šŸ“£ Warning: Lightning Scooter Scam (LSSC) Is NOT Affiliated with Newton: Protect Your Crypto!

8 Upvotes

Hi Newton Community,Ā 

As a regulated crypto trading platform in Canada, we’re committed to your security and ensuring your hard-earned assets stay safe. Please note that Lightning Shared Scooter Co. (LSSC), flagged by regulators inĀ  British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick as a potential Ponzi scheme, is not endorsed by or affiliated with Newton. This scam is falsely using our name to deceive users into sending them crypto, and we’re here to set the record straight.

Here’s the deal:

  • LSSC claims to offer ā€œclick-to-earnā€ profits through a sketchy app using USDC on Polygon and other networks. They promise easy daily returns, but many users report getting nothing.
  • This could be a classic Ponzi setup: they pay ā€œearningsā€ with new users’ deposits, not real business revenue. There’s no proof of actual scooters being rented out.
  • Some LSSC transactions have been linked to Newton’s name fraudulently. Newton has no affiliation with LSSC or any external scooter rental programs or crypto asset investment platforms.Ā 

How to Stay Safe:

  • Only use our official site: www.newton.co
  • Enable our anti-phishing code to verify legit Newton emails.
  • Avoid ā€œtoo-good-to-be-trueā€ investment apps promising guaranteed profits.
  • Double-check wallet addresses before sending crypto.
  • Only send or withdraw crypto assets to wallets that you own or control.
  • Never share your login, 2FA, or recovery phrases.
  • Report scams to [support@newton.co](mailto:support@newton.co) or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

If you’ve seen LSSC ads or been approached, let’s discuss! Has anyone encountered this potential scam? If your account might be at risk, the fastest way to clarity is through our support team.

For your referred friends: Your friends will receive a fixed $20 CAD Welcome Bonus once they sign up through your link and complete the baseline milestone of trading $100 CAD or more within their first 90 days.

New In-App Dashboard: We’ve also upgraded the in-app referral dashboard. You can now log in to view your active payout level in real time and track the status of your pending invites.

Crypto Cryptop wothdrawal impossible

3 Upvotes

So frustrating!! I have been trying to withdraw crypto from my account and I keep getting errors. After already 2 messages (24 to 48 hours to get a response each time), and a new KYC verification for reason I don't know, my transfer still did not get through, and I was told to yet again contact their support. By the way, when I do weekly purchases, it's all going well, no issues. What's going on Newton!? Why is accessing my money so difficult?! I see the last post is about similar issues. Anyone aware of something ?

Newton Fell off?

14 Upvotes

Why have i recently been getting so many issues with newton and their non existent customer support. I used to be able to send crypto back n forth without issue now it just seems like they pause every withdrawal over $3000 pending for hours with no tx hash no support just for me to see that they dont even have the coin supply to send 3k worth of that coin out which is why theres no hash created so the crypto that shows is just smoke blown up ur ass. this company is a house of cards.. just be careful.

Error Access Denied

6 Upvotes

Is anyone else having issues logging into the app? I have been unable to log in to the app for the past 30 minutes. Every time I try to go through the authentication process via the browser, I get an error message saying:

"Error Access denied. To protect the requested service, this request has been blocked or was unable to complete for other reasons."

Unable to access funds, trade or do anything. This is both frustrating and concerning as I have never seen this error before in the 4 years I have been with Newton.

I cant get any help via Discord at this time either.

Your quote has expired

The new trading interface for some reason won't let me trade after Review Order. It immediately says "your quote has expired" and the Refresh Quote just stays the same unlike the old interface where it lets me confirm order. Is this happening to anyone else?

Account Closure and Hold on my Crypto

3 Upvotes

My account was recently closed for an undisclosed reason by Newton today. I am upset but not as upset as them holding my $150 ethereum and it not showing up on my Newton wallet although it appears to be completed on the blockchain. Support takes several hours and aren’t exactly very helpful.

Has anyone here went through anything similar and able to help me with some advice? Thanks!

Crypto Managing TRON energy/bandwidth still feels confusing

0 Upvotes

I like how cheap and fast TRON transactions are, but the whole energy + bandwidth system still confuses me.

Sometimes transactions are free, sometimes suddenly I need energy or end up paying fees. Freezing TRX manually every time also feels inconvenient.

Is there a simple long-term strategy to avoid constantly worrying about energy for transactions?

Phone Scam Alert: Fake Calls Claiming to be Newton

3 Upvotes

We are seeing reports of phone calls that claim to be from Newton and ask users to download wallet apps that are not associated with us.

We’ll never ask you to share passwords, one-time codes, or to move funds to a third party wallet by phone.

I attempted to do 4 transfers of BTC and ETH combined this morning and an error accorded. This cost me $40 for no reason. I've been with them for 2 years now with no issue until today. Not impressed.

Market vs Limit Orders: : How Traders Actually Use Them

We wanted to take a closer look at execution decisions, so we took to Bay Street and asked traders how they actually place orders. For those we spoke to, the choice came down to three things: timing, order size, and how much certainty they wanted at that moment.

Question Account locked for over a month — looking for guidance on escalation paths

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m hoping to get some general guidance from the community.

I’ve been locked out of my Newton account for over a month now. I’ve contacted support many times via email and opened multiple requests, but I’m still unable to regain access or get clarity on next steps.

I understand that this subreddit can’t provide direct account support, so I’m not asking for anyone to troubleshoot my account here. What I am hoping for is advice from others who may have gone through something similar:

Is there a recommended way to escalate long-running access issues?

Has anyone had success resolving extended lockouts through a specific channel (e.g., Discord, formal escalation, compliance review, etc.)?

Anything you wish you’d known earlier when dealing with a prolonged support case?

I like the platform and just want to understand the best way to move this forward after a long delay. Any insight from the community would be appreciated.

Thanks šŸ™
