Currently, fraudulent marketing campaigns around Bitcoin, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies are sweeping the Internet like viruses in a global pandemic. The sole purpose of these campaigns is to generate a stream of constantly new victims for illegal investment offers. CySEC-regulated investment firms are the best clients for the organizers and operators of these campaigns. The websites we uncover typically disappeared soon after. However, too many scam campaigns like Bitcoin Profit or Bitcoin Prime run on too many bad websites. Hence, we start our marketing campaign blacklist.
Fraud facilitators
The operators of these fraud campaigns, like the payment processors participating in the scams and the illegal activities, are fraud facilitators and, as such, are also considered accomplices under criminal law. Investment fraud, unfortunately, has many participants. The operators of the fraudulent campaigns systematically manipulate ratings via rating and review platforms such as Trustpilot, thereby deceiving their potential victims.
Find below some blacklisted campaigns, domains, and remarks. You can find the full and continuously updated list on our Marketing Campaign Blacklist.
Many of the apps used for the fraudulent Bitcoin campaigns come from the workshop of India’s Nebel Infotech LLP (see Google Playstore here).
Do not fall for these fraudulent campaigns. If you spot one of the above-listed or find a new one, please report it to us. Together we can fight those fraudsters.
We will continuously update the blacklist with newly discovered campaigns, domains and providers.
