[Scam] Achillescoins exchange

[notblox1]

What Happened: This website is looking like fake Binance exchange and they are sending messages to people to register and get free bitcoins.
They say that they are located in Australia but this is not a real exchange so don't register and don't send any coins there if you don't want to get scammed.

I did some digging and found other "fake" websites that were using that exact same template and content:

They don't have an announcement thread here and they don't have social media channel or even a group channel, only a fool will trade which claim to be the most advanced cryptocurrency exchange when they do not have a team profile on their webpage so people can check if the team can live up to their claim, all the warning sign are written on this scam exchange.

They say that they are located in Australia

You forgot to archive the page that had that information, so here it is: About Us ^[archived]

This is a newly created fake exchange. Scammers have created this website in such a way that inexperienced crypto users do not realize that it is a fake website. I have observed that there are no links on the website that can be used to contact them. And I saw in the FAQ that if anyone wants to withdraw, they have to be verified! This means that if someone deposits money, it is the best excuse to get their money stuck, because they have created this fake website to scam.

They just want to attract some fool people  by providing the suitable design like binance or other popular exchange so that they can steal. Lol I am still laughing after reading their FAQ. It seems they just described how register , login, and deposit . Also they said that check mail in SPAM BOX lol. Just this line help to make think twice before registration. If people don't care then they should be victim of these scams.

Thank you for finding and archiving them, I added this information in first but, they are identical with website I found, and only difference is with domain names and text, logo is also identical.
I didn't have time to archive About page but I see that all this website say they are based in Australia

You're very welcome

they are identical with website I found, and only difference is with domain names and text, logo is also identical.

Exactly... I have a strong feeling that they're not connected to one another ^{[multiple owners]} and just purchased an exchange theme from one of those unethical digital marketplaces!
^{- I tried to look for a clue by viewing each of their page sources, but as soon as I used the "CTRL + F" shortcut, it freezes the page.}

You're right and this time, I didn't do it on purpose since clearly, they're just a bunch of carbon copies.

The achillescoin.com domain was previously used for a scam/dead coin called 'Achilles [ACH]'.
A newbie member WinTroy posted this ANN back in 2018.

The Justin Hance avalanche of clones, there are hundreds of them
Just put this phrase in google search and you'll find a few dozens still active:

"Our company begins its history from July 2017, when it was developed and registered by our founder - Justin Hance and his team."

Unfortunately, there is no way to keep up with them, probably it's still a pretty lucrative scam as they afford to come with tens of new domains every month. I wonder if at this point they aren't simply using URL masking and just redirect users to some other website rather than setting it up from scratch and deal with the permanent loss of suspended accounts.
