Da1as – also called C-Finance – is a poorly designed scam crypto trading platform which nevertheless has been used to con unsuspecting investors out of their cash.

Victims of this scam are usually introduced to the platform by someone they’ve recently met on social media that has shown a romantic interest in them.

Da1as runs as both a platform and a DApp which victims are able to connect to via many legitimate crypto services and wallet apps.

Once a victim has invested funds in the platform their account may appear to show profits being added to their balance.

However, if they try to withdraw their funds, they’ll be blocked from doing so and asked to pay large fees to secure the release of their money.

But if the fees are paid more demands will follow and at no point will their money be returned to them.

The platform is extremely rudimentary and offers none of the regulator, company or licensing information that a legitimate crypto investment platform would offer.

Also, there are many other things wrong with it, such as no social media apps, no company address or proper contact details, terrible design and grammatically incorrect passages of text.

This is definitely a platform to avoid.

I’ve lost money to the Da1as (C-Finance) scam. Can I get it back?

Like many other crypto scams, the Da1as is set up to operate for a few months before vanishing, along with victims’ funds.

It’s important to report scams like this to the authorities as soon as you become aware of what’s happening.

However, it’s very difficult to get your funds back so you should be realistic about the chances of recovery.

There are also private companies that might be able to help which I’ve written about here.
