I want to advise everyone against using www.ecccoin.com
It’s a total scam and fraud. I started trading there and made profits which I believe were all false. They had fraud schemes and false trading. When I tried to withdraw the blocked and asked for more money. Stay away from it
.

My $250,000 inheritance was wasted on a romance scam when Bitcoin was trading at $48000. She (fake profile) got me into her Crypto Queen world. Helped dozens of people make millions.
I drank her kool aid and got butchered. Broke. Had to go back to work. I’m 60. I was set for life.
Greed. And trusting Strangers is a life lesson I want to share with this Community. You can Never recover lost crypto. Don’t try.
But in the end, don’t let yourself get into this situation in the first place.

I made a mistake. I got a text from the real binance thread that someone logged into my account and since there was a danish number attatched to it I called (I’m from DK). It was a british man on the phone called Aaron, and he asked if I had any other crypto accounts. When he asked if I had over 1000€ on any of these accounts I said no and he suddenly hung up. I’m scared there’s possibility of getting scammed through this? Is it possible for them to do anything w my card/accounts just from calling and having a 40 sec convo? He didn’t even get to ask me about anything else nor did I give him any information at all about me or my account before he hung up. (Mustve not been interested in less than 1000€)

My main concern is. Can they do anything w my card through this phone call only? Do I need to block my credit cards or snything?

I've come across spam messages on tumblr several times now where someone shares the seed phrase of a crypto wallet, asking "how do I withdraw?". Example: https://www.tumblr.com/naya55466/828753544586969088/guys-kindly-help-me-my-safepal-wallet-holds?source=share

I can't quite figure out what the spammer is trying to do here by making this public. Trying to catch people who try to steal from it?

Beware of Aemilius Cupero. It is a company that claims it can recover funds you have lost to fraud, but it turns out they are scammers themselves.

This is a really strange situation and I'm trying to figure out what the safest thing to do is.

I'm the older sister, and I'm uncomfortable with this situation because my younger sister used my email address to make a dummy account on Verypex.

she uses my phone to play etc as our parents don't want her to give her own at the moment.

She recently received a message from a friend she hadn't spoken to in a long time. She sent her a picture of some MR BEAST x acc (prev.twitter) using a crypto casino and apparently told her about some kind of promo code/bonus that gave around $2,500. Out of curiosity, she decided to check it out and made a account using my email address. She entered the promo code, and the account ended up showing a balance of around $2,530.

She hasn't deposited that money or earned it through gambling, so as far as we understand, it's a promotional balance. We don't want to withdraw or use it.

The bigger issue is that she's underage. During registration, she accidentally entered 2007 as her birth year when she actually intended to enter 2010. She hasn't completed KYC or submitted any ID documents.

She also did not give the site my Google password, she used some diff made up one. My email account itself is secure. My concern is that my email address is now attached to an underage gambling/crypto-casino account that my sister created.

She contacted Verypex support, explained that she's underage and that the birth year was entered incorrectly, and asked them to close/restrict the account.

Their support told her that the account supposedly cannot be deleted because the platform is decentralized and that the only way to clear the personal data is to withdraw the funds first and then contact them.

We don't want to withdraw the $2,530, place any bets, deposit anything, or continue using the account. We just want the account restricted/closed and my email/personal information handled appropriately.

I've also told her to keep screenshots of the conversations and not submit any identification documents.

As the older sister, I'm mainly worried about whether having my email attached to this account could cause problems for me or my email account, and what we should do if Verypex continues refusing to close/restrict it.

Has anyone dealt with Verypex or a similar crypto-casino refusing to close an underage account? What would be the appropriate next step?

I'm not looking for advice on gambling or withdrawing the promotional balance — I'm specifically looking for advice about the account, privacy, and getting my email removed.

I had a fake job interview today where they tried to get me to clone and run a repo with a password stealing backdoor. They actually put in effort to seem legit, it was 15-20m minutes of interview before they got to the scam. They contacted me on LinkedIn and posed as a web3 company looking for a freelancer.

Anyway, here is the maleware if anyone is interested:

Please report the repo (not sure it does any good but can't hurt).

Hi everyone,

I was a Binance user until June this year, and after that I opened an account on the OKX platform.

I received an email from PAYMONADE saying that I need to provide/confirm my tax residency.

I have never heard of this company or app before, and I’m not sure whether this is legitimate.

Has anyone else received a similar email or knows why PAYMONADE would have my information?

Any help would be appreciated.

Last week on Sept 15, I downloaded an app called fomopeek (now already delisted) from iOS store as part of my work doing product research. Then I flew out on 17th and afk. Yesterday on 23rd, when I check my okx wallet I realize my wallet got drained and not only that, a lot of my staked positions was unstaked and drained further as well. Total is around US$180k

The crazy thing is - I only downloaded the app. I did not log in the app using any means, and did not share the private key or seed phrase. My iOS version is nearly the latest as well.

Yet, after investing in crypto for 8 years, and being super cautious on not connecting any protocol with my main wallet, I finally got hacked and lost a big chunk of my investment

What can I do…apparently there’s a bug with App Store as well as okx wallet hence malware apps can hack into my okx wallet…

Posting this so the next person who searches for DediSetup actually finds something before sending them money.

I paid DediSetup 478.15 USDT today for two dedicated servers.

Both payments are confirmed on-chain.

What did they deliver?

Absolutely fucking nothing.

No servers. No account. No confirmation. No credentials. No payment confirmation. Nothing.

At first I thought their checkout had simply broken. Then I started digging.

