When you will try withdraw u will got message:
"Verification payment required - Suspicious activity has been detected on your account (deposit and instant withdrawal of funds from a new account). To proceed with the withdrawal operation, you must complete the identification process for your account in accordance with our service terms and AML/KYC policy.
To complete this process, you must make a one exact test payment (190 USDT) . Once verified, the funds will be credited to your account balance and made available for withdrawal."

Before my acc is locked, I tried make some test transaction in ltc:
1. sended 0.49 ltc, sell and withdraw 44 usdt
2. again send 0.9ltc, sell and withdraw 82 usdt
3. send 3.03 solana, sell it, buying BTG with price 17.5 USDT, try withdraw BTG and after that my account was locked.
They will be banned my account after third withdraw.

After that i created new account and send again for test 1.16 ltc and get locked my account immediately.

I also check the time the site was registered, it was on April 18th 2024. The site is so new and it is highly risky to make use of such site.

How did you find out about the site? Who told you about it?

You suppose not to make use of the website at all. There are hundreds of trustworthy exchanges.

I saw a couple of dozen videos on TikTok about this arbitration on this exchange

It's a common scam to trick people to deposit into a site, after which they are not able to withdraw anything. In actual sense, there is no arbitrage opportunity at all, but just a lie.
If you are not sure about a service or an exchange, you can always ask for advice here in the forum before depositing the money so that you reduce the chance of getting scammed. Social media platforms TikTok are one of the last places you would trust with getting "arbitrage opportunities"

TikTok is not a place to look for reputable exchanges because it is full of deceptive marketing; you should check if there are articles about the exchange on reputable Cryptocurrency media companies.

This is a lesson learned and a big warning to everyone to do the right thing when looking for a reliable exchange. There's a lot of temptation in trading on these new exchanges, like no withdrawal fee. Do not be tempted; instead, go to a reputable exchange to avoid getting scammed.

reading this part already tells me that the website is nothing but a scam. it is sad to say that you'll never see the money you sent to that website but I do hope this serves as a lesson to not trust anything just because of videos you saw online.

never believe an exchange just because you saw videos of them on TikTok. TikTok is littered with scam videos and people shilling for scams.

I was captivated by the fact that I was able to withdraw funds 2 times, with a profit of more than 200$, and the 3rd time I'v got a withdraw block Apparently the scammers slept through this moment

Don't fool yourself, they weren't "sleeping", they simply played the long game to give you sense of security and to lure you to deposit more money.

I hope that you learned your lesson and that in the futurre you won't chose your exchange via Tiktok videos and instead stick to the more reputable exchange (they can also scam you, but chances are much lower).

exactly, it is one of their strategies to further put the victim's guard down and make them believe that the platform they are dealing with is legitimate.

@OP you aren't the first one who has posted here that was able to withdraw some money from a scam website. If I remember correctly, the majority(maybe all) of the people who posted here in the forum and experienced the scammer's strategy that was used on you have lost more money.

I am sorry for your loss OP, as you've said that the website was new and recently made. And this is also the reason why people shouldn't believe with everything they see on social medias e.g TikTok. I'm not blaming you but next time, we have to be more careful with what we trust with our funds and you don't just jump into these websites that are being advertised through videos even by a known content creator. Because they can be paid and care for nothing if many of their viewers fall for the scam that they've advertised. And this tactic of these scammers isn't new.

After that i created new account and send again for test 1.16 ltc and get locked my account immediately.

Ouch, you should have seen the signs already and if this really did happened. Please remember the lesson from your experience.

Wow you are really that bold or just an idiot you have been scammed and yet you opened an account to test the platform again, I don't see the logic.
Of course they can trace you as an old account because they have your IP, the machine you're using and your exact location so they will lock you again.

The first withdrawals are just to entice you put more then when you feel comfortable with the platform, and tempted to deposit that's when they will lock your account.
People should not trust TikTok,  the platform is being used as a venue to shill and hype dubious platforms.

That's how curiosity kills the cat. Sometimes people needs to learn in a hard way before they realize how stupid their decision is. Good thing it's not that huge amount that was scammed from OP. The moment you thought that it was a very new site is already a red flag which should be avoided if people choose to use their common sense.

I don't want to put OP in the spotlight, but it's interesting and surprising for one to have an account here since 2017 and yet act like a beginner in picking the right platform to use; greed is a factor in why OP chooses to ignore the best step in picking the right exchange to use.

Anyway, we still have to thank him for exposing the platform as a scam site; this reference will help people decide whether to take risks using this platform.

@scaran
Sorry for your loss, but their ridiculously high annual passive income ^{[up to 420%]} should've been a clear red flag to you!

• FWIW, this isn't the first fake/scam platform with that exact theme and template:

I know that I behaved too stupidly and naively by not checking the platform in advance. The funds that I deposited were not critical for me (because my risk management is to invest money in crypto only those that I don’t mind losing). I recovered the entire amount that I deposited to the scammers in 7 days by trading on other normal platforms with kyc. Even though it was my lost money, now at least when searched on Google, cronosbtc.com other peoples will see this thread.

That's good then if its true. Serve this as a lesson to your next platform you're going to use. You should considered new platforms as suspicious, red flags and should be taken as high risk to avoid much damage or no damage at all.
