Alleged Cryptocurrency Trading Platform Bitsorcoinss.com Appears to Be Engaged in Fraud

The investor was introduced to an individual who said they would make contract trades on Bitsorcoinss.com (“Bitsor”). The investor deposited funds into their Coinbase account and the individual transferred the funds to Bitsor and claimed to contract trade. The individual led the investor to believe they were making significant profits. The investor lost approximately $492,000. 

Red Flags

• The Bitsor website appears to be about another entity that they refer to as “Modular Asset Management,” “Modular,” and “Modularity.”  Bitsor is only included in the website title and website address
• The website has numerous typos and grammatical errors
• An internet search of text within the Bitsor website results in another potentially fraudulent website with nearly identical text and graphics, https://bigonemmm.com, indicating that a template may be used
