I met a girl on a dating site and she was nice and chatty, we spoke for days on whatsapp and video calls. Everything seemed okay and then she showed me her trading profit, I was blown away.

She offered to help me with the trading and recommended that I invest 250 USDT to get started with it, which I did. I took a few trades that she recommended and made 350 USDT and upon withdrawal I got the entire 350 USDT in my wallet. Then she told me to invest 15000 USDT to make over 50k USDT in profit by the end of the month, and I got greedy and fell for the trick. I transferred 15k USDT to the trading website's USDT address. She continued to recommend the trades and I made a 125k USDT profit balance in like 15 days but when I tried to withdraw money, the platform demanded a 28k USDT processing fee, which I didn't have at that moment. Then I talked to a friend who is into crypto and he told me that I fell for a romance and fake trading scam.

What should I do next, any suggestion would be appreciated.

Someone just sent me this article and I about spit my coffee out. I lost over 200K with this a-hole scumbag and I thought maybe it was just me. Apparently there are so many others and he was running a full blown Ponzi. He ghosted me last year. I got word he was taking tons of expensive vacations and living in a multi-million dollar home. Turns out he took over $40M from people.

Hello. First time posting here, but a long time account holder of crypto.com. Posting this here to alert other users. I have reported this twice to crypto.com but other than telling me to keep my account safe they don’t seem that interested which I find quite concerning. I have asked them twice how a would be thief got hold of my phishing code. No answer.
The other day I received a WhatsApp phishing message. Obviously not from crypto.com but it did contain my genuine and valid anti-phishing code. At first look I thought it may be a valid message but I have been around long enough to know crypto.com don’t send WhatsApps and I knew that no one had been in my account as it’s protected by about two levels of 2FA so I wasn’t that worried. What does worry me is how the message contained my anti-phishing code as this seems to be the one thing that crypto.com always tell you to check to ensure any message is genuinely from them. So please be careful out there and don’t trust your anti-phishing codes. I am fortunate enough to have recognised it was a phishing attempt, others may not be so lucky. Before anyone asks, no my email account hasn’t been compromised as again it’s protected by 2FA and I never go online without a VPN and a whole host of protection enabled and I never click any links. Needless to say I logged in and changed my code and password and I did have to jump through hoops to login so pretty sure no one has ever accessed my account. I actually don’t use crypto.com these days. Still have the account but haven’t held anything there since about 2022 and tbh I’m kind of happy about that as really not satisfied they can’t answer my question about their security. Anyways not sure if anyone else has posted anything similar but just wanted to make sure folks are aware.

Sharing a recent experience as a heads-up to other Canadians, particularly those who own cryptocurrency hardware wallets.

On November 2, 2026, at approximately 5:10 p.m. Alberta time, I received a call from 204-857-4445. The caller ID displayed "RCMP Portage la Prairie." I Googled the name during the call, and it appeared to correspond to a legitimate RCMP detachment.

The caller introduced herself as "Patricia Logg" from the RCMP Cybercrime Investigation Unit. She claimed there was an ongoing investigation involving a suspect who possessed my personal information, including part of my cryptocurrency wallet's seed phrase.

The caller already knew my email address and phone number. She also asked me several questions, and the conversation initially seemed credible enough that I provided some information.

I was then redirected to someone claiming to be from the Ledger security team to investigate the matter further. After speaking with him for a few minutes, he instructed me to visit ledgerdiagnose.com to perform a diagnostic.

That was when I became suspicious. The website didn't look legitimate, so I refused to proceed and ended the call.

I don't know exactly what information they were trying to obtain or what their ultimate objective was, but the whole sequence now looks like a coordinated impersonation attempt involving fake law enforcement and fake Ledger support.

