Is there any clear ways to determine if this site is BS? It appears scammy to me.
The easiest way to see if such websites were made to scam their users is by trying to find if other cloned versions already exist or not.


Oh my, Gawd. These Are Great!!!!

OK, OK, Ok. You guys got me. I actually got in this situation because I was in some stupid bumble conversation with this "girl" and the topic at some point turned to crypto. Of course I was like "here we go". but I was intrigued into how "her scam" was gonna work and of  to let Bumble know they had a scammer on their site. So it basically went like this... she showed me how to set up a crypto account with crypto.com and an defi account.... both of what I checked and are legit in as far as being actual well known tools. But then came the part where I needed to transfer the etherium I owned in paypal over to the defi app. And that's where this totally off the wall website eag.cc came in. I don't even know what this is but it she was giving me screenshots and so I went to that page and was like "whoooooooaaaaah nelly".... this is where the "magic" happens. I of course looked it up, even did the ICANN search and all that and there was just like NOTHING about eag.cc. so I was of course like this is some typical romantic scam 101.  At this point, I told her that I was totally fine with moving money into my crypto.com from my paypal, but his eag.cc middleman thing was way too far above my paygrade. Of course the whole thing stunk to high heaven and I did not move shit. But I wanted to get folks thoughts here cuz i don't even know what was the game here other than to get my funds from paypal into whatever this EAG bullshit was of which I have no idea how the whole endgame goes other than me losing money somehow. I had a moment where it was SO classically a scam that I actually doubted myself for a second and cuz I thought maybe I was missing something so I just wanted to check my head here. 'she" wanted to me to send $500 bucks and apparently we were "shorting".

So now I can report her as a scammer to Bumble. Cut off my communication to her in a stealthy way. And report that EAG.cc site to regulators or someone somehow (any help here?).

She had some interesting reasons for why that site was legit. But I just kindly declined. She became "offended" as expected that I didn't trust her.

Thanks for everyone's help. Even though I am a newbie, I wanted to follow the rabbit hole and actually try and get this POS busted.

Too bad, I really thought this gorgeous ukrainian girl that was 10 years younger than me had a stepdad that was in the know like she told me so I could get rich off crypto and run off with the Ukranian Angel. Pooper!

Thanks everyone for ruining my perfect future  Cheesy

I am wondering why newbies will leave the legit sites and go for non reputable ones like the one mentioned by OP.
Exactly my thoughts... I sometimes allow them to their fate cus there's alot going on already -- and as long as you're a member of this forum, there's been several informative threads on supposed scam sites .. maybe he got enticed by their services? Or maybe he's looking for some shitty site that wouldn't ask for KYCs cus he wanna pull a stunt with his account?? Cus what else??
The weird thing is how you found this site if it was from your friend how did your friend get this site? Or are you just taking some ideas from us to improve your site?
Could this be the case? It's obvious that he knows the site ain't legit, so what's the questioning for?... Just asking though
I have a question to all the people who go to these sites, but it will probably remain unanswered: why do you do it? What makes you interested in these shady sites. What are you trying to achieve?
They'll never give a valid response...

Hi,

I have a friend who has been using a site - eag.cc to transfer ethereum to. This looks like a classic scam site. Is there any clear ways to determine if this site is BS? It appears scammy to me.

eag.cc

Thoughts?

Many thanks in advance.