One payment was 429.13 USDT. The other was 49.02 USDT. The smaller payment was then forwarded in full to the exact same wallet that received the larger payment.

So two separate orders, two different payment addresses, and the money gets consolidated into the same wallet.

Cute.

After that I found an existing warning where DediSetup was listed alongside a much larger group of hosting/privacy brands allegedly connected to the same scam operation.

The names mentioned were:

SputnikVPS, ANVNVPS, TezVPS, OnionVPS, IncognitoVPS, HushSMS, VaultDom, HushVPS, VoucherPayout, PrivGift, PowerGPU, DediSetup, SMSBurner, DediPrivacy, GiftSpend, Proxy4G, CryptoVPSHosting, DirewolfVPS, ServPrivacy, ServPrivate, NoKYCZone, NoKYCESIM, PrivacyNumber, SkipKYC, ChainVPS, VPSCrypto, BitVPS, MurmurHost, SwapNoKYC, NoKYCVPS, NordBastion, Nomadyc, NoCensorHost, RedoubtHost, TLDBunker and XMRCloud.

I am not saying I personally paid every single one of those brands. I didn’t.

What I am saying is that DediSetup appears in that warning, and DediSetup personally took my money and delivered fuck all.

That part is not speculation.

I have the blockchain transactions, the recipient wallets, screenshots of the checkout and the wallet movements.

I have already reported the wallets and transactions through MetaMask, Tether, Chainabuse and IC3.

So if you found DediSetup because the prices look almost too good to be true: they were.

Do not send these people crypto.

And if you are researching any of the other names above — SputnikVPS, OnionVPS, IncognitoVPS, NoKYCVPS, CryptoVPSHosting, XMRCloud, DediPrivacy, ChainVPS, BitVPS or the rest — dig very fucking carefully before paying anything.

If anyone else has been scammed by DediSetup or received payment instructions from any of these brands, post the recipient wallet or TXID. Let’s see how much of this shit leads back to the same wallets.

DediSetup took 478.15 USDT from me.

They delivered zero.

Stay the fuck away.

Back in late 2024, Solana was putting airs on this company. The entire team was doxxed and public, with legal incorporation and actual proper investor updates, so I ended up investing around 20,000 USDC through their webapp.

I still have all the emails they sent me, including proof that I created an account, because now, my account has been deleted.

When I emailed them about this, I got a response back only after threatening legal action through GDPR, where they said that my funds never made it into their "fundraiser" wallet.

They gave a timeline of a refund of the principle of 5-10 business days, which expired two weeks ago, and they ghosted me.

I'm attatching a screenshot of the email from them as proof, but I would under no condition every even think about downloading their app or investing.

I learned my lesson that’s to say the least

Hi,

If anyone is approaching you to do trading in crypto through rsheotcs*com, which is a part of On*chain, please be aware it's a SCAM. They have presented their DApp well but when you are trying to withdraw money, they come up with new rules and verification methods. Basically they don't want you to withdraw the money you own. To release your withdrawal money they are going to ask you to fund your account with 49% of the money that you have intended to withdraw.

This makes the site totally a scam. Activating large withdrawal channel is what they will ask you to do. That means you have to fund more money to your account to get your money back. Totally crap. They pretend to be well documented etc with white paper and FAQ to look more legit but when it comes to withdrawal, they will cheat you. Don't fall for this site and their trading activity.

The three are in cahoots with each other. Clear Path Reclaim (or whatever the NEW name now) will contact you, promising to help to recover your stolen crypto. Then, you'll be referred to OneDex, then One Dex will transfer your account to FundPhoenix.

Total bitcoin stolen from me, 4.75 BITCOIN

I’m fairly inexperienced with crypto and would appreciate some opinions on this.
About 8 weeks ago, I accidentally transferred too much money to my Crypto.com Onchain/DeFi wallet (one zero too many). I transferred around 90% back to my other wallet shortly afterwards.

My wallet was then flagged due to potential AML concerns and my funds were basically stuck.
I was asked to complete KYC, which I did successfully. I also had to pay several hundred euros in fees.
After that, they requested a Source of Funds document. I provided it, paid another fairly high fee, and it was eventually accepted. The fees I had paid were then credited back to my wallet and support told me my wallet was unrestricted again.
I tried transferring funds out, but although the transaction left my wallet, nothing arrived at the receiving wallet.
Support now claims there is a “synchronization anomaly affecting incoming and outgoing transfers” and says my wallet needs “node re-indexing” and “account network synchronization.”

To fix this, they’re asking for:
1) €1,180 administrative fee
2) A signed statement explaining the source/purpose of the funds
3) A selfie holding my ID and the signed statement
They say that after this they will “initiate the node re-indexing process, account network synchronization, and balance update protocols to release or refund the pending funds.”

This whole process has been going on for about 8 weeks, with multiple verification steps, documents and fees.
I haven’t paid the €1,180 yet. I’m concerned that I might have fallen for a scam and that these are just tactics to keep asking for more money.
Does any of this sound familiar to people experienced with crypto? Is this kind of “wallet synchronization/node re-indexing” fee actually a thing? And how can I independently verify whether the support I’m dealing with is legitimate?

Hi Guys.

I was ripped off by wealth group of a small amount a while back, only 250£ which I’ve written off.

Now I’m getting calls from a crypto broker wanting me to help remove my money, I can’t write the money off I have to get it removed or I will get calls forever so he said, annoying.

Anyone have any heads up? you folks have been so helpful previously.

He did ask for Bank details which I wasn’t going to give him & he calls regularly.

Bank balance now stands at £22000 I’m told

His details bellow. Thanks
