2  Economy / Scam Accusations / Hyip website offering unusual returns on: February 21, 2024, 04:28:41 PM
I found a Hyip website https://www.standard-wealthinvestment.com/ where they claim investors can earn up to 80 percent daily and there are three  investment packages which is 20%, 40% and 80% returns which seems too good to be true. When you scroll down there is registration certificate which is fake.

The pop up notification that someone withdrew or deposit money is fake.

Upon checking the address in the UK, it is located in rural area but the address is fake and 58 Marlborough does not exist. Also the FCA issued a warning for the company stockfinance because it was providing investment services without their authorization with same address that made me believe wealth investment and stockfinance are same scam company. However the domain for stockfinance is no longer active.

The website is founded by four teams with images that have fake names and are stolen images from other site and they have nothing to do with wealth investment. There is one of the image that has a fake name of  Hugh Gallagher and upon using Google reverse image his real name is Shou Chow the founder of TikTok.

Beware of this scam.
3  Economy / Scam Accusations / kyrptcatalyst.com a crypto scam website on: February 04, 2024, 03:23:17 PM
Last year I was researching about crypto scam and by chance I found website called kyrptcatalyst a crypto website with address in British Columbia but upon searching the address it was located in empty forest and the registration certificate was fake. They offer about 10 percent or more daily return something like that.

I created an account but I did not deposit a cent.

I reported the domain to namecheap and the website disappeared after few days. Namecheap policy don’t allow hyip website Or Crypto investment without permission. After website disappeared I got an email from kyrptcatalyst on January 31st 2024 and that what they said:

They used Gmail email and until now the site is inactive and that seems an excuse email as they made a lot of money and that is Ponzi scheme and no real investment.

I think they took down their domain because I report it to namecheap.
4  Economy / Scam Accusations / Crypto scams and company registration on: February 01, 2024, 04:10:58 PM
I was searching on Google about crypto scam and uk companies house and I read that the uk company house does not verify the address and identity of the person. And that allows scammers to register the company as little as 12 pounds and most of the scammers are operating from abroad. I learned it is different from registration with regulators because in order for company to be regulated and get the license it can be costly. I was victim of scam over a year ago with crypto trading and I thought business  registration was enough for the company to be legitimate.

I believe scammers can easily register and incorporate  a company eg uk companies house because it does not regulate markets and it costs very little so they don’t get caught. Also scammers registers the company to make it look credible and to scam victim. I think government should take action to  verify identity and address when someone want to register a company.

Lesson learned.
5  Economy / Scam Accusations / Have anyone heard about a platform called Adswage? on: November 24, 2023, 03:37:41 PM
I was trying to promote affiliate marketing but I received a notification in Facebook that instead there is a platform called Adswage. It is a website where you will get paid by viewing ads, all you need is to register with them and deposit $100 to activate the account and earn money by viewing ads. There is also a telegram group but I did not join it nor did I register with this platform.

I checked Whois that it was registered in October 17 2022 and expired on October 17, 2032 does that show the platform is legit? I suspect it is scam because the site does not have term of use or privacy policy and no contact number only email address and social media links. Upon checking the address it is in Dublin Ireland but when viewing the address via Google street view it is an address for bicycle shop.

Anyone heard of this platform. I searched in Google but could not find any info.
6  Economy / Scam Accusations / Xqtraders company founder on: September 18, 2023, 12:56:15 AM
I just posted a topic about Xqtraders after being scammed on crypto trading October 2022. According to bbb.org and sunbiz.org the company was founded by Kevin Russ and Nicholas Spurlock. I just want to know if the scammer used a fake name or taking information from that company claiming to be that company? According to sunbiz.org the company was dissolved last September 2022. I believe they registered online from abroad to appear more legit.

 Another question is how come the domain was registered for ten years from December 2020 to December 2030 according to Whois? So the  scammer created that domain to appear more legit? Lunofund and Xqtraders are same crypto scam company created by Nigerians because both website was taken down on October 2022 claiming to have issue with original host but they ran away with the money.Both website were reported by users for illegal activities.

