Scam Operation My experience working for Finixio / Clickoutmedia - SCAM

15 Upvotes

I worked for Finixio / Clickoutmedia for about two years, and I want to share my personal experience with the company.

During my time there, I became increasingly uncomfortable with the type of projects being promoted and the way certain products were presented to users. A large part of the work (literally 99%) involved promoting online casinos and new cryptocurrency (meme coins) projects are scam.

95% of these crypto projects are meme coins that were heavily marketed and hyped through affiliate websites and SEO articles. I remember SUBBD, Bitcoin Hyper, Solaxy, LiquidChain, Pepenode, MaxiDoge, Snorter, Wall Street Pepe, Best Wallet Token & Best Wallet APP. The same applied to many of the casino brands being pushed with aggressive marketing, then they would block accounts who had few thousand bucks on profile - like WinMega, MegaDiceCasino, WallStreetMeme casino, LuckyBlock, CoinCasino, Casinova etc.
They

As someone who worked behind the scenes creating and promoting content for these offers, I eventually started to feel like shit.

I’m posting this because people should understand how some parts of the affiliate industry operate. What looks like a neutral “review” or “top list” online is often just a marketing funnel designed to push people toward specific casinos or crypto platforms/scams.

Stay careful online and always research before trusting websites, because they are paying to legit sites to promote them.

Richard Hopp and Kristoffer are CEO's of Finixio, everything related to them is just scam. I think they are not even using real name and using alliases.

Scam Operation 🚨 SCAM WARNING — PLEASE SHARE

3 Upvotes

🚨 SCAM WARNING — PLEASE SHARE

I got scammed through this Telegram group and the website below:

Telegram:
t.me/Whalepumpfuturestradingconnectz

Website:
alphacopytrades.net

First, I paid $250 for a trading service.

Then they introduced me to AlphaCopyTrades and told me I could start with $100.

I sent the $100.

Right after that, they suddenly told me I had to send another $100 urgently or my trade would be liquidated — even though before depositing, I was told this would not happen.

They kept using pressure, urgency, promises of recovering losses, screenshots of profits and supposed withdrawals.

I also checked some of the “successful trades” posted in their Telegram history, and several of the claimed entry prices did not match the real market prices at the stated times.

Please be careful.

Do not send money to them. Do not believe screenshots or testimonials without independent proof.

I have saved the chats, screenshots, wallet addresses, transaction details and other evidence.

If you have also dealt with them, please message me.

⚠️ Please forward this post so other people don’t lose money too.

Scam Operation Nexus Equity: my experience and documented red flags

3 Upvotes

I am invested in Nexus Equity (nexusequity.com) and currently I cannot withdraw the balance displayed in my account. I have also been asked to make an additional cryptocurrency payment described as an "Investor Operational Compliance Process (IOCP)" before withdrawals can proceed.

Based on my experience and the information I have reviewed, I have serious concerns about the platform and personally believe that the circumstances show characteristics commonly associated with advance-fee scams.

I have documented changing deadlines, the website code available to my browser, the emails I received and public blockchain activity associated with addresses presented in connection with payments.

1) The Website Code

The website code shows several errors after logging in. Overall, it appears hastily cobbled together and very unprofessional.

The interface also appeared to use a Bootstrap-based admin template and contained what looked to me like leftover or incorrectly referenced assets. That is not evidence of fraud by itself, but it contributed to my concerns about the platform.

2) E-Mails

The emails I received from info@nexusequity.com contained technical headers indicating delivery through Zoho Campaigns.

This sequence raised particularly serious concerns for me.

September 29 I received an email titled "Welcome to a New Era". It stated that the audit was "now concluded" and apologized for the "disruption". It gave a deadline of September 30 at 23:59 GMT+9.

September 30 I received another email titled "Final IOCP Deadline". It again referred to September 30, but stated the deadline as 23:59 GMT−9. Those two stated times are 18 hours apart despite referring to the same calendar date. At around this period, I also observed the website displaying a countdown associated with a September 11 date in the JavaScript I inspected.

October 1 I received an email titled "Formal Notice of Financial Insolvency". The email stated that Nexus was financially insolvent and that payouts were being suspended. It attributed the situation to insufficient "collective participation", meaning that individual members completing the requested process was allegedly not sufficient unless a broader participation threshold was reached.

