Is BTCCrest.com A Scam?

In our ongoing efforts to prevent investment fraud, Cybertrace has investigated BTCCrest.com operating as BTC Crest after a warning from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The FCA Warning

The FCA has identified BTCCrest.com as a potentially fraudulent trading website. The agency warns that this firm is offering financial services without the proper authorisation to do so, which is a significant red flag for potential investors.

Firm Details:

Name: BTCCrest

Website: www.btccrest.com

Cybertrace’s Investigation

Among other factors, our cyber investigators found several concerning signs including the fact that the website’s domain registration details are hidden, often a tactic to avoid accountability. Also, the website’s content and promotional strategies resemble those of known scam websites.

In addition, Cybertrace tested the btccrest.com domain on the prototype of ScamID v2. where the below results were observed indicating strong links with other known scam websites. ScamID v2. is the next generation in scam website detection and goes many layers deeper than traditional scam detectors. Further information on the upcoming release of ScamID can be found here: ScamID v2.
