Bhimaninn Fake Crypto Mining App: Victim Approached Through Telegram
Bhimaninn is a scam crypto mining pool that draws in victims through social media channels before gradually fleecing more cash from them.
The person who contacted The Crypto Adviser about this fake crypto site had been approached by a woman on Telegram.
They formed a friendship before she turned the conversation to crypto investing and supposed DeFi/Bitcoin mining pool opportunities that she’d become aware of.
She claimed that the victim could receive a significant income each day and showed screenshots of her account purporting to contain a large profit.
She then organised for him to convert cash into BNB before sending it to the claimed ‘mining wallet’.
Initially, it seemed as if the investment was working and ‘profits’ began to accrue in the victim’s account.
Encouraged by this, the victim poured more crypto into the account before realising it was a scam after stumbling across several sites that appeared to be a carbon copy of the Bhimaninn one.
Why is Bhimaninn a scam crypto mining pool?
There are many things that show this platform to be a scam. They include:
- Very new domain name with hidden registrant’s details.
- No social media channels.
- No official apps in the app stores.
- No information about the company or the team behind it.
- A very poorly designed ‘cookie cutter’ website.
- Non-existent links to official audit reports.
- The website automatically prompts you to login to your Coinbase wallet.
- Totally unrealistic profit claims.
- Poor use of English and grammar throughout the site.
Is there anything I can do to get my money back from Bhimaninn?
It’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to retrieve your funds from this platform.
However, you should still report it the authorities in your country in case they have any success in catching the scammers.
This is difficult to do, but there are companies that might be able to help that I’ve written about here.