Opinions will be appreciated.
7  Economy / Scam Accusations / Facebook Ads Scam on: August 28, 2023, 06:35:45 PM
Hello,

Why does Facebook allows ads for Elon musk to present opportunity for bitcoin auto trading using Quantum AI?
I noticed in the video that Elon Musk is speaking about the AI platform that it can auto trade with $250 USD minimum deposit and help people become rich in a short amount of time. This fake news  video must have been done by scammers and I always report the ads but it comes back again. I also saw the comments in Facebook that the platform helped them earned money but I believe it is a fake comments made by scammers with fake or hacked Facebook profile.

I just installed an app called text me with a virtual phone number and not my actual number to see how thee scam works and I get calls from different number from different countries so scammer encourage me to sign up and deposit the money but I hang up the phone. The scammers claimed the trading website is regulated in Canada and UK which is not true. This are the website www.bethebank.site which seems to be offline and www.afexeu.com but unregulated and they claimed company not regulated is not a necessarily a scam and they said I can try with $250 dollars and see how it works and if it did not perform well I can withdraw the money anytime but that seems a lie. Also one of the scammers who called me said they want  me to install any desk so they can have access to my pc to set up the account but I never gave them access nor deposited the $250 dollars.

The strange thing that scamadviser give afexeu.com a very good score how can that happen? They write fake good reviews to give the rating high?
8  Economy / Scam Accusations / cryptos-miner.co a confirmed scam on: August 08, 2023, 01:19:36 AM
Hello Everyone,

I found a website called cryptos-miner.co but I was doing a research on Google to see if it is legit or not but could not find much information but I found a review on Trustpilot and it has 4.9 stars out of 5 and the reviews were verified, does it make it legit? However on scam adviser it gives a low trust score one out of hundred and there are negative reviews where people are complaining they cannot withdraw money and the company asked them to pay more fees to process the withdrawal. Negative reviews might be done by scammers because they claimed they recovered the money through recovery agent.

I deposited about $100 USD and the profit appears $4000  after few days, I chatted with support teams and they said it is block mining rewards. I don’t know if it is true or not and they told me in order to process the withdrawal I need to pay $500 dollars and assured that I won’t pay more money. They claimed they generate profit through mining machine and I noticed they have telegram group where investors have successful email withdrawals of thousands of dollars and I don’t know if the screenshot email is real or fake, the email was from admin@cryptos-miner.com. I noticed something suspicious on the site and claimed they started the company in 2018 but according to Whois it was registered on July 2022 and the UK address is fake. They claimed the money is invested in different projects.

The company registration was dissolved in July 2022.

Any thoughts or opinions?
9  Economy / Scam Accusations / XQtraders turned out to be scam on: January 08, 2023, 05:15:28 AM
Hello everyone,

After been scammed on qxtraders.com I signed with XQtraders on late January 2022 and I thought it was legit because it was registered with Florida department of state and I made profit, so I was able to withdraw money. I always email customer support and they reply instantly and fix any issues. The website look professional which guarantee 0.8 daily return for a year. I thought it was low risk because compared to scam website they guarantee 1000 percent return or more within 24 hours or less. I believe XQtraders was operating a Ponzi scheme so no real investment is made. I reported the website to anti fraud Canada, FBI, and FTC. The website went offline since October 3rd 2022 and I called Xqtraders and no one pick the phone. I chat with them on WhatsApp and they said original platform had issues so they started new site. Lunofund platform for Nigerians was also shut down in October 2022 after issues with original host and then it disappeared. I believe both platform were made by Nigerian scammers. On telegram group users were able to withdraw up to $10000 USD in 2021 and users were able to make multiple withdrawals. I also saw screenshot email of successful withdrawal. I  think they were scammers to encourage people to sign up. I also made a video on YouTube why Xqtraders is a suspected scam. No mention of loss. The website use to have same wallet address where I send my bitcoin. But this time Xqtraders suggested to email them so they give me different wallet address before I sent them bitcoin. I think because there were reported to authorities. They create new wallet address to escape criminal prosecution.

According to Florida department the company name was under Nicholas Spurlock and Kevin Russ and I don’t know if they are real or actors and the phone number appeared Florida number but operating abroad.
So does it make a difference if crypto platform guarantee 1000 percent a day or 1 percent a day?

People claim XQtraders is legit because they were paying and not yet scammed or fake reviews by the company.

Is registration enough or only for tax purpose?

I think qxtraders.com and xqtraders are same scammers.

Anyone scammed by this company? Feel free to comment.
