Beware of Bruno Carvalho and tradexpats.com!

[vassirng]

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anybody will read this but if I can help one person not get scammed, I've done well

Beware of this person - https://www.facebook.com/Bruno0Carvalho1 (he changed the link to his profile)
He says his name is Bruno Carvalho, his Facebook profile states he trades for other people. I was very curious so I messaged him and he explained that he places trades and you can "copy trade" his trades. He would get 20% of the net profit, no monthly fees. It all sounded pretty good.

Anyway, when something seems too good to be true, you MUST get suspicious. For the fun I decided to go all the way. So he had me download Trust Wallet and deposit $300 worth of BTC. I did it.

Then he sent me to this website https://tradexpats.com/ where I was supposed to transfer my crypto to. This is where I was like Ok this website has no contact info, no nothing.

He said it's a trusted website and he's been using it for about 5 years.

I checked the domain's WHOIS and it's only been registered for less than 2 months.

I called him out. He blocked me  

Here is a screenshot of our conversation for whoever is curious - https://ibb.co/PQPt541 . Enjoy reading

PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T GET SCAMMED.

You have done well, on the internet, and in money matters, at the slightest reasonable doubt, you have to run away.

Apart from that, copy trading has become fashionable and I would say that the trading houses themselves promote it because of the commissions they get.

I would not invest even in a legitimate copy trading because traders who have profits regularly and long term are very few in percentage and even if a trader shows you results of a few years, even if you believe what he shows you is legit, you can not be sure how much is due to positive variance.

I wish more people would do it like this, being cautious and doing their own research first before making any decision especially if it involves money. in this time and day where information is easily accessible people should learn how to use it to their advantage and avoid getting scammed.

I think they have a parent website called iqmining which has been proven to be a fraud cloud mining service for years. At least I found 3 other websites with almost similar content and of course with similar slogans.

None is part of the same family, but domains hosted on this ip: https://host.io/ip/153.92.220.150

I'm seeing very rare these investments sites hosted on hostinger; most of them are using namecheap. But because of their btc address here is the family of the scammer's websites:

https://dnslytics.com/ip/198.23.59.235

If you do reverse ip you will find 49 domains (all financial scams) and they are using sage host.
