Crypto Scam Exchange Watchlist: Platforms Flagged for Withdrawal Blocks and High-Risk Behavior
Author: BYRP (Blockchain & Yield Risk Publications)
Published by: ForteClaim
Overview
The number of fake cryptocurrency exchanges continues to rise, with new domains appearing weekly. Many of these platforms present themselves as legitimate trading services but follow a similar pattern: users can deposit funds, see balances grow, and even execute trades—yet withdrawals are delayed, restricted, or blocked entirely.
This article presents a compiled watchlist of crypto trading platforms that have been flagged for high-risk behavior, including withdrawal barriers, advance-fee demands, and simulated trading activity. The platforms listed below have appeared repeatedly across scam investigations and victim reports reviewed by ForteClaim.
This list is provided for public awareness and risk prevention.
Common Characteristics Observed Across These Platforms
Platforms on this watchlist frequently exhibit one or more of the following behaviors:
- Users unable to withdraw funds
- Accounts frozen after profit is shown
- Requests for “tax,” “liquidity,” or “verification” fees
- Private or referral-based onboarding
- No verifiable regulatory licensing
- No transparent ownership or company registration
These indicators are consistent with fake exchange scams and pig-butchering investment schemes.

Why These Platforms Are Dangerous
In most cases reviewed, victims report the same outcome:
- Funds are deposited successfully
- Account balances appear to grow
- Withdrawals trigger delays or restrictions
- Additional payments are demanded
- Withdrawals never complete
This structure is intentional. The platform controls the interface, balances, and withdrawal rules.
Legitimate exchanges do not require users to send new money to access their own funds.
What To Do If You Recognize a Platform Here
If you have interacted with any platform on this list:
- Stop sending funds immediately
- Do not pay withdrawal or “unlock” fees
- Preserve all evidence (wallet addresses, TXIDs, screenshots, communications)
- Document withdrawal attempts and responses
- Report the incident to appropriate authorities
Acting quickly can prevent further losses.

Final Note
Crypto scams evolve quickly, but their structures repeat.
If a platform:
- restricts withdrawals

It should be treated as high risk.
