Scam Operation Suspected crypto scam—does this malformed withdrawal address mean anything?

• Upvotes

Hey guys

I noticed a discrepancy involving this string:
810x4631034A62D2Eed10ac587b29c1D1780769B03
Which was associated with an Ethereum withdrawal, but it doesn’t appear to be a valid Ethereum address.

Does this string resemble any valid cryptocurrency address format, or is it simply malformed? How can I find out?

Thanks

Scam Operation warning escoin.ee ELG

2 Upvotes

⚠️ Ne déposez aucune cryptomonnaie sur cette plateforme tant que sa légitimité n’a pas été vérifiée de manière indépendante. Le 18 octobre 2026, j’ai transféré des ELG depuis mon portefeuille Bitvavo sur cette plateforme. Lorsque j’ai voulu retirer mes fonds, on m’a demandé de compléter une vérification d’identité. J’ai soumis les documents demandés, mais ma vérification reste bloquée sur « Under review ». J’ai contacté le support deux fois et je n’ai reçu aucune réponse. De plus, le site se présente comme une démonstration du logiciel Escoin Exchange et indique que certaines activités de trading sont simulées. Ces faits suscitent de sérieuses inquiétudes. Je ne peux pas encore confirmer ce qu’il est arrivé à mes fonds, mais je recommande vivement à chacun de faire preuve de prudence et de ne pas effectuer de dépôts tant que ces préoccupations ne sont pas clarifiées. Si vous avez utilisé cette plateforme, avez-vous réussi à retirer vos fonds ? Merci de partager cette alerte pour aider d’autres utilisateurs de cryptomonnaies.

Scam Operation Huge red flags about Lune.Fi

5 Upvotes

A friend did a deep dive about Lune[dot]Fi and it seems very shady. He did a detailed write up here: https://socialitespaces.com/lune-fi-review-apr-red-flags/

They (LuneFi) claim annual returns of of 29.5% on stablecoins (if you "fix" your deposit for 1 year). Lowest APR they give is 18%. Seems shady AF

One their own page, they have 2 claims, one says withdrawal after 90 days (whatever that means?) another saying after 24 hours

Has anyone actually used them? All positive trustpilot reviews are from within 2-3 months of each other

Scam Operation Serious Trust Issues and Scam behaviour of Bitunix 🚨‼️

0 Upvotes

I am publicly raising serious concerns about Bitunix after my withdrawals were suspended and my assets became inaccessible without what I consider to be a clear and satisfactory explanation.

Bitunix UID: 865739***

I believe this situation raises serious questions about Bitunix’s transparency, accountability, and treatment of its customers. I want the company to explain why my assets are being held and what exactly must happen for my funds to be released.

🚨 My concerns about Bitunix Please address:

  1. Unexplained restriction of customer assets
    My withdrawals have been suspended, preventing me from accessing my own assets. If an exchange restricts a customer's funds, it should provide a meaningful explanation and a clear process for resolving the restriction.

  2. Potentially unfair or misleading treatment of customers
    When users deposit funds expecting to be able to withdraw them under the platform's terms, unexplained restrictions can raise concerns about whether the service is being operated transparently and fairly. I want Bitunix to explain why my situation has occurred.

  3. Lack of meaningful accountability
    Customers should not have to repeatedly chase customer support simply to obtain an understandable explanation about their own money. Generic responses without a concrete resolution or a reasonable timeline are unacceptable.

  4. Concerns about prolonged withdrawal restrictions
    Public online complaints describe other users experiencing frozen accounts, lengthy reviews, repeated verification requests, and inaccessible funds. These reports do not prove fraud, but they raise legitimate questions that Bitunix should address transparently.

  5. Questions about potentially abusive account restrictions
    If an exchange can suspend withdrawals, keep assets inaccessible, and provide no clear explanation or resolution timeline, customers have reason to question whether its account-restriction procedures adequately protect their interests.
    I am not claiming that every restriction is fraudulent. Exchanges may have legitimate security and compliance obligations. However, those obligations should not become an excuse for indefinite uncertainty or a lack of meaningful communication.

Held my funds since August 31st,2026 given date of 30th September despite having Full KYC verification and later extended to October 31st without any clear explanation makes users doubt on your reliability and trustworthiness with our hard earned funds.

HOW DO WE TRUST YOU WITH OUR HARD EARNED FUNDS?

What I demand from Bitunix
A specific written explanation for my withdrawal suspension.
Identification of the applicable policy or contractual provision behind the restriction.
A clear status update and a reasonable deadline for resolving my case.
The release of my eligible assets without unjustified delay.
A proper investigation into my complaint by someone with the authority to resolve it.
If Bitunix believes I have violated a rule, I expect it to explain the issue and provide a fair opportunity to address it through the appropriate process.

