Flexcoinex.com
March 10, 2025

So I sell real estate. And a man contacted me through my website and told me he was looking to buy a property in my area. Told me was coming down on a certain date and even booked a hotel room that I confirmed. Then abruptly, he was a no-show. So after a day or two I kept on calling him or I should say texting him and he told me that that he had to go away on emergency trip to talk to his nodes ( nodes are values that move up and down in crypto) team in order to be able to make the right transactions in either buying high buying low. Now this man was outstanding with his English and how he communicated. Now he goes by several different names and several different pictures. The one I have is from my guy called Thorne Sable. Now, several people have contacted me after writing reviews on other sites and said that his name has changed and his face as well too. He actually worked me for five months. He shows you how to transfer money into crypto.com, which did absolutely nothing wrong. Just to make sure that they were outstanding in their customer performance. Then he shows you how to open up a wallet and transfer the money from Crypto.com to this fake site called Flexcoinex.com. And then he would give me some guidance through out the entire process as to when to buy low and when to buy high. I made some money. So I invested another 3000 from my original 3000. Once again I made more money. Then I asked him because I'm not used to this and was a novelist at crypto. But thought I had a trustworthy person working on my side. So then he guide me on how to take some money out. Which I did take out in several different transactions approximately $1500. Great. Now he's asking me to put in $100,000 because of the great returns that I could see. So I was kind of thinking of it as I had my own face identification a password. No one knew my phrase or any of my passwords. Took some money out of my savings account and was about to invest it. But then I got suspicious of the man and decided that I'll hold back for a bit. But once I tried to take all my money out of it, the money was then transferred to a different account. Flexcoinex.com has somebody in the background answering your questions on customer support. So after customer support was not really answering the questions I was looking for. And some of the answers from this man called Thorne Sable. I got a little suspicious and decided that I was gonna take my money out. When I went to do that. All the money got transferred to another account. Now that's impossible to screw up. Because you're copying your account number and pasting it in order to transfer over back into Crypto.com. But the guy is actually running Flexcoinex.com in the background. He has one of his cronies that are answering your questions. But once you've try to take the money out, it's automatically transferred into his account. So please stay away from.Flexcoinex.com as now I have learnt a very big lesson. I will never trust anybody again in my entire life except for my wife. And even then I'm skeptical! Now this man should somehow someway be caught. But no one is willing to step up to the plate and make a police report or to the FBI if you're live in the United States. Now this piece of $#*! actually still opens up my nasty responses to him and on WhatsApp. I guess he gets humour from it. Now by telling people this hopefully then he has to go through all the work of setting up another Wallet. It takes a lot of time and it must take energy to do. Now I'm not so bad off as I expected to lose $6000 when I stepped into doing this. If you can't afford to lose it, don't play it. But one of the people that contacted me after I wrote several reviews. He took 75% of her life savings This is the piece of garbage that should not go to jail. But should be taken out immediately And a bullet put in their f**king head. Skip all trials and just get rid of this scum off of earth.
Thanks for reading.

Scamadviser: The Self-Proclaimed Scam Detector That Might Be the Real Scam
November 8, 2024

An in-depth critique of Scamadviser.com, exploring its questionable trust ratings and the potential harm to legitimate businesses.
Introduction: Scamadviser – The Internet's Flawed Gatekeeper
Scamadviser.com positions itself as the ultimate authority on website trustworthiness, offering trust scores that can make or break online reputations. However, beneath its façade of consumer protection lies a system riddled with inconsistencies and a lack of transparency.

1. The Opaque Algorithm: Trust Scores Without Trust
Scamadviser claims to utilize a sophisticated algorithm to assess website credibility. Yet, the specifics of this algorithm remain undisclosed, leaving website owners and users in the dark about the criteria influencing trust scores. This lack of transparency raises concerns about the reliability of their assessments.