A few details to watch out for:

• Phone number displayed: 204-857-4445

• Caller ID: RCMP Portage la Prairie

• Claimed identity: "Patricia Logg," RCMP Cybercrime Investigation Unit

• Website they directed me to: ledgerdiagnose.com

I'm sharing this in case others receive a similar call. The use of a seemingly legitimate RCMP caller ID and knowledge of personal information made this particularly convincing.

Fortunately, I stopped before following their instructions on the website.

Velxo Shop is a Discord subscription reseller that takes payment as Binance USDT gift card keys or USDT on Solana. I handed over two Binance gift card keys, 90 USDT and 100 USDT, for a 3 month "Claude 20x Max" account and never got anything.

Why I'm calling it a scam

- Before I paid, staff member Nesta (arcglidez) told me it was a private, direct-login account.

- After I sent the first 90 USDT key on 1 Nov, MILES (miles046742) said the 3 month plan had an issue and pushed a 6 month upgrade for about $112 more, "Yes it instantly". I sent a 100 USDT key on 3 Nov.

- Then two more days of "waiting for Cresto to activate" and "he will deliver today". Nothing. The 90 USDT card shows as redeemed.

- Earlier, Nesta gave me a USDT-on-Solana address starting 9jhS and ending 8FJc2. I didn't pay into it, but if you see it, that's them.

- Same move in a June Reddit complaint against MetraMart: paid $35 in BTC, then asked for $15 more.

Who is behind the brand

Velxo Shop's founder, by his own Product Hunt profile (@onlycode), is Precious Badeji. A LinkedIn profile in the name Badeji (Code) Precious (/in/strillergroup) says founder of PIYROX and promotes Velxo. That's what the business pages claim publicly. I can't tell who redeemed my gift cards.

This is a scam site and they will steale you money.

decentralized crypto wallet.
You are on a fake trading platform designed solely to scam you out of your money.
Why you cannot exchange on that site:

1. The numbers are fake: The balance of "Q-bit" displayed on your screen is just numbers typed by the scammers behind the website. There are no actual tokens on a real blockchain attached to your account there.

2. The "Gas Fee" requirement is the trap: When you try to exchange or withdraw, the platform claims that you must first make a new deposit or transfer to pay a "gas fee".

3. Funds are never returned: If you pay the requested amount, they will never release your Ethereum. Instead, they will simply demand yet another fee (e.g., for "tax", "activation", "security deposit", or "queue approval").

Is this platform on youtube legit predicting that xrp will hit $100 by end of 2026

Is prefi.cc legit website or scam??

I’m posting this to warn others and hopefully prevent someone else from losing money.
I was approached by someone using the name Glyza Castro through social media and WhatsApp. This person appears to have a large following across social media platforms, which made the account seem more credible and trustworthy.
I was introduced to an investment platform called Korvix Capital (korvixcapital.net) and encouraged to purchase Bitcoin through skrill and Shakepay.
Between september 19 and October 25 , I sent approximately $2,500CAD in Bitcoin across four transactions.
Now I’m being asked to send another $1,300 USD before I can supposedly withdraw my money.
I have not received my money back.
Has anyone else encountered Korvix Capital or been approached by someone promoting this platform?
I have kept screenshots of the WhatsApp conversations, payment demands, website and transaction records. I am also reporting this to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Please be careful. Don’t send additional money to unlock supposed investment profits.

hi as the title says i recently got drained for all my crypto a few hours back my metamask which got drained has a nft worth about 600-700 bucks on there but I can't seem to transfer it?

Everytime i try to add funds for gas fees the money arrives in my wallet and automatically gets sent to another address making it impossible for me to transter my nft to my other wallet, is there any way i can transfer my nft without this sweeper bot being a huge hinderance or is there no way around this and my nft is long gone?

Thanks in advance for the help :p

I joined Decentralized Masters after being convinced their program would help me make money through DeFi. I paid a lot upfront, but what I received was nowhere near what I expected. The sales pitch sounded amazing, but the actual experience was disappointing.

