Scam Type: Divorce Scam (Promise a lot- if you pay a little first)
Basic Nuts and Bolts of the SCAM.
The seller of any product (which is posted on the Internet, on Avito and other sites) receives a message and is invited to the whatsapp or Telegram. There, supposedly a buyer, offers to buy goods, and will be settled with bitcoins. The seller agrees. The buyer suggests creating an electronic wallet for transferring bitcoins to him. The seller registers. The buyer proposes another one to create a wallet – already on this exchange, explaining that the monthly limit has been exhausted, and now it can only transfer from account to account inside the exchange. The seller is registered on this hyptrade.com exchange and the buyer allegedly transfers bitcoins to his account. The seller, of course, is trying to get them out of there. But, at the same time, the “exchange” asks to transfer to its account from an external wallet an amount equal to 0.01 to 0.02 BTC. The seller does not agree, realizing that he was deceived. Further, the buyer demands to return the “money” back, threatening some kind of incomprehensible liability and that he will go to some department (which one is not specified). The seller is trying to transfer him supposedly “money” back, but it is also necessary to deposit real money to activate the account, and the transfer will occur with deduction of the commission. The divorce scheme is old – get a large amount, but at the same time pay a small one first)). This “exchange” was created on 08.08.2019. Be careful and attentive.
One of the Whatsapp details found:
Phone Number used : +89619263538
One of the Telegram Account Found: @asicinvesto
There is also a namecheap account that they use and namecheap, has been informed of there fraudulent actions.
The email that is used is
jbcryptofin@yahoo.com and has also been reported to Yahoo as well.
HYPTRADE.COM Site:
On the site they claim to be a UK registered company with officers in LONDON, the address is available on every page of the site and the company details can be found at the top of the terms of service page.
The address that is used is the Heron Tower at 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AD, UK , after contacting the Heron Tower management this company has never occupied any space or been registered at this address ever. (Just for clarification)
As for the company registration details, they belong to
La Clothing Solutions (Midlands) LLP , a company that was dissolved on the
23 October 2018.
And never re-registered.
To add to this we created a dummy account to have a look around the site and also talk to the LIVE support that was on the site, through a conversation the support stated that they were not UK registered, even though it states they are in there term.
Hmm there support responded by asking, what did I want?? There support aren’t really the sharpest tools in the tool box. Maybe they should actually read there own terms.
At this present time and also a brief search on Bitcoin, Ethereum and BitcoinCash Blockchains these are the amounts we have been able to ascertain they have received:
Bitcoin: over 24 BTC in deposit
Ethereum: over 790 ETH in deposits
BitcoinCash: over 1750 BCH in deposits
These are to various address for the various crypto’s, they are moved through various accounts and so forth to try and hide here track.
So they are pocketing a bit.
Another feature of the site is they have a live community chat, well live as 1 or 2 of the people that are talking on there are actually real (the scammers), it has a chat, were if watched over a period of time , the chats re-peat, only deviating from that when a victim chats there and one of the scammers respond acting a a client that uses the site and always refers them to the support are to chat to support, so they can play out there little scam.
After a little while and as we were acting as a customer that felt like they had been scammed , there support stated and seemed to think that there was nothing that could be done, and that cloudflare had them cover, basically we couldn’t find any details on them like who was there hosting service and that whois hides them from the world— there wrong and really don’t understand internet or protocols and so on.
There Domain was registered at namecheap (which is in itself isnt anything ground breaking), but after chatting with name cheap the account that has the domain linked to it is now under investigation
The email address used to open the account is
jbcryptofin@yahoo.com and and also the Paypal account associated with the namecheap account (the Paypal account is verified) uses the same email as well.
Whois details can be found here
https://www.whois.com/whois/hyptrade.comand these are both registered to a physical address in Essex in Great Britain.
Address is withheld and wont be made public until further investigation.
There hosting company is a USA based hosting company operating as HOSTWINDS – Hostwinds LLC., US
https://www.hostwinds.com/We have spoken to them and they have informed us that they take this extremely serious, as it breaks there terms and also can lead them to be implicated if they don’t act. We are in discussions with them at present.
Basically the pictures that are used for the “TEAM” are generic photos stolen from the internet and they have used the same template and Photo’s and details across all the sites, from our investigations the photos that have been used in the sites “TEAM” make up, these people have no connection with the site or people orchestrating this scam.
We have no details on funds that were received by the scammers on these earlier version of the scam, as we were only engaged to investigate the most recent site hyptrade.com , but are adding the details to show a ongoing scam theme here.
