Title: [SCAM ALERT] BLATENBIT.COM - Scam Exchange
Post by: albon on March 10, 2023, 09:32:55 PM
What happened: This is a scam exchange platform that has spread recently. The team of this platform sends the victims promo codes to activate them to receive cryptocurrencies. Still, they cannot withdraw before they deposit funds in the scam platform and after verifying their accounts and passing the KYC.

Additional Notes: This topic is just a warning for newbies. I know this trick is old, but we had to warn people about the new domains of the scam exchanges so that this topic might be a lifeline for them, and we, the forum members, could report the domain until it is suspended. The scammers never stop, and neither will we  ;)

I check Google for possible reviews and there are articles that shill or give false information about this exchange but I'm 100% sure these are paid writers or part of their promotion team to make the site legit when you do research, it's an old trick but reporting it here and getting this report indexed by Google will save users from using this scam exchange.

It's a very old scam strategy that may worked long ago but I doubt these days it works anymore. People know they are fake. A legit business is not going to ask to deposit money to withdraw whatever money you earned free on a site.

Telegram is a safe heaven for these type of scammers. These kind of websites are not going to rank in search engine. Possibility is Google advertising but I wonder does it pay the investment? As long as they are using free methods, they have nothing to lose but time that is investing to pull such scams.