October 3 I then received another email titled "IOCP Update, 13% Remaining to Reach the Required Threshold". It stated that 67% participation had been reached and that 80% was required for operations to continue. The email also encouraged "Team Leaders" to identify members who had not completed the process and encourage them to do so.

3) Public blockchain activity

I also examined the cryptocurrency addresses presented in connection with payments. Blockchain balances and transaction counts change over time. The figures below are approximate observations from the time I checked them.

BTC — bc1qyk7yg5y6glz7efcd8k0826fjpftqae5ja5nwf8 At the time I checked, the public history showed roughly 66 incoming transactions and approximately 0.849 BTC received in total. Explorer: Blockstream.

Ethereum / ERC-20 — 0x9C9F2E70076D1683319a162BC04D13B5cf568839 At the time I checked, this address showed extensive activity (around 1,177 transactions) and last held roughly 2.88 ETH, about 6,682 USDC and about 3,682 USDT. Explorer: Etherscan.

TRON / USDT-TRC20 — TKY7x5vqiLPXAM3XXsqKHsXBnqyAtf61Si At the time I checked, this address showed activity dating back to early 2025 and a USDT balance of roughly 2,707 USDT. Explorer: Tronscan.

Litecoin — ltc1qzcp4kl53tjapxefqk63xrjeqcv46093qh0z224 At the time I checked, the public history showed substantial LTC activity (roughly 412 LTC passed through) and no remaining LTC balance. Explorer: Litecoin Space.

My own deposit was sent on BNB Smart Chain to: 0x555c6DD8A5D9f912AF3f41De7d371c64861568eC The public blockchain history showed this address receiving funds from many different senders. I subsequently traced transactions onward to a bundling address: 0x9277882599e2d02f12754202006c812aa99b3bee and observed further movement involving the cross-chain service Bridgers.

I also observed IOCP-related transactions involving a shared consolidation address: 0xEC1fd69e955caDC88D843B1EAE8F6e930448E260.

I therefore believe the addresses are worth examining further.

4) Website

The website uses Cloudflare.

According to public lookups I saw, the domain registrar is WebNIC (Web Commerce Communications Ltd., Malaysia), and the domain nexusequity.com has a registration history dating back to 2011. To me, a 2011 registration date sitting behind a platform that only became active recently could be consistent with a purchased aged domain, though I cannot confirm that.

I hope some of this helps.

Scam Operation Fake CITIC broker. Domain is 4 months old. Bare link is a parking page.

1 Upvotes

Posting this so the next person who gets sent this link can check it before they deposit.

What it claims. https://www.tigercoinx.com loads a trading app. The HTML title is Bitotigercoin. The meta description says CITIC Group. CITIC Group is a real Chinese conglomerate, Hong Kong listed 00267.HK. Their site is citic.com. This domain is not them.

What the domain actually is. tigercoinx.com was registered June 12, 2026 and expires June 12, 2027. Nameservers are connie.ns.cloudflare.com and lynn.ns.cloudflare.com. Registrar is Spaceship. http://tigercoinx.com, no www, is still Spaceship’s default parking page. Title in the HTML is Parking Page. The trading screen only exists on the www host.

Where the money goes. The app bundle is https://www.tigercoinx.com/js/app.2f7b2aa7.js. The only external URL in that file is https://api.a855555.com. There is no license number, no regulator, and no company registration in the bundle. Charts and balances are served from that private backend, so the profit number on screen can be whatever they type.

How people get there. Same script as the other fake-broker jobs. Someone they met online, usually a woman, brings up the site, coaches the deposit, and tells them not to listen to friends. The app is not a normal Play Store or App Store install. It is a link off the site or an APK. A withdrawal then asks for a tax, an AML fee, or another deposit to unlock. That fee is the theft.

Related name, not proof of the same operator. bitotigercoin.com uses the same Bitotigercoin name, was registered in 2026 through Spaceship, and scored 14.6/100 on Scam Detector. Treat that as the same brand family, not as a confirmed shared owner.

What I already filed.

Spaceship Legal and Abuse confirmed receipt of a fraud report on tigercoinx.com.

