I lost my connection and their promoter was quick to delete their post so I failed to achieve it

Site : https://seeltrade.com

they offer $18.00 bonus to their new users you can use it and of course they will make sure you will win but you need to deposit 0.6 Eth
 before you can allow you to withdraw your winnings


I research the site and they are only 7 days old but the support claim they are running 6 months already



Their script is very much similar to the ones reported on another scam report

If you come across any site that will ask you to deposit before making an withdrawal then be 100% sure that it's a scam site. I do not think any legit site will ask about such deposit.

So, don't play with them also don't deposit.

Good luck.

I read the whole thread and some of the thread with a similar offer, they are either deleted or just comes out with a new name and new features, it's either they ask you to download something or deposit first before making a withdrawal wow they are getting good now.

First thing I did was to do a research after I won I ask people to confirm if this is paying, go here in this scam section and check if there is a scam report just lucky that the scam thread is always on an update, if there is no update adding seeltrade in one thread I will need to ask more people, but you are right if the ask deposit, before withdraw it's a scam.

The site is the exact copy of https://cex.io so is a phishing site as well. There have been many reports since last year with such type of events.

It was also reported by Locotoni here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5106397.msg50293386#msg50293386

I'm not sure why cex.io is so popular among scammers who take their script and make a site out of it, but I'd certainly be cautious of any sites that look somewhat like it's been directly ripped off of Cex.io based on the current trends that we're seeing. This site is no exception of that rule.

Another thing about these sites is that they seem to be constantly changing their URL. It's likely that a lot of the URLs are owned by the same scammer, and they do this to avoid detection. Once they get a victim, what they seem to do is change to a new domain name, and redirect old domains to the new one, or simply shutting down the old site.

Exchanges offering bonuses is always a red flag, because it's so obvious it won't be profitable for them, yet they are still doing it. Of course, if they ask you to send your own funds, then it's pretty much a confirmation that it's a scam.

It will not end on this since this is a script and they are effective to attract newbies it will still go on with a different name and domain, if it's too good to be true then something is wrong on it, I don't trust a site that locks your earnings and asks you to deposit first before they unlock it.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Please be careful with this and similar fake sites. We kindly ask you not to share any of your personal data and encourage you to be very cautious with sending the funds to sources you are not confident about.
Also, be kindly notified that CEX.IO is in no way related to 'Seeltrade'.

We are already being taken the necessary actions to report it.

This one is also copying your site and is made live in similar way : 24birdtrade. com (Reported here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125437.msg50347305#msg50347305). I don't know how to take necessary steps to report them. Will look better if you guys do it.

Do you happen to know why so many scam sites happen to use your exact script (just modified)?

Because as I mentioned before, I've probably seen at least 10-20 similar sites with all the same layout. I understand that you guys aren't affiliated with them obviously, but is there anything that would explain why these sites would prefer to use your front end code over others?

Also, I doubt that reporting itself would do much. This isn't the only iteration of the scam, and it seems like that a feature of this type of site is constantly evolving domain names, which makes it hard to report them to any central host.

Dear Magneto,

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your thoughts with us.

As you have mentioned, the script copied from our site is really modified each time and the newly created scam website is just a modification of the previous one with the new domain.

Although each time it is more difficult to report fraud sites to the host, we are trying our best to take necessary actions against detected CEX.IO lookalike sites and appreciate our users for informing us about such resources.

Once again, we kindly ask you to be attentive and to refrain from using untrusted websites, particularly if they request you to share your personal information or engage in sending funds. Additionally, please do not hesitate to notify us in case you discover pages that are using CEX.IO interface.

Thank you for understanding and cooperation.
