USDT Pool Review: Staking model MLM crypto Ponzi
USDT Pool fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
USDT Pool’s website domain (“usdtpool.io”), was privately registered on June 23rd, 2023.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, USDT Pool provides a UK shell company certificate for USDTPool LTD.
The UK’s FCA banned MLM crypto investment schemes on October 8th, 2023. Such to the extent USDT Pool has any actual ties to the UK, the company operates illegally.
In addition to the UK, USDT Pool also provides a corporate address in Australia. Both addresses are unlikely to have anything to do with USDT Pool.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]
SKP Mine Review: Cloud mining “click a button” app Ponzi
SKP Mine (aka Skip Cloud Miner and SK Pools), fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
SKP Mine’s website domain (“skpools.pro”), was privately registered on June 3rd, 2023.
If we look at SKP Mine’s website source-code, we find the site is localised to Chinese.
This strongly suggests whoever is running SKP Mine has ties to China.
Note that although it is being run by Chinese scammers, SKP Mine is primarily targeting the Philippines.
SimilarWeb currently ranks the Philippines as the top source of traffic to SKP Mine’s website (16% for September 2023, down 87% month on month). SKP Mine official marketing material is also presented in Philippine peso equivalents.
Other sources of SKP Mine traffic include Indonesia (13%), Egypt (12%), Russia (7%) and Turkey (7%).
