Hello

Today I just received a call from scammer from the uk fake number +5140887296 and asked me to install any desk screen sharing and I told them not to access my personal information and they said I have nothing to do with your personal information I am just helping you to set up the new account to start trading  and I hanged up. I was just messing up with scammer pretending to trade with them. However when I hanged up I receive five missed calls from different numbers. I did not give my real number just a virtual number from my app.
I was given the website www.ethertrader.cc and the website looks professional and claimed to be featured on cnn and other news. However when I looked at the domain on Whois, it is hosted by Sarek Oy. I searched it on google and found that the hosting company is scam. Just go to third result in google and look for shutting down scam site.

At the footer of the website ether trader I noticed they have the uk address which is fake and registration number but upon looking at the registration number, it is regulated in Marshall island and upon checking the regulatory body I found this from this site:

ETHER LIMITED

iFinma LN8318167 – 2116-03-14
Operating Trademark
https://ethertrader.cc
Registered office address
20-22 Wenlock Road, London, England
Company status
ACTIVE
Company type
Private Limited Company
Incorporated on
2016-03-14
Accounts
N/A
Confirmation statement
N/A

This is contradictory because according to Whois the domain name for ethertrader.cc is registered on December 19th 2022.

There is also spelling mistake on the website where on the menu tab it says for the costumers instead of customers. The regulatory body seems to have the fake uk address with domain name registered on Marshall island.

I figured out how the scam works. Tell me what u think?

Facebook might don't know that the site is scam so much better if you know that the platform advertise using facebook is scamming and you have evidence to show then report it to them since for sure they do some action with the those scams reported to them.
Scammers are smart nowadays they use popular figure just to gain attention especially for those newbies who's innocent of such deceiving tactics they made.

These scammers that have been using like videos of Elon Musk that talks in a convention and then putting it up like it's theirs and put some text about their project is also popular in YouTube hacked accounts. And those comments that are supporting these scammers are also them, it is obvious that those are fake accounts too. Honestly, just like YouTube, Google, Facebook(Meta) isn't really strict in terms of these ads that are coming out to our feed. In fact, there's one that I've reported before about a fake ledger IPO and it's a sponsored ad.

A lot of red flags already.

• Allowing someone, a random stranger to remote access your PC
• Huge deposit
• Giving you rapport and trust that you can withdraw anytime

Yes, many from there are fake and paid reviews.

@Hamada1983: you shouldn't place links to scam sites, all you're doing is helping them with another backlink.

You can block their (advertising) servers, I've blocked more than 800 facebook URLs from my hosts file. See StevenBlack/hosts, scroll down a bit, and copy the hosts file you like. The internet is a much nicer place without social media and targeted advertising

Facebook ad algorithms are so bad for taking down fraudulent content, I think they just work manually.

That means the data sources they use do not contain sufficient conditions to change the review status of scam sites to "dangerous". They also collect visitor reports, you can use that to add negative points to review list.

Facebook rarely moderate the ads that are being posted on their platform, so there is no surprise there. the video you saw is most likely a deep fake video created by the scammers. I've seen similar videos before where known individuals are being used on their "advertising video" to promote their scam project.

Good decision, this will definitely go bad for you if you let them have access to your PC.

out of curiosity, would you mind posting the video you saw?

They do not investigate and they are not trained to check if the project or platform is a scam they only act if these are reported, but in the first place why would they, they are going to pay and that will support their platform

I have seen so many of these and they pop up on comments from  popular posts because they know they can get more leads and attention if they target popular pages and posts

You did the right thing this is how they scam people by getting access to your computer I have seen this method several times on Youtube not only as a trading platform but they also act as a call center from a popular marketplace like Amazon

They are well organized in fact they have a big group working like a call center organization and part of that is establishing the reputation of the platform they set up to lead their victims here.
If you are not fully aware of this and you are greedy you'll likely fall to this.

Thank you for the warning, but as I am sure you're aware, we can't regulate what facebook's ads show their users. All we can do is to warn people about possible scams, which you nicely did. I think there is a very strong basis that afexeu[dot]com is a scam. Their website only claimed that they're regulated, but there were no further info of who issue their license.



And "bethebank" rang a bell on my mind, but I can't find any record of them on this forum for previous scam attempt. I can't shrug away the sense of eerie familiarity with their name, though. Anyone have a better luck on this matter, perhaps?

Hello,

Why does Facebook allows ads for Elon musk to present opportunity for bitcoin auto trading using Quantum AI?
I noticed in the video that Elon Musk is speaking about the AI platform that it can auto trade with $250 USD minimum deposit and help people become rich in a short amount of time. This fake news  video must have been done by scammers and I always report the ads but it comes back again. I also saw the comments in Facebook that the platform helped them earned money but I believe it is a fake comments made by scammers with fake or hacked Facebook profile.

I just installed an app called text me with a virtual phone number and not my actual number to see how thee scam works and I get calls from different number from different countries so scammer encourage me to sign up and deposit the money but I hang up the phone. The scammers claimed the trading website is regulated in Canada and UK which is not true. This are the website www.bethebank.site which seems to be offline and www.afexeu.com but unregulated and they claimed company not regulated is not a necessarily a scam and they said I can try with $250 dollars and see how it works and if it did not perform well I can withdraw the money anytime but that seems a lie. Also one of the scammers who called me said they want  me to install any desk so they can have access to my pc to set up the account but I never gave them access nor deposited the $250 dollars.

The strange thing that scamadviser give afexeu.com a very good score how can that happen? They write fake good reviews to give the rating high?
