The website is a scam, they don't make real investigation before flagging a site scam.

They access company data and publish it on their site without any authorization. They lie about companies maybe to subscribe companies in their system. They proclaim themselves anti-fraud when scamadviser are the first scammers! Small business that are doing right, they show on their website that is a scam, which they dont even know any thing. Such a trash business that just want to take advantage over who is working hard.

The website given a safe score of ***** by Scamadviser crashed within two months of its establishment. However, some sites and platforms that were given a score below ***** still stand. I have personally lost money to two platforms rated ***** by Scamadviser. Scamadviser is not reliable for me. Scamadviser, go do your homework properly. Thank you.

COMPANY NAME : CRYTOCAP WEBSITE : ***** This is the method this company uses to Scam customers. This is a Crypto company that uses investments to do mining at a faster rate so that profits can be made METHOD They contact you via a prominent business leader in your area that is a trusted figure, but they create a false profile on Facebook / Twitter or Instagram. They use Google Translate to communicate with you in your own language. Then an account manager is allocated to you and further communication happens via Whatsapp. DEPOSITS & WITHDRAWALS A minimum deposit is needed - in this case 500 dollars. The options on the website is to use Paypal. Bitcoin Wallet - Luno or ***** Bank Transfer. They don't tell you the following Paypal doesn't work on their website, neither do paypal have them on their system. You can only withdraw the way money was placed in your account. If you use a local bank, they will send you the details of a local person at Absa (In South Africa for instance) and then the money will reflect in your account. They know that most people will test the website and therefore, if you make a quick withdrawal to test the system, they will pay you back a portion of your money and then you are fooled that the system is legal. So then you leave the rest of the money with them. The amount will then slowly increase, day by day, they will then send you messages saying that you must increase your account to Bronze as the program is more stable, so then you pay in more money, upgrade it to 2000 dollars and then again, slowly but surely, the amount will increase and then all of the sudden it goes up to 45 000 dollars. You will then receive an email - stating that the amount in your account is too much and you have to upgrade your account to get the profit. They can't use the profit to pay for that, you must pay in more money from your own account and then the fun starts. You will most likely not be able to pay in the 4000 dollars that they require to unlock your 45 000 dollars and then you are stuck. They, without asking you will then pay the money to a fake bank, called citizn bank and once you try and withdraw it, they will require a COT code to be able to withdraw... If you are not an American Citizen, you can't open an account in America and then you are stuck. You then ask them if you can rather open up another 500 dollar account to then make the money to get enough to pay that and then open an account via a bitcoin wallet, thinking that the profit will then be paid out to your wallet and then you can pay what they want and get the money. So you start with the process again and get to a point where you can withdraw the money needed for all the above. You tell yourself that there will be more fees needed, but they assure you that all is good. When it gets to that point, they ask you for three fees to unlock the profit you made with your second account. They then (without warning you) block your account due to the fact that you used the same ID for both accounts (even if you asked for advice to open new accounts, they don't tell you the accounts are linked) Then you start from the beginning again. CONCLUSION This is a Ponzi Scheme. They look for reasons not to pay you your profit. What they state on the website is not what happens when it comes to withdrawals. They will blame you for any small mistake made on the website, like typing in something like a confirmation, making a mistake, and even if you correct it, they will penalize you and they can't fix anything without being paid. It would be better to take the money that you want to invest, throw it in the water because then, the value of the water will increase.

Although my experience is very small, but when I at first met swindlers on one site, Scamadviser helped me to know enough information about them. I think, that Scamadviser is safe and useful. Yes, there are estimates and they can be approximate or even wrong, but we're warned, that method of assessment is not perfect. All the same, - we need the information about swindlers to be collected in one place.

We read the negative highlights of the company that we currently have our TV service with, and they were inaccurate. Reporting false information damages any companies reputation. For this reason we were led to leave a positive review for the company on the scamadvisor site. Based on this experience it would be difficult to trust the information coming from this site.

They are helping report scammers company, we need a safe website on Google not company scammers taking our money
Helpful
the many scammers out there need to be stopped, or at least made more difficult for them to rip off other people's hard-earned money. Scamadviser is a useful option. Although, of course, competitors can also make their competitors look bad in order to look better themselves.
