Red Flags: NadiFin.com | Scam Promoter Returns

[albon]

What happened:: I found a member promoting a platform called NadiFin | Non-Custodial Crypto Exchange. What caught my attention was his trust feedback, which shows: [This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.]

He also has 4 negative trusts and has promoted other scams before including a fake AI seed finder and a fake hardware wallet scam. @qwertyup23 also created a flag against him in 2021 for promoting a scam project.

Now, years later, this scammer has returned to promote this exchange.

Here are the red flags I found:

┈➤ My Phantom wallet showed me this warning after I opened the exchange link:




┈➤ PhishDestroy.io has flagged the domain as malicious. It reports 4 security engines detecting it, with a Critical score of 88/100.




┈➤ VirusTotal flagged this URL as malicious/suspicious:




┈➤ A site like OwlWebmasters.com pointed out that there is no specific company behind the project. They also mentioned that the project or website name changed recently, and that the commercial terms are not published.




┈➤ There are positive reviews on the platform, butI'm not sure they're real. They may have been written by the people behind the platform themselves. Trustpilot shows that they have no reviews so far.



┈➤ It's not clear who's behind this platform, or even links to their official social media accounts.

Additional Notes: These are the red flags I've found so far. This member has been promoting scams on the forum for years, and he already has an active flag on his account. Be careful with anything he promotes and always check things out before using a platform.

Thanks for flagging that scammer. Even an existing scammer or Ponzi scammer promoting a real platform – I won’t trust them. Regarding the NadiFin, it seems suspicious to me. I would never use that platform. There are a lot of trusted decentralised platforms for trading, but I am not necessarily trusting a platform advertised by the scammer.

I will advise all users to avoid that platform; the wallet would be drained by the scammer. We can see scammers often try to scam with new techniques. Just be careful.

┈➤ There are positive reviews on the platform, butI'm not sure they're real. They may have been written by the people behind the platform themselves. Trustpilot shows that they have no reviews so far.

There is no way to trust any online reviews; they could be manipulated very easily.

Urw. It's also worth noting that he seems to have other alt accounts on the forum promoting other scam platforms alongside him.

Take a look at this member: @vikingelon

And here's the topic he recently posted: GrineoPay — Non-Custodial Crypto Payment Gateway With 0.5% Fees, Instant Payouts.

Take a look at the site promoted by OP and the site promoted by this account: GRINEOPAY.COM and NADIFIN.COM

The two sites look very similar in terms of their website setup. They also use the same S3 storage domain and have the same API Docs and Plugin pages. Both domains are also registered through Cloudflare, Inc.



Also, compare the topic posted by OP with the one posted by this account. You'll find that the wording is the same.

Both accounts have also promoted AI Seed Finder. Take a look at --> [this archived topic] and [this archived topic].

That's true, and it's best not to rely on them completely. It's better to check reviews on independent review sites rather than on the platform itself, as you can also see here:

Since we are talking about malicious URL, I have reported it, and it should be removed shortly.
I suspect that this account was either purchased or deemed useless, and is now being used for phishing links.

Nice catch, Albon.

I think his work has been to promote scams in the forum, and it seems he has run out of clean accounts, and he now just decided to recycle the old ones that are already tagged. I see most of the accounts that tried to send him positive feedback were also tagged for promoting scams

The good news is that the emmaglory5 has also been banned by the moderators
