I got a message from a guy called Antione Janski a few days ago on Hangouts. He said he was a cryptocurrency investor and sent me a website called www.cryptoprime.trade
His email: [email protected]
The website is very scam-y looking, like it was created in 2005
Their address is also very suspicious - on their website their address is listed as Summit house,
4-5 Mitchell street, EDINBURGH, Scotland - but on their Companies House page (found here) their address is listed as Victoria House, 50-58 Victoria Road, Farnborough, United Kingdom, GU14 7PG.
One of the requirements to register at CryptoPrime is to have a PerfectMoney account, a website which is also probably from 2005.
He asked me to ‘‘invest’’ $1000 into the CryptoPrime, and then asked me to send a receipt. I saw the opportunity and sent him a Grabify link to about:blank. He clicked revealing his IP and other info:

This guy is probably a 19-year-old Nigerian and not some random guy called Mike Johnson as they say on their Companies House.
He further tells me he is a worker of CryptoPrime (it could be possible that this is a big international scam and that he’s a small fish in an ocean, who knows)
It could be possible that this is not even a scam - no negative reviews for CryptoPrime, but this guy is from Nigeria (which isn’t a highly reputable country on this website) and there are different addresses for the same business. Weird. What do you guys think?
He later asked me for a screenshot of my Binance account and my 12 phrases, probably to steal my account and my BTC since he failed at the mission of me ‘‘investing’’ into CryptoPrime.
He isn’t responding to my message about the 12 phrases, and I will update you about it shortly.
