We all have come through different types of scams everyday .There’s a group in WhatsApp lead me to platform called bright coin (brightcoin.cc) and made me to invest in .

They are not forcing or giving me pressure to increase more but generally say if I have more and I earn more.They normally share signals for which coin , what percent amount we put in to go long or short and it mostly go as they instruct and you earn some money,I put in almost 1500€ , and withdraw only 100€ and kept remain for to make profits .

I liquidated my money to zero by selecting wrong credentials first time before I put in few hundred and start again I was talking with other people in group , they all told that started with 20 or 30K and earned in millions,actually showed the platform balance.So this time ,I lost all again by selected wrong leverage by other member in group to earn quicker as she told me she had done this before nothing happened like that .

She also saying that she also lost all money it was around 500K euros Now,I’m thinking because I lost two times now ,will it be a scam , they are around 115 members in what’s app group ,all are scammers ,? Is it practically possible to create that much WhatsApp no as fake ??Anybody have any experience,pls pour your thoughts and opinions ,as neither don’t want to lose more money by going in again if it’s scam nor not to miss opportunity if that’s really true Pls provide your suggestions if anyone has gone through the same.

  • Of course it’s a scam! Everything you put in is lost, and any earnings are faked.

    And yes all 115 “users” in that WhatsApp are fake or scammers

  • Don't send them more money. Everything has been fake. The profits, the wrong credentials, everything. They control the site so they can put whatever they want on there. They stole your money the moment you sent it.

    Everyone in the group besides you is a bot or part of the scam.

    Whatever you sent is gone. The rest never existed. Read the auto reply, that's how common this scam is.

    Ignore the people messaging you. They're trying to rip you off again

    parent

    They do have channel in WhatsApp not just only groups ?? How do we recognise this as bot ?? What’s auto reply you mean ??

    parent root

    The auto reply to your post about how there are no real investment groups or channels on Whatsapp. Open your own post and look at the comments if you didn't see it already

    parent root

  • It’s all fake including the “mistakes”. They just fake everything to get you to invest more.
    with ai chat bots it’s trivial to make a group look full

    parent

  • This sounds exactly like what happened to me. It’s a scam! I’m curious as to the name of the what’s app group and the names of the players….is there a professor with an assistant??

    parent root

    I don’t trust it. So you give a small amount and they give you more back??? That’s BS

    parent root

    With that amount , you can’t withdraw directly and can only use for trading and making profits that you withdraw , I was told .. It’s really hard to make decisions as scammers getting more realistic these days What you have done after you knew that you were scammed ?? Are you still in that group ??

    parent root

    Yes , professor Dunn, assistant Lina , this Dunn has even own WhatsApp channel not only just group that started in September 2025 , they do the trade through bright coin platform.they just share signals in group and we have to do trading in platform

    parent root

    Yeah: the one that got me is Prof Mercer with Isabelle. And yes, he had his own telegram channel. There was “crypto” expert; also with his own telegram. Trust the replies: it’s a scam. They zero’d me out 3 times. The first two times for small amounts. Last time was for almost 10g, then kept telling me I could recoup my losses but had to deposit at least 30-50g to be in the expert group and get “higher level” signals. It’s a scam, big Scam! Get out now!

    parent root

    How they have zeroed out ??bcoz I got it by own mistake by selected wrong leverage

    parent root

    They're lying to you. You never made any trades, had any leverage, or made any mistakes.

    For fucks sake, stop talking to these people before you lose more money

    parent root

    The first time I put too much leverage. The last two times were from “bad” trades one of the members sent me. She said she was getting signals from the “expert” group and sent them to me. Some “worked” and 2 of them made me lose everything.

    parent root

    Okay .looks similar to me ,,she said that she also lost money Around 500k euros ,after shared wrong signals from expert group … So it looks like mistakes on us.how did u come into conclusion as scam ?? Did you ever withdraw?or they asked more fees for that

    parent root

    I found a post on here with a picture of the same names, different pictures, different group name and it all clicked. I had been using Chat GPT to do more research and everything that was coming up was leading to it being a scam. When I reached out to Ksaok about closing my account & getting verification of it being closed, I was ghosted. The person that was sending me signals kept saying “it’s ok, just put more money” and Isabelle kept saying it too, promoting the 568% return, etc.

