Feed — Scam and Fraud

Wash trading: fake volume that dresses up a dead market

Matched buys and sells with yourself (or friends) invent interest — they do not invent genuine liquidity.

Free trading academies funded by ad spend are funnels — and look-alike domains are a separate hazard.

A token that mathematically cannot fall, plus licences that gate withdrawals, is a recruitment machine.

Huge balances that never withdraw can feel like a relationship — that attachment is the trap, not proof.

Being force-fed a vile classifieds creative means targeting is broken — not that you owe the advertiser a look.

Another Telegram roll-call of trading gurus — the filter is who earns when you click.

A platform that took your deposit without fuss, then declares your withdrawal address alien, is arguing with your money — not with blockchain facts.

Telegram copy-trade brands that rename weekly and bill “insurance” before withdrawal are running an advance-fee exit.

Real exchange anti-phishing tags are free settings — nobody sells them as a smart-contract product.

Constant spare URLs are usually evasion infrastructure, not a customer convenience feature.

Anti-money laundering reviews are real — weaponising them only when you try to cash out is the tell.

When a site accepts your deposit freely, then demands an insurance or binding payment to withdraw, the compliance language is costume.
