Title: [SCAM] Tradekucoin.info- Fake Exchange
Post by: Rikafip on March 04, 2020, 09:46:24 AM
What happened: Tradekucoin is a fake exchange, using Kucoin name in order to attract  unsuspected victims, that might confuse it with the real Kucoin exchange.

They claim on the webiste that they are located in London, more specifically at 32-33 Cartwright Gardens, London, UK, WC1H 9EH. But if you check that address and companies there, you will find nothing about "CRYPTO LTD company" that is supposedly behind this.

Another lie-according to their roadmap, exchange is live for years. But if you check when domain was registered, you know that it can't be true.

First time I read Trade UK coin  ;D

Went to the about us page:

CRYPTO LTD company begins its history from the 2th of August, 2016, when it was developed and registered by our founder - Stefano Rossini and his team.

A slight variation of the  Jaxon Strickland scam:

Let me guess, you've got a message from a "Chinese" guy who has 2.2 BTC on that exchange and can't withdraw and if you do that for him you get 10%. But you have to make a deposit first, right?

Classic Jaxon Strickland scam

And I'm going to stop cause the server will run out of space if I list them all


They are all using this number:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10307906
to make them look legit.

But just saying that they are that company doesn't make it real, I can put that name and address on my site at any time also.
Besides, the company has no activity, probably was created for some ICO or god knows what.

Wow! Scammers are really getting good in making fake website. The trading pairs just keep on loading. So what they claim that they are in business since 2017 is just a bluff.

Even if number is real, they can still fake all that info that they gave to Companies House since they don't check whether that info is true or not. All this scam miss is certificate of incorporation. I still don't know why UK government doesn't do anything about it, as it is a common scam tool but many people don't know about that. Some scammers made fake Telegram company, with real Telegram owner name, and press even fell for it, they thought Telegram really  moved to UK. News about it was all over the place.

Yep, I've seen exactly the  same template before and i guess it's working since they keep using it. They invested barely any effort in it, and unfortunately some people will probably give them money. Rinse and repeat.

It's just a quick scam attempt, this site won't be live for long, but that won't discourage or stop them. They will be back with yet another domain and same tactic.