    parent root

    Hi , How about the bad person who share wrong signals , did she or he lost too ??? They still keep post messages about many things ,if 115 are scammers ,all are trying to put a bait ? For few euros

    parent root

    She said she lost 181k. Idk if the whole group are scammers. Obviously I wasn’t. Many are bots or a few people with multiple accounts. From what I’ve read they’re using forced labor.

    parent root

    Hi ,thanks for your comment, can I get the group link if you are still in this , let’s see how they go ??

    parent root

    If you give them any more money, you will not see it again. Kiss your money goodbye. You posted in this subreddit because you thought it was a scam. We are telling you it is a scam. What is the point of posting here if you refuse to accept that?

    parent root

    I’m not refusing but try to understand logical reasoning or want to know each of my quest on this answered appropriately so b that I’ll ever face in my life

  • That’s just terrible. Never download 3rd party apps. Stick with apps you can download in apple. Like this one. Even this app is full of scammers so never trust anyone. Forget the lost money and think of it as a lesson.Be happy you didn’t lose a million.

    parent

  • All investment groups on Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook, etc. are scams - no exceptions.

    Any site with "vip" or similar levels is a scam.

    There is no such thing as investment signals.

  • New victims, please read this:

    As a rule of thumb: If you suspect the site is a scam, it probably is.

    No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.

    No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.

    No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.

    You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.

    Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities.

    If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

  • This is a scam, to take all of your money. It's called a pigbutchering scam.

    Did you match with a pretty Asian lady on a dating site? Did someone send you a message, and pretend that she contacted the wrong number? These are common ways to start the pigbutchering scam with fake investments.

    'She' is a group of scammers, probably working in a scam call center in southeast Asia.

    The website is all fake, and the numbers on the screens are controlled by the scammers. They can manipulate the numbers to fool you into thinking that you made money, or lost money.

    You are not dealing with a real investment company. In spite of what anyone told you, it was all a scam from the beginning. The website screens display numbers that are manipulated by a group of scammers, to look like you made a profit. You will probably get a little bit of money, to fool you into thinking that you are making a profit. But, there is no actual profit, and no money is really invested.

    As soon as you give money to the scammers, thinking that you were investing it, they moved it to a crypto wallet that they control.

    *** Here is an easy way to determine that a crypto trading website is a scam: The company is not one of the legitimate cryptocurrency trading companies.

    Even a legitimate crypto investment is risky. Cryptocurrency is unregulated, irreversible, and anonymous. If you want to trade crypto, there are only a few legitimate crypto exchanges (meaning: they don't just steal your money), for example Kraken, Bitbuy, Coinbase, Bitget and Binance. To have a possibility of actually making money, use one of these for trading. Any other website is a phony company that will lie to you, and take your money.

  • The website brightcoin.cc has been reported as a scam.

    Whois.com shows that the website domain was registered in 2024, and last updated December 11 2025.

    However: a search of the Internet Archives Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) shows that the website domain is older. It was for sale in 2022, and was dormant for several years.

    It looks like the dormant website domain was purchased, in late 2024, and resurrected as a scam cryptocurrency trading website. So, it should be treated as if it was created on December 11 2025 -- it's only 28 days old, which is a sign of a scam.

    Also:

    The website is registered in Iceland -- this is a sign of a scam.

    Thousands of scam websites are registered in Reykjavik Iceland, due to Icelandic privacy laws, which have the unintended consequences of sheltering scams, frauds, and criminals.

  • Yes ,I was thinking the same , they run the official channels in WhatsApp how dare ? They run websites boldly ? to scam more people !!! Where’s our law protectors and makers ?? SLEEPING !!!!

  • But how they did it to you ? It happened to me by me select wrong leverage in that

    parent

    I don't think you're fully understanding: The scammers 100% own and control the site. There is no investing. You didn't "Select the wrong leverage" or "Use bad credentials" - these are 100% lies they are telling you to get you to keep putting money in. They are stealing every bit you send, and they will keep coming up with ways to get you to send more until you accept the truth that this is a scam and stop engaging with them.

    You are being robbed. Stop sending money. Don't respond to anyone who says they can get your money back - there is no such thing.
