From the moment we open the PrimeFirmTrade website, we are given reasons to be suspicious. First we get an odd pop-up message warning us that deposits should only be made to the company’s bitcoin wallet, not to account managers. This would be strange even if we hadn’t come across other scam websites using the exact same message, for example UltimatePristineFxTrade. The website then spews out constant pop-up messages with people’s names and amounts they have invested or withdrawn. These are of course fictitious individuals and fictitious amounts – public dissemination of such information would be in violation of any data privacy law. The boasts that this unknown company operates in 134 countries and serves over 2 million customers are also an obvious lie. It is also telling that the PrimeFirmTradeclaims to offer cryptocurrency mining alongside forex trading – the two activities have nothing in common and no legitimate broker is involved in crypto mining. So PrimeFirmTrade is obviously o...

Coinbase Shares Fell As Much As 5% After Super Bowl Ad Causes App To Crash Coinbase shares, the largest publicly listed crypto exchange in the U.S., fell as much as 5% immediately after a Super Bowl ad caused the app to briefly crash over the weekend. The ad, which was aired during the title game of the National Football League – the biggest TV event in the U.S., – featured the letter ‘C’ and a colorful QR code, which if scanned redirected customers to a link that offered 15 USD in Bitcoin to all who signed up for a Coinbase account before 15th of February. In addition Coinbase offered 1 million USD each to three existing users. The Coinbase website registered more than 20 000 000 hits in about a minute and “engagement that was six times higher than previous benchmarks”, Surojit Chatterjee, chief product officer at Coinbase, said on Twitter. The surge in traffic marked an all time high for the website. “(Coinbase) just saw more traffic than we’ve ever encountered, but our teams pulled ...

American consumers reported losing more than $5.8 billion to fraud last year, up from $3.4 billion in 2020 (an increase of more than 70%), the Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday. Almost 2.8 million consumers filed a fraud report to the agency in 2021 — the highest number on record dating back to 2001, according to the FTC. About 25% of those scams led to a financial loss, with the typical person losing $500. The true toll is almost certainly higher since some incidents likely weren’t reported to the agency. Those figures also don’t include reports of identity theft and other categories. More than 1.4 million Americans also reported being a victim of identity theft in 2021; another 1.5 million filed complaints related to “other” categories (including credit reporting companies failing to investigate disputed information, or debt collectors falsely representing the amount or status of debt). Both sums are annual records, according to the FTC. Fraud has ballooned during the Covid-19 pa...