Recommendation: Consumers should cross-reference Scamadviser ratings with other reputable sources and user reviews to form a well-rounded opinion.

2. Collateral Damage: Legitimate Sites Unfairly Penalized
Legitimate businesses often find themselves unjustly labeled as "scams" due to Scamadviser's flawed evaluation methods. Factors such as new domain registration or limited online presence can result in low trust scores, harming businesses that adhere to ethical practices.

Case in Point: Even our own site, which complies with all industry standards, has been assigned a 51% trust score by Scamadviser, adversely affecting our reputation and sales.

Recommendation: Website owners should actively monitor their Scamadviser ratings and seek clarification or correction when discrepancies arise.

3. Questionable Practices: Profit Over Integrity?
There are allegations that Scamadviser may prioritize profit over impartiality. The platform's business model, which includes advertisements and potential partnerships, could influence trust scores, leading to biased evaluations.

Recommendation: Users should approach Scamadviser ratings with caution and consider potential conflicts of interest that may affect the objectivity of their assessments.

4. The Real Scam: Eroding Trust in the Digital Marketplace
By disseminating potentially misleading trust scores, Scamadviser contributes to a climate of distrust online. This not only harms legitimate businesses but also undermines consumer confidence in digital transactions.

Recommendation: Consumers and businesses alike should advocate for greater transparency and accountability from platforms like Scamadviser to foster a more trustworthy online environment.

Conclusion: Rethinking Scamadviser's Role in Online Trust
While Scamadviser purports to protect consumers from online scams, its opaque practices and questionable trust scores suggest that it may be part of the problem rather than the solution. Both consumers and businesses must critically evaluate the platform's assessments and seek more transparent and reliable sources of information.

Slow database updates, Broken algorithm, unhelpful staff, possible scam site
September 13, 2023

Awfully slow database updates
Their database update schedules are HORRIBLE. My site was flagged by Trend Micro incorrectly, which I have sorted it out with them, and now it's trusted by Trend Micro again. However, It has been WEEKS and Scamadviser still HAS NOT updated it.

I recently transferred my domain from Porkbun to Spaceship. ScamAdviser still thinks the registrar as the old one, they just provides inaccurate and outdated information to their users.

There are NO (clear) ways for viewers or at least verified site owners to update their data. This is horrible, and ruins small businesses that are just starting.

Broken Algorithms
1. When a website is distrusted by Trend Micro, an immediate trust score of 1 is exaggerated. What if it's a false positive? It's just damaging other companies' reputations.
2. My website has a TrustedSite TrustMark displayed, but I am not getting the positive impact of "
This website is showing a trust mark". It's fine, you don't support it. HOWEVER, I saw a site that has NO VISIBLE TRUSTMARKS and has the positive impact. What? Also, how is showing a trust mark list a positive impact? Everyone can just add one to their site? You are discriminating against me.
3. They give some websites(not mine) a negative impact of "The registrar has a high % of spammers and fraud sites", which is COMPELTE NONSENSE. Why would you flag a domain registrar? The domain I saw this from was registered via Namesilo, which is a highly trusted registrar. Discriminating against registrars makes no sense, and basically even damaging the registrar's reputation, while they only gives domain services and do not involve in scam activities. ScamAdviser, you are completely a piece of garbage.
4. My website which is 8 months old has the negative impact of "The age of this site is (very) young.". My friend's website which is only 6 months old has NO negative points about the website's age. EXCUSE ME?

Unhelpful Staff
Following up on the broken algorithm 4, I got in touch with their support team why my website has that negative impact and younger websites do not. However, they are just KEEP asking me if I want to VERIFY MY COMPANY? After clear indication that I am not doing that, and CLEARLY INDICATING that I am looking for why does the negative impact "The age of this site is (very) young." is showing on my site, and a solution for it.
They have NEVER given me a helpful reply.

