Crypto Scam Exchange Watchlist: High-Risk Trading Platforms to Avoid
Author: BYRP (Blockchain & Yield Risk Publications)
Last Updated: 2026
Overview
Fake cryptocurrency exchanges continue to cause significant financial losses worldwide. These platforms often appear legitimate, allow users to deposit funds, display trading activity or profits, and then block withdrawals, freeze accounts, or demand additional payments before releasing funds.
This page serves as ForteClaim’s official Crypto Scam Exchange Watchlist — a centralized reference point for platforms that have been flagged for high-risk behavior during scam investigations and victim-reported cases reviewed by our research team.
This watchlist is maintained to help users identify risk early and avoid preventable losses.
How to Use This Watchlist
If a platform appears on this page, it does not automatically mean every user will experience the same outcome. However, inclusion indicates that the platform has been associated with one or more serious warning signs, such as:
- Withdrawal restrictions
- Advance-fee demands
- Simulated trading activity
- Account freezes after deposits
- Lack of verifiable regulation
If you recognize a platform listed here, pause immediately and verify before sending funds.
Common Scam Patterns Observed
Across platforms included in this watchlist, ForteClaim consistently observes the following patterns:
- Deposits are accepted without issue
- Account balances increase or show profits
- Withdrawals trigger delays, reviews, or blocks
- Users are asked to pay fees to “unlock” funds
- Support becomes slow or unresponsive
Legitimate crypto exchanges do not require users to send new money to access their own funds.
Crypto Scam Exchange Watchlist (Ongoing)
This list is actively maintained and expanded as new platforms emerge.
