Overview
oaktree-ex.com has been reported as part of a pig-butchering style cryptocurrency investment scam involving an online group operating under the name “CO6 Dr. Johnson’s Investment Education Institute.” Victims report being recruited into the group, provided with cryptocurrency trading “education” and signals, and then directed to deposit funds on oaktree-ex.com, where account balances appeared to grow but were ultimately controlled by the platform.
This review documents how the scheme operates, the role of the education group, and the risks associated with the platform.
How the Scam Began: Investment “Education” Group
According to the reported case, the victim was added to or joined an online group called:
“CO6 Dr. Johnson’s Investment Education Institute.”
The group claimed to:
- provide professional cryptocurrency education
- share daily or frequent trading signals
- guide members on profitable crypto trades
- operate as an educational or mentoring institute
Members were encouraged to trust the group’s signals and follow instructions precisely — a common tactic used to build authority and dependency.
Direction to Oaktree-ex.com
After trust was established, the group instructed the victim to open an account on a crypto trading platform operating at:
oaktree-ex.com
The platform was presented as:
- the preferred or exclusive trading venue
- compatible with the group’s signals
- capable of generating high returns when used correctly
The victim followed the instructions and began depositing funds.
Simulated Profits and Escalating Deposits
Once funds were deposited on oaktree-ex.com:
- the account balance appeared to grow
- trades seemed consistently profitable
- the group encouraged larger deposits to “maximize returns”
- confidence increased as profits were displayed on the dashboard
This illusion of profitability is a defining feature of fake exchange and pig-butchering scams, where trading results are simulated within a controlled environment rather than executed on real markets.
Pig-Butchering Scam Pattern Identified
The structure of this case aligns closely with documented pig-butchering crypto scams, which typically involve:
- Authority building (education institute, professor figure, signals)
- Trust reinforcement through guided trading
- Redirection to a controlled trading platform
