Topic: [SCAM] Avrobit exchange (and all yellow clones) Alert (Read 2160 times)

The link for Bitwave.ltd don’t go there but it is a scam and people will send you or get you make a account and send you fake BTC on this test net that is on live servers. They send 8k USD btc then ask you to verify account costing 0.05BTC or 0.01 BTC thats $600-$3,200. Dom fall for it you won’t be able to withdraw the BTC and the funds added won’t be able to use to trade. If you do the funds will just end up being test net funds and the funds you deposit or any crypto you send will become into their bank and you will see test net balance of what you p
Purchase. Be scam wise and crypto scam aware. Read up on them every so often how people do them.

Scammers are everywhere same for ICO airdrops avoid them if they aren’t on a reputable paying place for every airdrop of its a telegram group or Twitter account of Facebook group don’t bother I did 130 of them and gained 1 token that turned live into a coin now worth $0.43USD  still I lost a lot with many phishing to email and calls to my phone from account being telegram needing my phone number and not had a burner to use.

Anyway yeah just thought I’d add lucky I didn’t fall for it but I nearly ddeposoted to binance to buy 0.055 BTC and then send to the shit site for activation or verification RED FLAG IF THEY WANT CRYPTO TO VERIFY ITS A SCAM.

Lucky I didn’t or have taken a loan out to have done it.. anyway be wise folks! 

I have a few more new domains to report.


Everyone should beware because these scammers search for victims on a variety of social networks and trying to lure them to these fake exchanges.

As reported earlier with bitraderxpay, I believe this might be the same group.

https://usdxtrade.com/

I was right about bitraderxpay as the site went offline, this seems to be the same design, but they have upped their game recently so it's harder to spot. If you can stick with the bigger exchanges that are legit.

It a bit of a different design but the name could suggest the same people. 'Earn up to 112% daily!' they say. Well, if that does not trigger alarms I don't know what does After a bunch of people reporting the same design of the website, maybe they changed it a bit...

https://bitraderxpay.ltd/

I have two that are most definitely from this bunch, and two that seem to be from the same scam creators but are a bit (pun intended) different.

More clones:

Apologies if its been reported, couldn't find it on the list.

TheNineClub has reported one new scam website that I think belongs to this list as well. It looks like the same Whitebit clone as the others.

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss. The crypto universe is full of such scam attempts, and you must be extra vigilant not to fall for them.
This type of scam has been around for a long time and it is (sometimes) important to use common sense. It defies logic for random internet person to send you a message and offer you a free BTC worth thousands of dollars.

This is well explained in this topic by Royse777: List of (un)known methods scammers user to scam users with honorable mention


As for legal actions, I’m not sure what you can do about it.  Scammers have most certainly ensured that they are difficult to identify, making it difficult to determine their location or true identity.

Hi everyone and I’m so appreciative of this chat and the help on this forum that I can’t thank enough.

I’m not sure if this is ok to post here but I thought it is since it’s the only place I find this website that is listed here to quote the post and my experience. I don’t know if This is purely to list the exchanges or projects that are bad or scams ect or if we can ask and post questions about them if we use them or have funds there ect. As I do. If not allowed here please move this. Thank you all.

Please see the quoted post of a lost of exchanges or websites that are listed as scams as one I have BTC on is listed here... 😥

Here is my problem on The below quote listing BitWave.LTD. I have been sent BTC from someone who must have verified account through depositing 0.01 BTC they had more in their account as they sent me a screen shot. This was to help this person as he was “blocked from depositing to Binance (or some other known legit exchange)” for what reasons I don’t know I believe it was to do with API use ir abuse for auto trading. They had the idea to send me a random person I met after they DM me on a social platform asking if I could take a deposit but keep 20% of the BTC. I thought OK!

Then he told me about the website exchange he was on “Bitwaveltd” he asked if I had a wallet address not a Bitwave.Ltd wallet, which I did have but I didn’t use it (I wasn’t thinking nor did I know what to do as I was/am new to crypto back a few months) I thought from lack of knowledge opening an account on this exchange would make it a easy transaction (I was wrong).

They messing me and I get the account finished and send the deposit adress for BTC. I receive the BTC. I paste in his BTC adress to send to minus 20% click send, get message that I must verify the account with a deposit of 0.01btc from any exchange wallet. I don’t have 0.01BTC to do this nor the money really to deposit on bunance and then buy 0.01 BTC and deposit to verify sso I can (supposedly send this BTC back to its owner.

I have been in contact with him and he has even offered to send me the value of $0.01 BTC to my bank or offered PayPal if I wasn’t ok giving my bank details. So I don’t think he or she is behind or apart of any scams rather likely they are A victim. I just don’t want them to send that money and have it be something I then deposit or get 0.01BTC do verify bitwaveltd and loose more of their money.

So I decide I need to try and get this sorted to get the BTC back to its owner..
I researched into Bitwave.ltd when this happened and the first webpage I open was a page that reviewed and stated the site had no bad reports and it was a clean website..I also checked virus total links on its home page profile page and the exchange page. That was all fine so I figured I’ll save up and buy 0.015 BTC on binance to transfer to this website. So I’m almost there with $ and I decide to check again today and looked into the website for conscription details ect.

Today I found the supposed location on a Google maps as AUST but many review and scam sites show its USA based. FIRST RED FLAG. I found this Australian location through searching the only name within Bitwave (and it’s listed in the quoted post below) which I find a person that has a finacial role but it’s for different company/s one at the top being “Bitwave.io” not “Bitwave.ltd”. SECOND RED FLAG.. since I couldn’t find any details on bitwave LTD that’s legit or shows it’s a true business I found this post and figured I’d comment see if anyone else is having this issue or any issue with bitwave.ltd.
So I then thought I’ll search for it’s stock on global exchange. I couldn’t find any company with that name or Bit Wave or Bitcoin Wave or BTCWave or Bitwaves (there are a few bitwaves.tv .io and other dot.com types. That was the THIRD RED FLAG.

Basically hope this helps others not invest here if it is absolutely a scam as it sounds like it. Also I have one question can I get this looked into legally and say I had a good lawyer would they be able to get the BTC/$ value out of the exchange or the people responsible? Since it is still a crime.

I know it’s not likely but I figure I ask here where the best knowledge is at 😚 thanks


So sad ... 😭😭😭

Unfortunately, dkbit98, I have to report a few more new domains.

Please add these domains to the list of SCAM exchanges, they are all clones of whitebit.com:


I don't know if they've been reported before. I didn't find them on the list.

@Baofeng thanks for the support!

And.. they are still alive:

Another re-spin website:

Here are two new scam trading sites with the same format and UI.


There could be more out there, so everyone should be very attentive with this clone sites.

@decodx - good find, just continue to posts here, others are welcome as well.
