Zuigg is a scam crypto exchange which is being used to fleece unsuspecting investors out of their cash.
It purports to offer a wide range of trading services, but on closer inspection the website offers none of the functionality of a legitimate exchange, and there are many other red flags as well.
For example, the odd piece of content that does exist on the site appears to have been scraped from other websites and often doesn’t relate to the internal link followed to reach it.
Other links simply redirect to a login page without any explanation of what you’re actually signing up for.
Zuigg victim report: "I was followed on Twitter by woman. She was very friendly and chatted on Twitter and changed on to Telegram to chat. After several days chat topic became crypto. She got me looking at Crypto.com and putting money into that and then she help me setup Zuigg account. In short and after putting in $8000 and her help I short exchanged crypto became almost $18000. She did help me withdraw $500 in show how it works. Then she hounded me to withdraw my 401K and wanted me to invest with Zuigg. I said no and she became angry with me. Now doesn't chat anymore. I have been trying to withdraw my funds from Zuigg for the last 5 days. They have request under review. I doubt see my funds again."
Zuigg red flags
There’s a lot wrong with this website which point to it being operated by scammers.
Here are some of the issues:
- Clicking links such as ‘company profile’ takes you to a page of scraped content that appears to be disclaimer that has been cut and pasted onto the site.
- The ‘help center’ link leads to a garbled page of text littered with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
- The ‘privacy policy’ page features exactly the same scraped text as the company profile page.
- Zuigg has no social media presence, and there’s hardly anything written about the site online, despite it claiming to have been active for 9 years. The only mention is on sites warning that it’s a potential scam.
- There are no mobile apps associated with the platform, apart from highly suspicious directly downloadable installs.
- Ridiculous claims, such as having more than 10 million active users in 200+ countries when there are no reviews anywhere online.
- No information about the company, team or location, nor anything about official registrations or associations with industry organisations.
These points and others lead to the conclusion that Zuigg is definitely a scam site, and you should avoid sending any cash or crypto here.
