Fake Sample Exchange staff are calling
Customers report callers posing as support staff and asking them to move funds to a so-called safe wallet. A real exchange will not ask that.
Fictional Yield users report blocked funds
Users say they cannot withdraw, and that the site demands a tax payment first. That is a common sign of an investment scam.
What to do now
- Stop sending money, including fees or taxes the site demands.
- Save messages, addresses and transaction records.
- Report it to the authorities in your country.
- Ignore anyone who offers to recover the money for a fee.
Are you affected?
You may be affected if you deposited through the site, particularly after being introduced by someone you met online.
Ignore messages offering a fix, a refund or a recovery service. Never share your seed phrase or private key.
Confirmed
- The site’s registration details are hidden, and we could not identify a licensed operator.
Claimed
- Users report total losses of about $800K.
- Users say the site asked for extra fees to unlock withdrawals.
Unknown
- Who runs the site.
- How many people deposited.
What happened
Users started comparing notes in a public forum in October, after several said withdrawals had stalled.