Possible scam site.
On their own page, scamadviser on scamadviser, they gave themselves a trust score of 100/100. But there is like 5 (high risk) negative impacts found, and 1/3 of the reviews are negative, they are still given themselves 100? While legit sites are given like 50-60 only?.

Horrible service. Stay away from trashy companies that discriminate websites.

Tip for consumers:

They are a scam with hidden and broken algorithms. All of their staff members are plain idiots.

They gave me a voice after being ripped off
March 24, 2021

This is an excellent platform for consumers to voice this concerns. Thank you Scamadviser.com. See below for my experience with a business that does NOT put customers first.
BUYER BEWARE IF PURCHASING USED EQUIPMENT from Shenzhen Dovina Electronic Technology Company Ltd. Know that it may arrive damaged FROM THE SUPPLIER and or may under perform. I purchased 2 miners and 1 was perfect and 1 came with boards that would crash. Just know, USED miners do NOT have any type of warranty and is NOT protected by the Alibaba Trade Assurance platform. THIS SELLER will do NOTHING for you but keep your money. I'm out $1000 US. I've spent 23 days in discussions proving my case to have the rep simply give the incorrect information over and over again until Trade Assurance closed the case. Now, this is VERY IMPORTANT if you are going to purchase from them. PRIOR TO PAYING, request the ID of the unit you would be purchasing along with a video showing the machine working consistently for a MINIMUM OF 1 DAY. Don't be fooled with a video of multiple units being tested at the same time then moving over the miner ID's. That doesn't even prove that the miner they're showing you is even plugged into the switch and or does not even tell you which computer tab applies to your specific miner. Insist that the factory test be performed ONLY on the one miner being purchased. Video should show a minimum of 1 day of hashing capabilities to ensure stability, video to include the date and time of test, then the video should move from the computer screen to follow the plugged in Ethernet cable from the PC to miner for capture the machine ID, and finally, request the contract and read it carefully, especially the conditions section at the bottom. If they did what they should have done in the first place, I could have sought damages from the shipper. In closing, Alibaba Trade Assurance reps were all professional and even wished they could do more for me. Alibaba Trade Assurance should re-revaluate this seller as a Trade Assured business as they're giving Alibaba a bad name. All this pain would be worth it if this review can stop one other person from making the same mistake I did.

"Bigeest Scammer of the World"
August 2, 2020

It is a totally fake website overall. It has many reasons. It never shows same result sometimes it show 100% trust score Some times 68% trustscore Some times 0% and Some times 1% in duration of 20-30 minutes. But Review in this site remain same their content and trustscore change everytime. So I want to suggest publish it with the name with scamviwer. Com otherwise this company will close shortly and will pay fine also. I worked in a company when I thought to join it because they were saying their trustscore is 100% in scamadviser. So I check then I found they are speaking truth. This site is legit. I filled the form but the time to deposit payment fees I checked it once again to be sure about it. Now this time it showed 1% trustscore many wrong content. Website which was saying that time super legit 100% safe. This time saying fake website with only 1% trustscore. But the comment on this are same as like previous checking pattern by myself. So I want to ask them are you blind or very stupid without any comman sense. That there are 10-15 Comment all gave 5 star saying with mindblowing fantastic amazing company and you are saying 1% trustscore and super fake can you find similarity with 100% audience support vs 1% trustscore. I think this site is full technical issues, but every time new article about that company. It means anyone type in it manually also. So I think It is not a scam adviser it scamviewer but if you love with the name of advisor then you can say it scratch advisor or prank advisor for wellness of your company and reputation they are showing their result 100% in their site which never changes but other platform they have not more tgan 20% trustscore. In this site also they got 1/5 Star, which is site too. If you think this website is real because you think it does not charge any fees then you are wrong because I recommended this site to my employee and relatives they abused me. I lost my reputation relation and trust also. So it is your choice money is more important then relation or reputation. I dmam not saying to purchase any software. But you should try better platform for good and accurate result like this site as too. Best of luck buddies
