Title: CryptonFix.com SCAM!!!
Post by: Pffrt on January 29, 2020, 12:24:59 PM

Cryptonfix is a place where you can trade crypto and other digital goods. One of my friends messaged me today in my social media account and asked me if I can buy BTC. He also said that his BTC is on cryptonfix which can only be transferred internally for him because his account is not active. Let me share that he is very much newbie in BTC. He sold one of his domains and got paid by the seller through BTC in cryptonfix. Now, it's asking him to deposit 0.02 BTC to withdraw his BTC which proves it is a blatant scam. The buyer also not responding. Never trust anyone if they ask to use safe digital good trades or crypto in this exchange.

Sounds the same as these recent cases:

 Gecalcrypto (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215988.msg53558641#msg53558641)
 [SCAM Alert] Briefcrypt.com offer 0.8 BTC . Beware......  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200813.0)

The former case also related to someone purchasing a domain and being paid through an alleged exchange.

The whois (http://www.simplywhois.com/whois/cryptonfix.com) indicates that the site is a month old. It’s a clone from another scam site (Padhex). The scammers simply repeat the cycle, porting the website to a different domain name.

The exact same website with a different name: crypto247exchange.com. Other similar cases:
