Hello everyone! Dear traders, investors and crypto holders! Please, be cautious with investing in crypto trading after joining telegram group channels because it is a fake investment/scam and fraud scheme. Also, beware of X profiles with unknown persons behind various avatars and do not join their channels and groups! It is a trap! It is a global scam centers and it is a global fraud system which is increasing at a huge scale. I wish to all of you a safe investments and a bright future! I’m warning you everyone because I had been scammed before.

A friend of mine put some money in it and told me he could withdraw some of his winnings.
I told him it looks like an obvious ponzi but he won't believe me.

I want to share my personal experience to warn other cryptocurrency investors about a Telegram group called Whale Pump Futures Trading Connect Group.

The group advertises guaranteed profits within two days, including claims of turning $500 into $4,800.

I deposited $400 into its portfolio management programme. When I tried to withdraw the profits displayed on its website, I was asked to pay additional fees. Despite making further payments after receiving assurances, my withdrawal remains unreleased.

I also checked the trading screenshots shared in the group and found them to be fabricated. The advertised 400%–900% profits and screenshots of supposedly massive trading positions should not be trusted. I would strongly caution people against paying for VIP membership or following high-leverage trading calls without independent verification.

Has anyone else encountered this group or experienced similar withdrawal issues?

I am sharing this to raise awareness and help other investors avoid potential financial losses.

Saw a few fresh Base tokens where liquidity was funded, then drained hard. Sharing the addresses so people can check themselves before apeing:

1. $worth — funded ~$146K (Oct 26), under $1 left 0x6557056c5c891322c23e51ceefd24bfcde0d1079

2. $DSP — funded ~$126K (Oct 25), $0 left 0xc9bc896d9bc8bc7cc7917c147f115685dfb90209

Also: wallets on the US OFAC sanctions list still show up as payment targets. Two public SDN ETH addresses:

• SUEX OTC: 0x19aa5fe80d33a56d56c78e82ea5e50e5d80b4dff
• GARANTEX: 0x7FF9cFad3877F21d41Da833E2F775dB0569eE3D9

What to look for before buying: funded-before → near-zero liquidity, sell test fails / honeypot, fake huge pools with almost no volume, and sanctioned pay-to wallets.

Not financial advice. DYOR. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Before anyone brings it up, I'm aware of the TSSB cease and desist order and the claims that it's a scam. I've also heard that it's been profitable for some investors - which likely happened before the price sank.

My question is more related to claims that the coin is only operating at a fraction of the hashpower they've sold. Could it be that they haven't sold as much as they're claiming or is it for some other reason? Is that a sign of a scam or is it because the functionality of the mining equipment is not sufficient? Thanks for any input.

This may not be news to anyone, but using ArcVexa can be trouble. As noted here, withdrawal minimums are a red flag. A user called Dana who also used the name Angel_s led me to this one and it was costly. (303)944-0582 is a number to avoid, and (321)276-7229 is another. Be safe.

Just wondering if anyone knows if cryptomesh.io is a scam company it’s based in Melbourne

I want to share my experience in case it helps someone else recognize a similar situation. I met a man on InterPals (language exchange app) who called himself Anuman Nattawut (03/04/1991) also known as Natt. He said he was a 35-year-old Thai dentist living and working in the UK with his mom and brother living in Thailand, he said he was there from 10 years ago after his dad passed away. We talked for several days, had really long conversations by call.

He never asked me about my financial or properties or something like that. Just in a conversation he told me he had been investing through a website called CIX Investment (cix-investment.net) for about two years. He said he had made money from it and used his earnings to travel and buy things. He encouraged me to create an account and start investing bc I told him I wanted to start a business, he said I could get profits to achieve my goals.

When I told him I was struggling financially and could not afford to invest, he became upset. He said I did not trust him and questioned my feelings for him. He made it seem as if refusing to invest meant I did not care about him or our relationship. This made me feel that he was treating me more like a potential customer than a partner. After this, I started investigating his identity and the investment website.

Here is what I found:

I searched for his profile pictures in yandex and FaceCheck and found similar photos associated with other names. I also found the original owner on Instagram called thunvet73 who is a small Thai fitness influencer, he even know some people is using his photos to create fake accounts.

I searched the UK General Dental Council register for the name he gave me, but I could not find a matching registration. I could not verify his claim that he was a dentist in the UK.

I looked for independent information about CIX Investment. I could not find a reliable body of independent customer reviews that would help me verify the platform’s legitimacy. The website itself advertises returns such as 8% every 24 hours on its $50 minimum plan. This is an extremely suspicious promise and a major red flag. I found online warnings about similarly named CIX Investment websites, but I cannot confirm that every report refers to this exact domain. It is important to check the full website address.

I never invested any money, and I did not send him money. I cannot prove his real identity or who operates the website, so I am sharing this as a suspected romance scam, not as a legal finding. I reported his WhatsApp and telegrams account bc he has a Chinese number (he told me it was a number to talking with his family and friends an uk number just for patients) his telegram account nattawut400 and his Chinese number +86 13059190038‬ if you want to help to report him.

I am posting this so that anyone searching for Anuman Nattawut, Nattawut, or cix-investment.net may come across my experience before making a financial decision.