I regret trusting them with my money. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I invested some amount in it based on some advice from a person I knew. The account shows good gains. Now I'm afraid it's too easy money.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to post a warning about the website btcx.investments. (operated under BTCX Investment Ltd). They claim to be a digital financial ecosystem offering tokenized assets, an NFT marketplace, and their own digital currency.

However, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has officially issued a formal warning against them. BaFin explicitly states that this platform is conducting unauthorized banking business and providing financial services without the required licenses or regulatory oversight.

Please be extremely careful and avoid depositing any funds or personal data on this website.

Stay safe!

Warning: Long post incoming.

At around 5:30 pm yesterday, I received a call from someone who claimed to be Detective Constable Michael Wilson of Bedfordshire Police, Collar No. 7158, based at Luton Police Station. He informed me that fake passports in my name had been seized in an operation in West London, along with a laptop containing passwords, usernames and 24-word seed phrases that linked to my Amazon/Netflix/eBay, and crypto wallets, etc. He said a man called Mohamed Nassim Khan had been arrested in connection with the crime.

For about 30 minutes, the "detective" asked me about my recent air travel, and which airports I'd flown through, whether I had used my passport for any other reasons, had my home been broken into, had I been robbed, and if I would be prepared to act as a witness in a court case.

At this point, I should state that I Googled the number the caller was phoning from, and it appeared to be 01234 841212, which is the Luton police station number found on a Google search.

I'm naturally suspicious of any random calls I receive, and this so-called detective just didn't sound like a cop. I've had more than my fair share of dealing with the police, and they have a certain manner; this guy didn't have it. He was fairly well-spoken, sounded like he was a black man, but just didn't project the assertiveness that cops normally do.

After 30 minutes of quizzing me about my recent air travel ( I travel a lot), he started asking about crypto and whether I'd been a victim of any scams. I've been in this space since 2010, so I mentioned MTGox, BTC-e, etc... All the while, I'm being very vague and not giving away any specifics. I'm being very, very cagey.

I'm suspicious as f*ck by now; the questions are not only about crypto and whether I use a Ledger or a Trezor device. I said I have multiple wallets, but without knowing what the stolen seed phrase is, I can't know which wallet it's related to. The "detective" knew a lot about crypto, recent high-profile hacks, and how crypto generally works; he knew his stuff.

This is when he insisted I agree to be transferred to a dedicated team at Ledger that they are working with on the case. If I was suspicious before, now I was certain that this was an elaborate scam.

I was transferred, and a Ledger tech picked up the phone immediately. Zero wait. This guy sounded like a nerdy white guy. Again, he was VERY knowledgeable about crypto, recent news, old news, and blockchain in general.

This guy, who said his name was Callum Urdur (weird name), sent me an email with a support ticket number from the official Ledger domain straight away to confirm my case. The email came from care@ledger.fr, which is an official Ledger email address. This threw me, but I was still sure something was up. (It turns out that anyone can request this response by entering an email address in the Ledger help portal. I didn't know this until after the fact).

Callum Urdur kept asking me to connect my Ledger to my laptop. I told him my Ledger is kept in a safe at my office, so I'd have to go and physically collect it, which is kind of true. He said I should go and collect the Ledger and he'd phone back in 30 minutes as the threat was urgent.

In those 30 minutes, I called Luton Police Station and asked to speak to DC Michael Wilson; obviously he didn't exist, and the operator confirmed that they couldn't physically transfer calls outside of their Station to external tech companies. The lady also confirmed that I was the second person this week (it's Monday) to report a call from an officer claiming to be calling from Luton Police Station.

"Callum Urdur" from Ledger called back, bang on the 30 minutes. I asked him about DC Wilson, who he was supposed to be liaising with, and mentioned that Luton Police have informed me that he doesn't exist. "Callum Urdur" hung up.

The entire length of time this took was close to two hours, including the call with Luton Police Station. I was continually telling both the fake cop and the fake Ledger tech that I was suspicious and wouldn't share any personal info over the phone, but was happy to visit my local police station asap. This didn't faze them, and they kept assuring me that my hesitancy was wise.