*A warning to other crypto users*
I urge other users to exercise caution, research withdrawal and account-restriction policies carefully, preserve their transaction records, and avoid keeping more funds on any exchange than they can reasonably afford to have temporarily inaccessible.

My experience has left me seriously concerned about Bitunix's handling of customer assets. I believe these circumstances warrant scrutiny, a transparent explanation, and a prompt resolution.

I am asking Bitunix to respond publicly and address the substance of these concerns rather than provide another generic support response.
If other users have faced similar restrictions, please share your experiences and explain whether your funds were eventually released.
I want my assets and this matter resolved fairly. I also want accountability and transparency so that other customers do not have to face the same uncertainty.

Scam Operation Warning about DEXGETO crypto arbitrage

1 Upvotes

​

Be careful with DEXGETO (dexgeto.com). The platform is promoted through videos showing price differences between Binance and DEXGETO, making arbitrage profits look easy.

The red flag comes when users try to withdraw their funds and are told to deposit an additional $200 for AML verification before withdrawals are allowed.

Demanding a new deposit to unlock existing funds is a major warning sign commonly associated with crypto scams. Don't risk your money chasing advertised profits, and never send more crypto just to release a withdrawal.

Has anyone else come across this platform?

Scam Operation "CrypFine" is a SCAM EXCHANGE!!!

0 Upvotes

I, like many others, trusted this exchange because they are officially partnered with CoinOne, which is one of the biggest exchanges in Korea.

Our trust was betrayed when they started freezing our assets and stealing our money. In my case, they rejected my withdrawal request, and told me I cannot withdraw until I let them take away 1100 of my 2000 USDT balance.

They refuse to explain why. They say it's a violation of their terms, but gave no further detail. They also said "this is the final outcome" and "I cannot fight the decision".

So here I am. 2000 USDT frozen. They say they'll let me withdraw the rest in 2 weeks if I let them steal 1100. I am pursuing legal actions, and if anyone is going through a similar situation, let me know.

TLDR; DO NOT USE "CRYPFINE"

Scam Operation Trezor SCAM from data breach

6 Upvotes

So I was one of the unfortunate people to have my trezor info leaked when I purchased directly from the site. Unfortunately this has resulted in phone calls and phishing emails from what appears to be Gmail, also phone calls to reset Gmail. This is how I believe they get access to the Gmail account by selecting the link. Then they would be able to send and phishing emails showing it is directly from help@trezor.io. They then call you acting like they are from trezor and claiming that your funds are being “mitigated” to another address and the only way to stop this process is to follow their links. Inevitably this will end up sending you to a page to enter your seed phrase. It goes without saying never to do this but I just wanted to post this to show that the information leaked from the trezor data breach from shipmonk actively being used to hack and scam people. This just happened to me. Be careful out there.

Information Investment App

6 Upvotes

For context, the investment app has been introduce by our aunt, me and my family decided to invest because we have seen the results manifest by our own aunt and in our other relatives (they did withdraw more than 1k usd a month). The investment is not that it earns fast but steady, it has Google authenticator, ID requirements and withdrawals goes through apps like bitget, kucoin, binance, coins.ph. The thing is, the app requires members to level app to earn a bit of percentage and get the level up reward, and its more like the app will be the one who will do the buy and sell of money thelat we have invested. It seems really legit, we have been on this app since February my mom started first, she invested with 500usd, and after a while my mom got to withdraw a total of 1500usd (i dont how much in php, but it p2p, 1usd=62.35php). And since it could withdraw that big amount with the help of members under you, we also join; me, my ate and my father. In my experience I did withdraw a total of 100usd and my ate 50usd, in our accounts my father invested to me 355 usd, to his account 200usd, and to my ate is 55usd. Since we have become greedy and got to experience to withdraw once a 1k usd, my father encouraged a lot of people from his work, my mom to her church mates and friends, my ate to her best friends, and all has been invested starting money like 55usd funded by my father, all in all he invested more than 3000usd. Recently just last week of September, the admins of the app message us on the official gc in tg, that they will upgrade the app, and they cannot proceed all the withdrawal request of the money, and will resume to October 2, but unexpectedly they keep delaying it with the announcements that they change the systems network network in p2p October2, have tax audits October 9, has delays October 13, and got restricted October 16. During these times we have been told to keep being patient, calm and reassure our members under us, but you know it's seems they just keep delaying it so that people won't unite and protest against them. I feel dreaded and bad about the new members that joined just recently, and has invest a big money, aside from the starting usd given by our father. If the money would not be withdraw, we would receive hate and disappointment from betraying their trust. And the relationships within us will be strained. I really pray and hope we could withdraw one last time because really it seems the app giving a 1000usd compensation seems to be fake. What we really need is that we are allow to withdraw the money we have requested from them that we have click to create order everyday. If this is a scam, can you all give advice how to report this type of schemes? Even though the capture rate of these manipulator people is absolutely rare. Hoping the relationships between us all people who have invested will not be as that bad HUHUHU. Also my relatives have been too affected, it's just that the difference they had already get their capital because they have been in the app for more than a year and us just got in on February.

