Title: Is https://cointop-change.com a fraud / scam?
Post by: @MAstilleroF on October 05, 2019, 11:17:18 AM
Hi, new on the forum.

I’ve been invited to invest in some cryptocurrency in the web indicated in the subject. I think is a fraud. There is not enough information in the web, and its links do not work.

Any experience or comment?

Thanks.

M.

I checked. It was not long before the exchange was launched.
And I didn't get enough information on their website.

Thanks for your cooperation.

From my point of view, the most suspicious thing is that all links at the end of the page are not working (they simply not work, or redirect to the front page; even the mail contact does not work...).

Thanks again.

It's a scam exchange. Web content is even copied from https://www.bitz.top/
Do not accept to invest in their platform. It's so awesome you took time to inquire from the community.

Thanks so much for your information. Yes, there are similarities. One more piece of information to think it's a scam page. M.

Hey Guys,

I just found out that my brother has invested money on this trading platform, I checked it out and it looks like the issue with links being broken seems to have been fixed. Is there any other ways to verify the validity of this trading platform?

Thanks for all the help guys, don't know much about the crypto world, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

V.

cointop-change. com seems to be redirecting to https: //baofeidyz .com/

Definitely a scam.

Be careful guys on this site. If the OP can add proof if there is a valid scam attempt, would be helpful to a lot of people here.

Hey Guys,

sorry my bad, just realized you guys where talking about cointop-change.com, the trading platform i am referring to is https://ctop-global.org.


He purchased something called DCS under USDT. He was told it was still an internal purchase only, you have to be given an invite code to purchase it.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks

V.

Thanks for the info,

So the whole situation is my brother met this girl online, they have been dating for a month,and she convinced him to invest in DCS. She says that her Dads friend uses this currency within his company.  He invested about 5k cad, so i spoke with him and I guess the thing he cares about most is whether the girl herself is in on a scam or a victim herself.

I told him to tell her that he does not have any more cash to invest, this girl said that's ok, she can lend him some money if he needed. On this site you have to buy DCS with bitcoin, so she ended up sending him 5k in bitcoin which shows up on his account after he gave her the bitcoin account address.

He uses shakepay to buy bitcoin and send it over to DCS, so my question is, if he can take that 5k worth of bitcoin sitting in his account on ctop-global.org and transfer it to his shake pay account and convert that to actual cad, then maybe he can get some money back?

What do you guys think?

Thanks again


V.

If he can withdraw his coins from ctop in the first place that is  ::)

Ask him to withdraw his coins now.

Bitcoin address to withdraw to perhaps.

i found the address, just tried the withdraw, message says withdraw request submitted. The bitcoin amount shows 0 now on ctop-global.org. Waiting to see if it appears in shakepay now....

so after i asked for the withdraw, i emailed them asking how long it would take, and got this answer.....


Dear Member
The platform will process the application within 24 hours after the application is withdrawn.
In order to ensure the safety of funds, the withdrawal funds will be transferred to the BTC address of the last recharge.

Ctop Global


Then my brother said his gf got an email saying 5k was returned to her account.

so this proved nothing....

I'm sure "she" "received" it.   ;D
First of all , has he met her in real life ? Or is this all via "facebook"?


Title: Re: Is https://cointop-change.com a fraud / scam?
Post by: Legend777 on December 05, 2019, 04:45:37 PM
Yea, he hasn't met her in real life. They talk everyday and some times video chat. But that is it.

So this whole ordeal proved nothing....

So now they are saying

respected user

After the first successful operation, future withdrawals will be transferred to the address you filled in

CTop Global
 


So based on what they are saying, if i test this again, it should go to the address i specified this time...

Was there any resolution to this with ctop? Any reclaiming of investment?

As if anyone here needed confirmation, cointop, ctop-global, and any other assoicated website is 100% fraudulent.

They do employ the use of young women on dating sites to lure guys into investing. The girls are real, you can video with them, they have real pictures, etc, but they are only luring guys along to transfer BTC.

They claim DCS (Digital Cornerstone) is a "safe haven" that many Hong Kong banks are using to transfer funds. They will claim their uncle or father knows inside information.

They will claim that if you transfer BTC you can have a VIP account and get a large amount of "bonus coins" depending on how much BTC you "invest".

Look carefully at the website. The "DCS" trade page is the ONLY page that has only a method to "Buy" DCS. There is NO method at all to sell: it is a fraud.

In fact, once you transfer BTC from your personal wallet to the wallet at ctop, your BTC is lost. You'll never get it back. Once the transfer is made, their fraud website is just barely good enough to make you belive you have assets.

Also, the price action charts for DCS are inconsistent as hell from 1min to 1month. None of it adds up.

The rest of the site is only very surface deep and is barely passable.

I almost let my greed get the best of me (yes... I'm a greedy butthead looking for a quick buck like the rest of us) but I started asking questions and the story was ridiculous and the "desperation" on her side to get me to "invest" became too obvious and too much of a red-flag.

Today I just logged in to try to check the ridiculous website but my account doesn't exist anymore :) hahaah :) I made them angry I suppose.

Stay away from this site. DCS is a scam. Digital Cornerstone currency or private bank is a scam.
