Cryptocurrency Crime

Cryptocurrency Fraud

A fake investment, wallet, or trading app takes your crypto or your rupees, then disappears.

How Scam Works?

This chat is made up. It shows how the trick usually sounds. It is not a real message. Do not reply, and do not send money.

  1. Scam message

    Today’s trade made 18%. Withdraw any time. Send ₹10,000 to the desk wallet to join the next one.

  2. What you might say

    I want last week’s money out first.

  3. Scam message

    Withdrawal is on hold until the VIP fee is paid. The group cannot wait.

No real investment can promise a sure profit. Do not pay a fee to withdraw your own money.

  1. 01

    The group shows profits

    Screenshots and cheerful messages make the profit look normal.

  2. 02

    Your money goes to their wallet

    They tell you the app is special. You may not be able to find it outside their link.

  3. 03

    Getting out costs more

    A tax or upgrade fee appears when you ask for your money. That fee does not unlock it.
