About This Bitcoin Scammer List
The table below is a live, searchable database of websites identified as Bitcoin and cryptocurrency scams. Each entry includes a risk score, detection date, and a summary of the evidence that triggered the listing. You can sort by risk score, search by domain name, or filter by scam type.
Bitcoin fraud has grown into a multi-billion-dollar problem. In 2025 alone, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center reported over $5.8 billion in cryptocurrency-related fraud losses in the United States. The FTC warns that crypto is the most common payment method in investment scams. Scammers operate fake exchanges, fraudulent investment platforms, phishing sites that clone legitimate wallets, and Ponzi schemes that promise unrealistic returns.

- Automated scanning — Our crawler checks domain age, WHOIS privacy, TLS certificate anomalies, and hosting patterns commonly associated with fraud.
- On-chain analysis — Wallet addresses linked to reported scams are cross-referenced against known fraud clusters.
- Community reports — Users submit suspicious URLs through our scanner, and confirmed threats are added to the database.

Staying Safe with Bitcoin
Never send cryptocurrency to a platform you have not independently verified. Check for regulatory registration with the SEC or CFTC, read independent reviews, and be skeptical of any site promising guaranteed returns. Legitimate exchanges will never ask you to send Bitcoin to "verify" your wallet. If you have already been victimized, follow our guide to reporting crypto scams.