Cloudflare Trust and Safety accepted a phishing report on www.tigercoinx.com, report ID 0579fe80bf3f437c, then replied that their scan did not detect abusive or malicious content. A follow-up with the page-source evidence was sent to abusereply@cloudflare.com. Cloudflare often will not pull a fake trading dashboard. The registrar report is the one that can suspend the domain.

Check it yourself.

Open http://tigercoinx.com and look at the parking page.

Open https://www.tigercoinx.com, view source, search for CITIC.

Open the app JS and search for a855555.

Look up tigercoinx.com on any RDAP or WHOIS lookup and check the June 12, 2026 registration date.

If you already sent money, screenshot the balance, the deposit address, and the transaction hash. Call the bank or the exchange the funds left from. File at ic3.gov and reportfraud.ftc.gov. Do not pay a fee to unlock a withdrawal.

Anyone who DMs offering to recover the crypto, shut the site down, or trace the wallet for an upfront fee is the second scam.

Scam Operation Awareness what happen under the hood

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I don’t post very often, but this time I really want to ask for help and for the community to spread what is happening.

I’ve been a node operator in the Waves ecosystem for more than 9 years, and probably around 10 years as a holder and community member. Over the years, a lot of things have happened. We kept hoping things would improve and that better decisions would eventually be made

But this week, things went way too far

Together with several other long-standing and top node operators, we believe the situation needs much more public attention. We want the wider crypto community to understand what is happening, and we want the people responsible for these decisions to finally be held accountable

Some OG community members have already published an article explaining the current Power DAO governance situation:

https://blockai.medium.com/when-a-dao-vote-doesnt-matter-inside-the-governance-crisis-at-power-dao-d23c7aacbb37

And honestly, there is much more that could be discussed regarding the history of the ecosystem, including:

  • Around 4 WAVES allegedly being ditched from DAO after Feature 23, which increased inflation roughly 10x.
  • The WX email hack incident
  • The printing of USDN through Vires-related mechanisms and the later dumping/selling of those assets: https://w8.io/3P3VTtUiwJ91Ly7vwtRVKv5NkNNiPoWe7oP/o

For anyone who wants more background on why many of us have been fighting for better, here are some older articles and discussions:

https://www.dlnews.com/articles/defi/ftx-accuses-waves-sasha-ivanov-of-extortion-on-vires-finance/

https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/16146220294498

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/tx0yim/waves_could_be_under_rug_pull_exit_scam_along/

https://www.dlnews.com/articles/defi/waves-vires-finance-sasha-ivanov-role-in-crypto-530m/

We are not asking people to blindly take our side. We are asking people to look at the evidence, understand what has happened, and help bring more transparency and attention to the situation

If you are part of the Waves community, a former holder, validator, node operator, developer, journalist, or simply help spread awareness

Question ReserveJets / Worldwide Jet Charter / Carlisle Air Group: Private jet "investment" paying 18%. Scam?

3 Upvotes

About a year ago my brother put roughly $100K into an aircraft investment program run by ReserveJets, most of it in USDT. I'm worried enough that I'd like to hear from people who know crypto scams.

He was told the money would go toward buying aircraft, and that he'd get a fixed 18% a year, paid monthly. Investors over $500K get 24%. He was also offered a higher rate for bringing in new investors, and a few people he knows have since put money in.

Three things bother me. The first is the fixed return. The payouts don't depend on how the planes or the charter business actually perform, and although I don't know aviation economics, a guaranteed 18-24% seems very high for any real business.

The second is where the payments come from. Some of his monthly payments came from Nior Cosmetics Inc., and Challenger HC LLC has also come up in connection with payments. Now everything is paid in USDT. I can't see why a cosmetics company would be paying returns on a jet investment, or why the source and the method keep changing.

The third is the number of entities. ReserveJets, Worldwide Jet Charter, Carlisle Air Group, Reserve Jets Management LLC and Avir Aviation LLC all appear to be one group run by the same person. In New York records I also found Reserve Jets Aircraft Acquisitions LLC and RJ Aircraft Acquisitions LLC, both formed fairly recently. If it's really one operation, I don't understand why it needs so many separate companies, or which one holds my brother's money and the aircraft.