Scam Operation Crypto dot com "Security Breach" Scam

3 Upvotes

Just an FYI for users or those searching online frantically while dealing with a suspicious call. This has happened to me twice and the last one concerned me with how much information these malicious people have.

There's a number out of CA 415-698-7158 that has called several times. At first it's an automated message claiming to be Cryptodotcom security asking if I tried to log in from some third world county. This time they said it was from Turkey. I typically press 1 just to waste their time. "If this was not you, press 1 and our security team will call you".

Then someone who is surprisingly well-spoken will call from the number above. No foreign accent. They'll say something like "someone tried to change your email on file to 'mohammad143@yahoo.com', was this you?" Obviously users freak out, and say no. "Someone took all your information and made a fake ID and tried to get control of your account, but we flagged it because the ID was from Turkey (lol okay, seems like a critical oversight if you're that sophisticated of a thief, to make your ID in Turkey).

Then here's the part that made me super uncomfortable. They then recited my SSN, my email, and my home address back to me.... They had my f'ing SSN and the knowledge that I have a CDC account...
Their next step is to send an email with a link on it, presumably to do something malicious. I don't know what happens from there because I've never clicked, I just give them the runaround. The email looks identical to other official emails from Cryptodotcom, though, so be aware. Their excuses will be something like:
-"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just the security team trying to help you"

-"Because this is a fraudulent matter, time is of the essence. If you don't act now we will freeze your account."

-"If you take no action we will have to freeze the account and remove the assets"

They try to push you super hard to "authenticate" yourself through this link in the email.

none of this is true, but because they had my SSN this time, it had me extremely curious. Regardless, if this has happened to you, too, report their confirmation email to reportphishing@crypto.com.

Scam Operation *WARNING* NEW RCMP Impersonation Scam

0 Upvotes

I just got a call from a No Caller ID pretending to be the RCMP. They said that they arrested a guy who had over 50,000 victims information on a phone in a cybercrime operation that happened somewhere in Ontario not to long ago and that my name with my personal information has been leaked.

They claim to have personal information and advised me to change all my passwords for emails, banking and crypto.

From someone who has worked in Crypto in the past, this doesn't sound legit at all. After talking to him for a bit and telling him the exchanges I've used in the past (No personal information given). He said to just change it and let the conversation naturally end.

Less than 2 minutes later a "representative" from the a crypto exchange that I've mentioned called. The guy sounded the same. British, maybe in his late 20's or 30's called. As soon as I heard the voice and the immiedate callback, it was fishy.

I tried calling the RCMP to check out this officer: Adam Taylor. I've done a public look on Google to see that it is a real officer but doesn't seem to work in the cybercrimes unit.

The information he shared:
- Case Number: CRN7861
- Officer Adam Taylor - Badge: 7743****

I've seen other posts on reddit regarding this in the UK and Australia with the same Case Number and now in Canada.

Beware of these scams coming through.

Scam Operation Hyperliquid wallet drained after running sketchy .exe

0 Upvotes

I ran a sketchy setup.exe on my pc (yes, I know) that contained infostealing malware. Windows Defender instantly began sending notifications.

A few hours later my hyperliquid wallet containing 410 USDC was completely drained (and my discord was overtaken and sending spam messages to all my contacts).

I assume they captured the active session cookie/token from my Chrome browser and used that to duplicate my running discord and hyperliquid session.

I am a bit amazed how can just initiate withdrawals on Hyperliquid without any form of confirmation needed from me.

The 410 USDC is now sitting in a random wallet: https://etherscan.io/address/0xa77db8017f1cd99b13f12d046e109eb5fee14316#crosschaintx

Hash:
0x8d3154e0d136f5128eab04466e264902023600c66c3a13e430fa0033903acefd

I consider this money lost, but was wondering if anyone has interesting insights as to how this has happened.
