1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Scammed by a domain name "Buyer"... Sent me Bitcoin through a fake exchange. on: June 23, 2023, 12:36:33 AM
BTC

A while back, I had a nifty business concept for a new rum brand, Kulāsi Rum (https://www.kulasirum.com), up on Flippa. A gent we'll call "Brad" was so smitten, he plunked down 66,000 smackers. But plot twist: Brad insisted on using a particular exchange to pay in Bitcoin.

Once I got the Bitcoin, the "fun" began. Apparently, I can't transfer my now 75k BTC to another wallet unless I verify it by depositing 3k first.


So, my BTC is stuck tighter than a bull in a milking stool at the exchange https://treadsly.com. It turns out, this site has a bunch of ugly step-siblings:

https://bitvizz.com
https://coinvel.com
https://bitmintex.com
https://coinsetter.pro

All these exchanges seem to have been crafted from the same slapdash template, and I'm betting my last nickel there's an exploit to be found. I’ve got 75k in BTC stuck in the wallet that’s swappable within this murky exchange.

It looks like there's a rudimentary API for these sites, but its functionality is questionable at best. There's a section in the profile to generate an API key, and I’m guessing that the underlying API may hold the key to getting the BTC out. I tried swapping to an alternate address but locating the right parameters for the wallet address is like finding a needle in a haystack. If only I had the source code for this website template, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

So folks, anyone up for helping me unstick this situation?

I'd sure appreciate it!
