𝐃𝐚𝐲 2 𝐨𝐟 "12 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒓𝒚𝒑𝒕𝒐-𝒎𝒂𝒔" 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🎄 🎅 For the second day of this series we have address "UQDlWNJ8tIuSGPC7CO-5qlI3YFdAbXvNsiv7hmpLOwt29X_A" on the TON Network (Layer 1 developed by Nikolai Durov, also known for his role in creating the messaging platform, Telegram Messenger). This address along with others on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain Innovation, Ripple, Litecoin Foundation & TRON DAO networks are being used as part of a crypto investment scam called FUWEX[.]com. The FUWEX platform, which design-wise mirrors other scams we've worked on, offers crypto staking, daily rewards, trading and NFTs - none of which actually do what advertised, but have a front end designed to get you to deposit crypto to the newly-created, unique address they assign to your user. Since each user is generated a new-unique address, tracking this scam can be tricky, but our team has been able to track withdrawals to OKX Exchange. It is also important to note that the scammers have done a lot of work to make it ultra-easy to buy cryptocurrencies via API on/off ramps, which they have integrated directly into their tool - allowing victims to easily buy crypto with a credit card and it deposited onto the address the platform has created as destination address for the victim. We have informed several of these on/off ramps APIs in the hopes they can block the API token key associated, only Sardine acknowledged our proactive and voluntary disclosure. Attached a screenshot from our team's access to the fake investment platform. This is a direct attribution collected by our team. Whenever the attribution is flagged as direct, it means we have proof of where we obtained the information from and it was not generated using any AI tagging, Address Clustering or machine learning inferences.