Please be careful.

Saw the MrBeast casino thing on Discord and looked into it. Reasons I think it's a scam:

1. The domain was registered on 26 September, so it's about four weeks old, through a cheap Turkish registrar, paid up for one year only. It presents itself as an established, licensed operator.
2. Support told me the licence is held by InterStorm N.V. Their own licenses page says TechSolutions Group N.V. Two different companies, same site.
3. InterStorm was dissolved on 10 November 2025 and its licence revoked on 8 December 2025. Support was still saying it was current. I asked for a licence number three times, never got one, only the Chamber of Commerce registration number.
4. Their "certificate of cooperation" is just a picture with the domain blanked out. The real certificate from the Curacao regulator for that same licence says 20bet.com. Everything else on it matches, they just deleted the domain.
5. LCB.org already investigated an identical site, betpoint.cc, and said it falsely presents itself as TechSolutions with "no affiliation, partnership, or connection."

Same pattern as the rest of these otherwise. Fake balance appears, withdrawal gets blocked with a verification error, you have to deposit to "verify", money never comes out. Mine went from $2,500 to $5,600 without me playing anything.

Also MrBeast has never launched a casino. He posted once about a Discord giveaway scam and never mentioned a casino.

One thing you can check yourself, server side so no browser needed. If both of these come back, the site is on the same platform as this one:

curl -sI -m 10 https://DOMAIN/ | grep -i '^cast-mode:'
curl -s -m 10 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://DOMAIN/verifyjs

Should print cast-mode and 666. Tested it against this one and a sibling, both hit, and a normal site, which didn't. Five domains answer this way and all five already have scam writeups.

Hello everyone, today I got an email from Paymonade asking me to fill my tax information, otherwise they will pause my withdraws and payments. After some digging I found they are used by Binance, where I keep all my crypto.

I wanted to ask if someone else has gotten the same email and if it is legit or not. Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hola.
Tengo un hermano muy estúpido. Creyó que podía comprar un iphone 15 pro por una página en Ig ¡por $2000! Yo le dije que no, que era estafa, pero andaba muele y muele y le terminó depositando.
La señora andaba presionando porque le cerraban DHL, después que la muy desgraciada quería que se pagara un seguro de $1850 donde iban a poner mitad y mitad, después que no, que iba a poner $1000 mi hermano y $850 ella.

EVIDENTEMENTE la señora ya no responde, pero mínimo no lo ha bloqueado. Lo más sensato dentro de toda esta estupidez es meter una denuncia con PROFECO, pero pregunto, ¿qué más recomiendan además de comprarle un cerebro?

My dad's friend convinced him to join a crypto website. My father gave him 500€ in cash to open an account. To me, it was a HUGE red flag and I tried over and over to tell him it's suspicious (just reading at reviews on trust pilot, it's on the blacklist of French authorities..) but unfortunately, my dad has always been extremely greedy.

I was sure he wouldn't see his money again but now, he told me they gave his 2000$ on the app Coinbase. And it seemed real. I urged him to try and take it out as fast as possible but now he doesn't believe me at all and he's absolutely sure he's going to be rich. Now, they're telling him to find 5 people to join so he can becomes VIP and get 4 signals instead of 3 to earn more money. He's trying to get 5 people to give him 500€ and he'll return the 2000$ they gave him in order to open their account.

I'm at loss at argument, in which step is he supposed to lose money? He finds me stupid and thinks I'm dumb for not joining, which I'll never do, but I'm starting not to see where he's being scammed. He said he won't put more and only capitalize on the money he already won and help people open account. I also don't understand what he does with the cash his group is supposed to give him. I'm starting to care less and less for him but I'm really scared he's going to convince my mom to join in too. ​​

Cross-posted to r/CryptoScams

This person do trading pools from his telegram and has a tiktok. He advertised $100 trading pool and have you send him the $100 in crypto then after paying, he wants another $87 for IT and processing fees.

All the transaction proofs he sent in telegram are all fabricated. I have all screenshots

Did anyone ever get any news on the Myblt scam?

Around June 2025, I had some savings, so I asked ChatGPT and other AI platforms to recommend promising cryptocurrencies. For some reason, they all kept recommending Little Pepe, so I decided to invest in it.

Whenever I post about my situation in their Telegram channels, they immediately block me. The launch date has been repeatedly postponed, and I believe this project is a scam and that people are being defrauded.

But how can AI programs do this? There are many people like me who invested in Little Pepe after hearing about it from ChatGPT and other AI platforms. From what I understand, they have raised approximately $23 million in total.

I am convinced that I have been scammed, but I would still like to hear your opinion. Does anyone have any information or thoughts about Little Pepe?

Has anyone traded with this company? This is the name it started with. Then, they changed it to aicryptosfxtrading. Now, it's aioraclecrypto.

My Phantom wallet had around 47 SOL stolen, and my MetaMask wallet lost 1.2 ETH.
Both wallets had different recovery phrases, and I haven’t knowingly shared them with anyone.
I hadn’t used my Phantom wallet for about a year. I’m trying to understand how this could have happened to both wallets.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know how this might have happened? Is there any way to recover the funds?
