Hey, I’m a software developer. Back in the day, it was tough to create fully functional trading websites. But now, with AI, it’s super easy to build all kinds of trading websites, which is why there are so many fake ones out there that look legit.
Just today, I made a fully functional trading site in less than an hour. It had real trading data and even let users send money to a profile.
My tip? Don’t trust just any website. Always research before handing over your money.

Just don’t invest in crypto. It’s too risky.

Let me explain the fake crypto wallet scam.
Scammers create fake crypto websites and apps, convincing people to send their money into these platforms. Some start through romance scams or messages claiming you’ve won crypto. They direct people to buy crypto on a legit site and then tell them to transfer it to their website, which they control.
The scammers make it look like you’ve got money in their wallet, but you never get it back. They often ask for more money, saying you need to invest more before you can withdraw.
If you fall victim, you can report the scammer’s wallet address on BitcoinAbuse or Etherscan.

It really depends on how knowledgeable you are about it.

Regardless of your skill, crypto wastes tons of energy and is terrible for the environment.
@JAMESZ
Do you know how much energy a single Visa transaction uses or how outdated banking systems are? Crypto is way more energy-efficient, especially with systems like Proof of Stake. Most crypto coins aren’t even mineable and use minimal electricity.

Take your crypto nonsense somewhere else.

You’re going to get scammed, just wait.

You’re the one being scammed. I’ve been doing crypto for years, and I use different coins for different things every day. I’ve never been scammed in over 6 years.
I challenge anyone to explain how Bitcoin or Ethereum is a scam. And why are big companies like Blackrock investing billions into it if it’s a scam? Jealous much?

I’ve made some decent money in crypto too, but yeah, it’s not for everyone.
Nice project though, thanks for sharing!
@benjohnson
Exactly, crypto and forex are very volatile markets, and it’s not something to dive into without the right education.
People who say crypto isn’t real probably don’t understand how banks make their money.
So, you’re saying you made a fake crypto site like all the other scammers out there? What’s the point of this post?

My point is, just because a site works, doesn’t mean it’s trustworthy.
@Sadie
I get what you mean. I’ve seen some well-done scam sites myself. They look so convincing that it’s no wonder people fall for them.
But if you just do a simple whois.com check and see the site was registered recently, that’s usually a big red flag.
@benjohnson
Exactly. People trust a site just because it looks polished. But there’s more to look into.

Some of these scam sites aren’t even fully functional, with broken links and all. But people still fall for them because the homepage looks good enough.
I like to explore them for educational purposes. Just today, I ended up chatting with someone trying to scam me through a fake mining website.
@Sadie
Oh, gotcha.

Oh, gotcha.
People used to trust a company just because they had a working website. Now, anyone can throw up a fake site with no regulation. It’s up to us to dig deeper and not rely on appearances.
@Sadie
Yeah, if you’ve been around here long enough, you know there are thousands of fake crypto sites out there. They’re posted all the time.
