It's crypneteasy.com" This is just a small sample of the implausible promises that curious people find on the Crypneteasy website. Not one of these full-bodied assurances by Crypneteasy has been kept. Unpleasantly, the questionable business conduct rather provides for disappointed investors and miserable experiences!

Crypneteasy: Hide-and-seek game with the domain entry!
Remarkable for the business practices of the Crypneteasy makers is that the website does not contain any imprint with complete information about the legally responsible operators of the website. If one looks at the corresponding domain data of the website www.crypneteasy.com, one finds out that the website was registered on 04/06/2021 and that the real operators are hiding behind the Icelandic anonymization service Withheld for Privacy ehf.

Crypneteasy: Who is behind it?
Answering this question will be rather difficult for many investors, as the Crypneteasy makers do everything they can to conceal the true circumstances. However, this is not uncommon, as the perpetrators often operate various of these websites with the supposedly same business model and quickly put them online, but also shut them down again just as quickly. In many cases, the top-level domain is also frequently changed, possibly also in order to deceive the financial supervisory and law enforcement authorities. And who is the operator? The website www.crypneteasy.com provides the following information: "Company Name: Rogers Company EOOD Registration nr: 206439262 Registered address: Hazhdi Dimitar Street, 10, Municipality of Ruse, village of Semerdzhievo 7072, Bulgaria". However, the address given is an inhabited area in the village of Semerdzhievo in Bulgaria. There is nothing to indicate that the Crypneteasy can be found here.  A worldwide search for Rogers Company EOOD in the relevant registers leads to no result and makes it clear that this is a pure fantasy product.

Crypneteasy: The customer acquisition of the investment fraudsters
Here, the same procedure can be found again and again: In order to gain new customers, the offers of Crypneteasy are promoted in all conceivable media and channels. For example, advertisements are placed in social media, such as Facebook. It is not uncommon for the offers to be false claims. To increase the deception, they upload image films on Youtube or Vimeo, in which interested traders are convinced with invented references. Here, supposed celebrities report about their experiences with online trading and cryptocurrencies, often with the erroneous reference to the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen". With the same goal, a mostly aggressive affiliate program is started to give others incentive to beat the advertising drum for Crypneteasy.

Crypneteasy: criminal business practices!
As soon as the customer has registered on the trading platform, he receives calls from alleged financial brokers who like to refer to their years of experience and their satisfied customer base. In many cases, however, the makers of this business model are fraudsters, against whom the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) also warn. Usually the investors start with a small sum as employment. Beforehand, investors are also often motivated to install remote maintenance software, such as Anydesk or Teamviewer on their computers, so that assistance can supposedly be provided with the first steps. In many cases, the computer is subsequently manipulated and unwanted transactions are carried out. In the process, the investment fraudsters often also gain access to their victims' online banking. What is particularly criminal, however, is when supposed profits are displayed on the trading platform in order to entice the customer to place further high stakes. In some cases, even small sums are returned in order to lull investors into a sense of security. Who then does not want to increase the stakes further? But what happens next?

Crypneteasy: Repayment of the money is tied to conditions
However, an exit is then usually no longer possible, rather a repayment of the money is linked to further deposits. This is where the employees come in, claiming alleged tax debts and commission payments. These would have to be settled first, then it would come to the disbursement of the allegedly obtained profits. For this purpose, tax and commission invoices are sent to the investors, which are often decorated with fake coats of arms and, of course, have to be paid urgently. However, it is never possible to offset these payments against the supposedly achieved profits. If one refuses to make these further payments, the supposed profits are often turned into losses and the customer is harmed to the maximum. However, this is usually not the end of the horror, but the investors are often permanently confronted with calls from other dubious providers, which indicates that the contact details of the investors are further traded among the investment scammers. In the end, the "saving angel" regularly comes forward, claiming to have uncovered the whole scam. He impresses with his insider knowledge. No wonder, since he is part of the fraudster gang. The next rip-off! And of course, the "saving angel" also wants a small fee - in advance!

Crypneteasy: scheme of investment fraud?
There is no legitimization of the Crypneteasy trading platform. Crypneteasy lacks regulation by a recognized European supervisory authority, such as the English Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySec), which is frequently used by brokers. Likewise, there is no approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (finma) or the Financial Market Authority (FMA) of Austria, which is responsible for Switzerland. For this, there is a warning from the FCA dated 08.11.2021. It is also obvious that Crypneteasy is a scheme of capital investment fraud. All investors harmed by Crypneteasy should be advised to consult an investment fraud lawyer immediately.

Crypneteasy: where do the fraudsters operate?

Going through the list of regulators is advisable before making any financial commitment to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of investment fraud.

Fortunately, the circumstances are not as hopeless as they seem. The aggrieved investors can take countermeasures and demand invested money back. At the moment, it is unlikely that the Crypneteasy investment fraudsters will be caught in time, but there is reason to hope. Hope because the funds flowed through accounts that were actually provided by reputable banks. Those responsible demonstrably failed to check the traders' deposits, some of which were large and therefore subject to controls, and their forwarding for illegality. Such omissions made the investment fraud possible in the first place.

Crypneteasy: They want their money back! How does it work?
With this knowledge, the interested parties would not have engaged in business with Crypneteasy. Now the only way left for victims is to seek compensation for the loss.