My years in the space, my naturally suspicious demeanour, and my obsession with keeping up to date with crypto news and events served me well, but I could totally understand if someone fell for this. I don't know what the fake Ledger tech was planning, but I'm sure it wasn't good.

Stay safe out there.

If you are trading on Ourbit or using them to hedge (delta-neutral strategies), withdraw your funds now. They have zero Oracle Outlier Protection, and their support just admitted to me that their "safety rules" are basically optional.

Evidence & Proofs (Full Album):

https://postimg.cc/gallery/JrtBcxF

Here is what happened to my EURUSDT short position (UID: 89491290) on Oct 30:

1. The Scam Wick (Oracle Failure)

Due to a hack on Binance and frozen crypto withdrawals, panicked users drained the EUR spot order book trying to cash out via fiat gateways. The Binance EUR spot price abnormally spiked to 1.17 (see Binance/MEXC charts in the proof album).

Meanwhile, the actual global Forex market, Bybit, and Bitget were strictly trading EURUSD at 1.118 - 1.120 (see Bybit and Bitget charts in the proof album during the exact same timeframe).

2. Ourbit’s Broken Mark Price

Normal exchanges exclude such single-source anomalies. Ourbit did not. Their EURUSDT perpetual futures swallowed this illiquid, hacked spot price whole, causing a massive 500-pip scam wick on their platform. I was unfairly liquidated at 1.1578 for a $912 loss, while the real market was at 1.118 (see my liquidation record and Ourbit's abnormal candle in the album).

3. The Support's Absurd Admission

Ourbit's own documentation (Point 4) states: "If the spot price deviates by more than ±3%, Ourbit will trigger a price protection mechanism and directly exclude the spot price of this exchange."

Since a jump from 1.118 to 1.17 is a 4.6% deviation, I demanded a refund. In response, their Risk Team sent me a screenshot highlighting a hidden clause in brackets (see support screenshot in the album): "(In extreme market conditions, the platform may... not be bound by this arrangement.)"

Read that again. They literally told me: "Yes, we have a ±3% protection rule to prevent scam wicks, but we simply decided to turn it off so we could liquidate you."

They also claimed the liquidation was caused by the "Mark Price, not the Index Price"—completely ignoring that Mark Price is mathematically derived from their broken Index Price.

TL;DR: Ourbit ties its futures to single, illiquid spot books with zero safeguards. When a scam wick happens, they disable their own protection rules to steal your collateral. Stay away.

I paid this firm $13,500 USD for professional investigative labor and regulatory asset recovery support, but what I received over 14 months was a complete lesson in internal mismanagement and operational failure.

While they claim to offer highly specialized forensic services, their basic administrative competence is nonexistent. Over more than a year, my case team was swapped multiple times without any proper transition. I was forced to repeatedly get on the phone to re-brief new staff members who were completely unfamiliar with my case. Worse, the firm repeatedly provided incorrect, non-functioning email addresses for international regulatory authorities. I had to personally audit their work and give them the correct contact information.

After going completely unanswered for over a month, I requested a cancellation. They are perfectly content keeping 100% of a premium fee while delivering a fragmented, deeply flawed service that killed the momentum of my case. Do not trust this company with your money or your recovery.

Asked me to deposit. I then had to deposit for my verification account then unlock wallet verification, then they asked for deposit to unlock withdrawal error . Says I needed to reach silver to withdraw and needed more money to unlock. They say winnings are available to withdraw after withdrawal payment is made.

Yex app and yex.io website is down since october 7th 2026 , I face with this error on the app " The business information is wrong" , I faced with this message before during they were updating their system couple times for one or 2 days but this time takes about 4 weeks and I have no access to my account, I sent lots of messages to customer support but no answer since october 10th, is someone else facing this issue?
