[Warning] Unnamed.exchange - do we have another exit scam?

[JollyGood]

I have to say it was inevitable, the exchange had to close down but only after a scam. I am surprised scammer TillKoeln kept the website active for that number of years. I thought he would have exit-scammed after the fake Dogecoin hack drama but he kept the website running.

How many days has it been the unnamed.exchange website has been down? What is scammer TillKoeln up to now?

Does anyone know when the Exchange was switched off? I still had Elite Coins there, they are not worth much but I am interested in the principle. There was no advance notice that the exchange would be shut down and you had to withdraw your coins/tokens, or did I miss it?

As far as I understood, at the beginning of April, they announced the shutdown of the official Discord channel, which was the only way to contact them. Informed in this post
At the end of June, the site went offline. Somehow, the deadline for domain registration/renewal is also in that period. Posted in this post It is very possible that with the expiration of the hosting lease, Tillkoeln just did not renew and shut down its website. Although I am convinced that he ran the whole business from his basement, and his exchanges were hosted on a personal computer.

Don't be too sad about this exchange, certainly even when it was online, many people complained that it was not possible to withdraw their tokens. So, in fact, there is no big difference, except that now no one can try or have false hope.

I don't know what the value of what you are robbed by this swindler Tillkoeln, maybe all the victims should think about reporting and suing. He is from Germany, so there is a high chance that he will be prosecuted for fraud. I saw that some members here have his personal information, maybe that's a good start.

The value of the 1337 coins was so low that it is not worth the effort, but thanks for the detailed answer. I also think, since he hosted it so unprofessionally from his basement. Some of the payouts may even have been done manually, as I said, good that such an exchange disappears from the scene.

If all the value of all those coins and tokens he was hosting (on his scam unnamed.exchange website) were to be added up, it would probably come to a small fortune otherwise scammer TillKoeln would not have taken steps to exit-scam. In any other scenario a genuine business operator would either close down after returning funds to rightful owners or seek investment to keep the business functioning or sell a failing business.

When it is specifically about crypto it is these types of people that give the whole community a bad name. When scammer TillKoeln announced his exchange was allegedly hacked, this is what I posted back in February 2022:

Partially paying a small number of victims is usually a trait employed by scammers to put off any legal action because they claim they are trying to return funds to victims after alleged hacks.

What is it unnamed.exchange has plastered on the home page of the website: The world's most advanced crypto trading platform

Who in their right mind would believe such nonsense?

Honestly, I largely blame the projects themselves and the small communities that accepted the listing on this exchange or similar ones. Somehow they desperately wanted to be tradeable coins, so they just closed their eyes to all the suspicions of poor exchanges.

Oh, a long time ago I had a 1337 wallet and some coins there. He wasn't exactly worthless. I left it when it was rebranded to Elite (or something like that). It's always sad when I hear that some old coin with solid potential is losing the interest and support had from the community.

Btw, this was Unnamed's hot wallet for Banano (BAN): https://creeper.banano.cc/account/ban_16bfuppfebtmgh1t8ktpk4eq4dyz5m1ztxesznagd916jzk8b87qity3habz

Maybe it's a good thing to track all their wallets and expose what you can.

Regarding DOGE, I tracked down my last withdraw and found that this was their last DOGE address, from 2023-06-21: https://dogechain.info/address/DLr1MSAyXnVy57uzhFoRpdzaRS44RABZKP
But during June they had many unusual withdraw amounts, meaning IT WAS PLANNED:
8,430 DOGE on 2023-06-20: https://dogechain.info/address/D6gTTeNxB8QDX6n2a7PMY3wCLv4KgtheSv
8,374 DOGE on 2023-06-20: https://dogechain.info/address/DKHVKjrFC9KzkiWWVkp7aFFyjd4azyNy9g
35,920 DOGE on 2023-06-19: https://dogechain.info/address/DLEtw2QAeT4eFE2rpMUfBywTuvm7NbB1PY
13,500 DOGE on 2023-06-18: https://dogechain.info/address/DUFvGVDd4U6EfLchrXPsxjSbNCJSBukFnk
7,000 DOGE on 2023-06-18: https://dogechain.info/address/DMRPYBJ9xUEhFLVK8evSxag6YoNaz6g3qa
20,937 DOGE on 2023-06-09: https://dogechain.info/address/DFMfd4Wv34Bbz7errLfdaY3PZcJFbxvKZK

So they drained about 100K DOGE within 10 days, very "smart" move. Don't try to hide, Till and KD, you both will be caught and will pay that with your lives!

Hi, back in 2020 I transferred about € 10 000 worth of crypto to this exchange. I know now that it was stupid, but this knowledge won't help me now. How can I get my money back? This was most of my savings and I really need it back.

[JollyGood]

Whether it is a crypto exchange or anything else, it will be highly unlikely that a scammer will return any of the funds he has scammed. If they had any decency or even a small amount of compassion, they would never steal from people in the first place (especially not from those tat trusted the scammer in the first place).

Did you keep any details of the funds you sent to scammer TillKoeln? Do you have proof you deposited funds on his scam exchange?

You probably have to start some kind of private lawsuit. It is not a small amount, so surely you have a good reason to investigate further.
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but maybe you can start from here:

Moreover, @tillkoeln was last seen recently on Telegram.

It doesn't take much social engineering on Google to find that tillkoeln is the pseudonym of Till Schmitz from Köln/koeln (Cologne), Germany. He supposedly studies on Tilburg University. If it's him, he's the dumbest scammer I ever seen to expose too much about himself before scamming people lol.

and

this is Tills insta and other social media links. i hope we find him soon.. can wait to beat the money out of him,he stole from us. I start to get a Detective he find him sooner then we ..

User pokerowned also supported him, so I would try to investigate him as well

I have proof of a crypto transaction I sent from Coinbase to Unnamed Exchange.

I don't exactly have the means to start an international lawsuit though. As much as it is, a lawyer would cost more in no time.

[JollyGood]

Is it possible for you to post that proof? There is no need to start talking about international lawsuits but if you post evidence here you will bring credibility to your claim about being scammed. Unfortunately on many occasions people make scam accusations but do not provide evidence at any stage therefore their claim does not get the traction they had hoped for.

nope, not yet

So I'm planning to report Tillkoeln to the police to get my money back. I have the proof that he was the owner of Unnamed Exchange and I have the proof about his real identity. I naturally also have proof of sending crypto from Coinbase to my wallet addresses on Unnamed Exchange. The only thing I don't know is how I can prove that those wallet addresses belonged to Unnamed Exchange?

It's a bit unclear why you waited this long. He will certainly not return the money he took by himself.
Try to trace the flow of Bitcoin from the deposit address, maybe you will be able to connect what he did next with that money.
I encourage you to file a case against him, they shouldn't get away with this scam so easily.

[JollyGood]

Many members reading this thread would welcome it if you are willing to report Tillkoeln (the owner of Unnamed Exchange) to the police. You should not worry about having all the information at your disposal, why not report him to the police with the information you do have and allow them to investigate the parts that you are having trouble with?

Apparently, it seems that Tillkoeln (the owner of Unnamed Exchange) has allowed the domain to expire. If you go to the website you are directed to a "domain for sale" page.

Has there been any update with regards to anything at all related to unnamed.exchange or the scammer (Tillkoeln) that operated it? I wonder how many victims there would have been and if any of them managed to take legal action to get their funds back.

I filed a police report and, as far as I know, the investigation is still ongoing.
