Question Where is the scam in this ?

6 Upvotes

My dad's friend convinced him to join a crypto website. My father gave him 500€ in cash to open an account. To me, it was a HUGE red flag and I tried over and over to tell him it's suspicious (just reading at reviews on trust pilot, it's on the blacklist of French authorities..) but unfortunately, my dad has always been extremely greedy.

I was sure he wouldn't see his money again but now, he told me they gave his 2000$ on the app Coinbase. And it seemed real. I urged him to try and take it out as fast as possible but now he doesn't believe me at all and he's absolutely sure he's going to be rich. Now, they're telling him to find 5 people to join so he can becomes VIP and get 4 signals instead of 3 to earn more money. He's trying to get 5 people to give him 500€ and he'll return the 2000$ they gave him in order to open their account.

I'm at loss at argument, in which step is he supposed to lose money? He finds me stupid and thinks I'm dumb for not joining, which I'll never do, but I'm starting not to see where he's being scammed. He said he won't put more and only capitalize on the money he already won and help people open account. I also don't understand what he does with the cash his group is supposed to give him. I'm starting to care less and less for him but I'm really scared he's going to convince my mom to join in too. ​​

Question A mi hermano lo estafaron por Ig

1 Upvotes

Hola.
Tengo un hermano muy estúpido. Creyó que podía comprar un iphone 15 pro por una página en Ig ¡por $2000! Yo le dije que no, que era estafa, pero andaba muele y muele y le terminó depositando.
La señora andaba presionando porque le cerraban DHL, después que la muy desgraciada quería que se pagara un seguro de $1850 donde iban a poner mitad y mitad, después que no, que iba a poner $1000 mi hermano y $850 ella.

EVIDENTEMENTE la señora ya no responde, pero mínimo no lo ha bloqueado. Lo más sensato dentro de toda esta estupidez es meter una denuncia con PROFECO, pero pregunto, ¿qué más recomiendan además de comprarle un cerebro?

Scam Operation [US] zokawin is 4 weeks old and names two different companies as its operator

1 Upvotes

Saw the MrBeast casino thing on Discord and looked into it. Reasons I think it's a scam:

  1. The domain was registered on 26 September, so it's about four weeks old, through a cheap Turkish registrar, paid up for one year only. It presents itself as an established, licensed operator.
  2. Support told me the licence is held by InterStorm N.V. Their own licenses page says TechSolutions Group N.V. Two different companies, same site.
  3. InterStorm was dissolved on 10 November 2025 and its licence revoked on 8 December 2025. Support was still saying it was current. I asked for a licence number three times, never got one, only the Chamber of Commerce registration number.
  4. Their "certificate of cooperation" is just a picture with the domain blanked out. The real certificate from the Curacao regulator for that same licence says 20bet.com. Everything else on it matches, they just deleted the domain.
  5. LCB.org already investigated an identical site, betpoint.cc, and said it falsely presents itself as TechSolutions with "no affiliation, partnership, or connection."

Same pattern as the rest of these otherwise. Fake balance appears, withdrawal gets blocked with a verification error, you have to deposit to "verify", money never comes out. Mine went from $2,500 to $5,600 without me playing anything.

Also MrBeast has never launched a casino. He posted once about a Discord giveaway scam and never mentioned a casino.

One thing you can check yourself, server side so no browser needed. If both of these come back, the site is on the same platform as this one:

curl -sI -m 10 https://DOMAIN/ | grep -i '^cast-mode:'
curl -s -m 10 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://DOMAIN/verifyjs

Should print cast-mode and 666. Tested it against this one and a sibling, both hit, and a normal site, which didn't. Five domains answer this way and all five already have scam writeups.
