Attention! Do not fall for Coinbase imposter and adxs.exchange

Spread financial intelligence

There is a strange website associated with the domain htts://adxs.exchange. On the one hand, this website offers a fund recovery project that allegedly brings back the money to the victims of online fraud. On the other hand, it also provides trading in cryptocurrencies right away. The website states a UK company adxs.exchange UK Ltd with the company number 09083955 as the operator. However, this company registration number belongs to Coinbase UK Ltd, which has nothing to do with the listed crypto exchange Coinbase (www.coinbase.com). Stay Far Away from these stealing idiots.

Scam narrative

The website of adxs.exchange claims to offer investigative and consulting services for victims of online trading fraud to help them get their money back. They claim to be able to track down digital fingerprints, cyber analysis, and thorough investigative work. However, they are also offering crypto trading services, which look like a scam, smell like a scam, and are a scam. The German regulator BaFin issued an investor warning against adxs.exchange.

The User Agreement of adxs.exchange states that the operator would be adxs.exchange UK Ltd. However, the specified company number belongs to Coinbase UK Ltd. This has nothing to do with the NASDAQ-listed Coinbase.

The website is said to be the payment processor of the FCA-registered CB Payments Ltd, which is an agent of Coinbase. We could not determine whether CB Payments actually facilitates the adxs.exchange with its services.
