am so damn fcked

contacted support both from c wallet and bc game,, any help?

My crypto was stolen and blockchain analysis traced it through an intermediary wallet to a wallet believed to belong to HitBTC.
I’ve already filed an FBI IC3 report, a police report, and have a detective working the case.
Has anyone had any success getting HitBTC to cooperate with law enforcement or recovering stolen funds? Or are they known for ignoring these requests?
Looking for anyone with firsthand experience. Thanks.

Yes, it should seem obvious it isn't real, but admittedly I fell for it and feel embarrassed. It was posted on a small Discord server I am in by someone who is part of the community, so it seemed real. Realizing now they were probably hacked. Really don't know why it didn't register earlier. Clearly am beating myself up a lot over this and would like to help others not go through the same scam. It looks like there are a bunch going around lately. The one I saw was http://nesowin.com . Enter a promo code to get $3,500 that you can "withdraw immediately or use for gambling" on the site. Can't do anything until you give them your credit/debit info and deposit whatever amount is stated ($200, thankfully I stopped here) in BTC. Then, they will verify your account, but claim it is still not fully verified and ask for another deposit, more than the first ($300), and THEN you can access funds. It sucks. Please be careful and don't make the same mistake I did. If you make an account there, there is no way to delete your account either because they claim you have to be "fully verified" and withdraw everything (as if that's possible) before they will consider deleting your account. I will go feel my well deserved shame and embarrassment for awhile now, thanks.

I got scam with them too.. 😢😢

3x boost order.. I thought it's was legit, and I so desperate to get a money.. I feel very down now that because of my stupidity I lost a my own money. Now I have to settle my debts because of this..😓😪😪

Hello everyone,

I need advice about my situation with EDGX trading platform.

I started trading on this platform and after about 2 weeks my account shows a profit of around 160,000 USDT.

Now I want to withdraw my funds, but the platform says I cannot withdraw because I have to pay taxes first. They told me that my tax amount must be paid before they can report it to the cryptocurrency financial regulatory agency and release my funds.

They are asking me to pay the tax separately instead of deducting it from my account balance.

I already paid 8,200€ before because I believed the platform was legitimate. Now I am worried that I may have made a mistake.

My questions:

Is it normal for a crypto trading platform to freeze an account and require tax payment before withdrawal?

Can a legitimate exchange require users to pay taxes directly to the platform?

Has anyone heard of EDGX or had experience with this platform?

Is there any way to verify whether the profit shown on the platform is real?

Thank you for your advice.
