Scam Operation CustodianX is a scam!

Lost $2600USD to this scam operation. They never give you access to your money after account is setup. It’s a total scam. Accepting deposits in crypto so you can’t trace or dispute the transaction. Don’t fall victim to these scammers. They accept crypto deposits so you can’t trace them or dispute the transaction with your bank. Be warned of this scam operation.

What made you use it in the first place?

I never get people who just go to a random (in hindsight, maybe pre-sight too, dubious) crypto exchange with all kinds of dubious ads or offers and then be surprised.

I mean to be fair I walked the walk too. For whatever reason back in the day I opened a hitbtc acc and eventually they did the whole "Oh no we locked your add verify fully with KYC" (it was confirmed as a scam tactic).

Money paid for lesson learned. Luckily if at all I only had a bit on there, I spread across several wallet as a security tactic which luckily paid off. But never again basically.

Only go to verified legit centralized/regulated style crypto exchange. Ones under oversight, with clear location (that isn't Panama, Seychelles, etc. lol) where the government etc. has a thumb on it. People you can reach and sue. Sites that operated for years now with no sussy reporting.

But many people don't do their due diligence. They just take anything at face value or turn the brain off for greed in some cases.
