Online Trading Scams grounded in Cyprus: Coinbase and Capitalbiz.io
Online Trading Scams grounded in Cyprus. The perpetrators: Coinbase and Capitalbiz.io.
Online Trading Scams grounded in Cyprus: Coinbase and Capitalbiz.io. This Mam-e inquiry reports the warnings of well-established personalities who portray a story shaded by dramatic and criminal implications. All the following are proven data that have been fact-checked accurately. Once again, we are facing another chapter within the online-trading fraud saga that has long since come under the spotlight.
This article is based on the charges pressed by the victims of this scam who have reached out to us, alongside our personal network of contacts within Consob and Cyrec, Milan Attorney, the Swisse General Attorney, Postal Police, Nyse Commission, La Repubblica newspaper represented by Giovanni Pas, and many others who will be given further attention in the next future.
This is meant to be the first of a string of articles regarding Cyprus-based frauds. After having taken note that scammers look eager to reach out to Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) – the company which runs U.S. cryptocurrency and which is currently listed at Nasdaq– we will take onto it as well. Therefore, we invite all of the readers who have suffered losses and damages to open up and share their experiences with us. We will guarantee that everyone will be listened thoroughly and completely free of charge: as journalists we can assure anything but to give voice to the stories of the victims of this intrigue.
Fraudsters: Coinbase Ireland Ltd, Coinbase Europe Ltd, Capitalbiz.io and Webtrader.C-Base.Co.
The fraud we were able to identify takes place through the websites of Coinbase Ireland Ltd and Coinbase Europe Ltd, Capitalbiz.io, whose–as of today–results out of line, as well as Webtrader.C-Base.Co. Despie these players have been “delisted” by Consob back in 2019, they still can be accessed via account and they still operate through call-center companies, which scam people by offering to buy tranche of Amazon quotes (for a minimum of 250€), promising profits as high as a second paycheck.
The Scam Platform: Webtrader.C-Base.Co. website.
Webtrader.C-Base.Co. website it is still online and showing the portfolio position of those who have contacted us and from whom have started this investigative report. The following screenshot has been made on the 2nd of March 2023.
Webtrader.C-Base.Co is an open source website, therefore anybody can legitimately access it, but entirely unreliable when it comes to their activities, allowing fake “chief trader” to perform astonishing trades which differ from one another, depending on the amount of money invested. These trades are publicly displayed shortly after being concluded: they just never happened.
The profits shown are non-transferable, since that the crooks orchestrating this fraud–in this very case Diego Mattellone e Christian Slater–claim to be mandatory to pay the taxes [Capital Gain, ndr] in Cyprus, in advance.
During our last intercourse, a call with mr. Mattellone, the whole situation was clear enough to force him to back off, blabbering confusedly about how the taxes should be paid in Italy and only afterwards the money will be transferred back within the 15th of March. Quiet ever since–silence is a powerful weapon–they probably hope to get away with this.
Do not fall for it: taxes are to be paid in Italy.
People have been stolen upon the promise of huge profits.
The victims have been mishandled upon the promise of huge profits and induced to invest more and more money only to regain – after asking to withdraw their fundings – to verify the authenticity of these phantom earnings – a part of their funds via bank transfer issued by Coinbase: more precisely, two 10.000€ bank transfers and another one for the amount of 3.500€ per Coinbase Ireland Ltd. Srl, Dublin, 2, D02R, 70, Sir John Ltd. Quai Ltd Rogerson.
So Coinbase really does operate
As it stands, Coinbase it really is an operating company, which receives and send bank transfers. The typical scheme also highlighted by the lawyers of “Largo Consumo” is the following: after the user has virtually achieved considerable earnings they forward a request for tax payment to be paid in Cyprus, for an equivalent of 15%, on behalf of Capitalbase and Capitalbiz.io. In this case the tax payment has been personally requested by Diego Mattellone and Christian Slater. What differs is that Christian Slater disappeared with the tax’s money, while Diego Mattellone went on asking for the payment to be made as a broken record for several days: at least to pay half of these taxes in order to re-obtain the first half (!!) of the investment previously made, which has been illegally withstand for more than 2 months now.
After this, Capitalbiz.io fired Christian Slater – as attached – promising the restitution of these taxes before March 15th: a true and sad comedy.
Scammers: Christian Slater, Diego Mattellone, Alessandro Dimantova, Luigi Fontana, Alexia Zavos.
Dramatis personae of this show are Christian Sater, Diego Mattellone, Alessandro Dimantova, Luigi Fontana, Alexia Zavos. During an exchange of emails with Diego Mattellone we have learn about the true email addresses of these individuals, which we consequently attach: danilazio97@live.it, , liliana.mellone75@gmail.com,
Diego Mattellone, known as “the boss” and frequently held up in public blogs as the worst alongside Alexia Zavos, has recently stated that they could “erase everything with 10.000”, but here comes the worst part: in fact, these crooks pay Google, through middle-persons, so that their ranking is pretty high, and Google does not fact check the contents displayed.
Moreover, the hackers belonging to “De Noantri” organization have reassured the scammers about the possibility of erasing the negative reviews posted in the web. Well, not only this has to be proven yet but anyone has its own hackers, so we will see who will get out on top of this.
online trading scams: The Banks who back up the fraudsters
The banks listed below all had held relations with the above mentioned institutes or individuals, but some of them, like Circle Banking, also provides mailing accounts for rent which in conclusion allow the addressee to vanish without leaving a trace and thereby constitutes money laundering. After our notification they replied assessing the following (see picture below): in the absence of a prosecution by the luxembourgian attorney they are not held to giving out the addressees so that they definitely are to be held responsible for the loss of the invested assets.