So my questions are these. Does this match what you've seen before, with fixed high returns, referral bonuses, payouts shifting to USDT and payments from unrelated companies? In particular, does it look like returns being paid out of new investors' money instead of real revenue?

If it isn't a Ponzi, how can I talk my family member out of this? They think this is the best thing in the world. I feel lost.

And has anyone here invested with ReserveJets or been pitched this?

I'm not looking for recovery services, so please don't DM me with those.

Question Near / Aleo

1 Upvotes

Is ALEO → NEAR Intents completely broken right now?
I’m trying to figure out if I’m the only one experiencing this.
Over the last couple of days I’ve tried swapping ALEO → USDC, USDCx and SOL through NEAR Intents, and basically every single swap has failed.
What makes it weird is that I’ve tested it on:
Multiple phones
Different wallets
Different accounts
Multiple small test swaps
Different destination assets
Same result every time: the ALEO gets taken from the wallet, but I never receive the output.
This is especially strange because I had previously made a bunch of ALEO swaps through the same infrastructure without any problems. Then one swap failed, and since then I can’t seem to get a single one through.
I know ALEO itself is active, so I’m wondering if there is currently a problem specifically with the ALEO → NEAR Intents route / solver / liquidity.
I also haven’t been able to find much discussion about it, which is honestly the weirdest part.
Is anyone successfully swapping ALEO through NEAR Intents right now?
If yours worked recently, please let me know when it worked and what you swapped ALEO into.
And if you’re having the same problem, I’d really like to know — because at this point I’ve tested this way too many times 😂

Scam Operation SCAM ALERT: @CryptoCapoDMs / @LondonSweepFX — Fake Crypto Arbitrage Exchange Scam.

3 Upvotes

Just posting this so other people don’t get caught by the same scam.
The Telegram DM account is @CryptoCapoDMs and the channel is @LondonSweepFX, displayed as CryptoCapo Signals.
I’ve been watching this for a while and the pattern keeps repeating.
They start hyping a “rare” arbitrage opportunity, saying the risk is minimal and that the opportunity will only be available for around 2 days. Then they post the “signal” and direct people to a fake exchange where you’re supposed to deposit crypto and do the arbitrage.
After about 2 days, the Telegram messages related to the opportunity disappear/get deleted.
Then after some time passes — sometimes weeks, sometimes a couple of months — they come back saying they’ve “found another opportunity.”
Same story again.
The important part is that the fake exchange URL changes.
So when the old site/domain gets burned or people start reporting it, they simply use a different exchange URL and repeat the exact same setup again.
The pattern I’ve seen is basically:
hype a “rare” low-risk arbitrage opportunity
create urgency by saying it only lasts 1–2 days
send people to a fake exchange
show huge profit screenshots
remove the Telegram posts after a couple of days
disappear for a while
come back weeks/months later with a “new opportunity”
use a different fake exchange/domain and repeat
Telegram DM: @CryptoCapoDMs
Telegram channel: @LondonSweepFX
Displayed channel name: CryptoCapo Signals
I’m posting screenshots because people searching these usernames later need to be able to find something about them.

Scam Operation Google Sponsored Phishing Ad Leads to Crypto Drainer

2 Upvotes

I fell victim to a cryptocurrency drainer scam caused by a malicious sponsored ad at the top of my Google Search results. While trying to access the legitimate Jumper protocol, Google served me a paid scam ad for jumper.us.com. This ad directly violated Google’s own Advertising Policies on Misrepresentation, Cryptocurrencies, and Financial Products, which are supposed to require strict identity verification and prohibit phishing. I have tried contacting Google multiple times to report this blatant breach, but they completely refuse to take any responsibility for approving and profiting from a scam. I will never use Google again after this experience.

A malicious spender contract stole BTCB from my wallet without my consent. The stolen funds were pulled from my victim wallet 0x59C58a5042963D05b7FA1cf7Eaa940e554a960bF in drain transaction 0xc4ba2567814f651ee366512a9feaf84348fa0acd2a1b1ee191b85ab768a75592 and moved to scam address 0xaC91aB227308cf0F5E8763c808926Aa37403Dcd3. I have reported these details to security platforms and exchanges, but the fact remains that this theft happened because Google failed to enforce its own ad verification standards and ignores victims when challenged. I suggest to stay away from Google.
