Crypto Warnings and Scam Alerts

A warning on CoinReckon marks an action an authority took: a sanctions designation, an enforcement notice, or an alert-list entry. It is not our desk calling a service fraudulent. We record what happened, who recorded it, and when, then point you at the primary source so you can read it yourself.

What a listing here actually says

When a regulator names a platform, that naming is the fact we report. The underlying claims stay claims until a court or agency resolves them, and we write them as allegations throughout. A name alone rarely settles anything, because defunct brands get reused: a dead project's name can reappear on a fresh domain run by unrelated operators. We anchor each page to an exact domain for that reason. Absence cuts the other way too. A service missing from every alert list has not been cleared of anything, and a quiet registry is not a clean bill of health.

The pages collected on this hub

Ten status pages sit under this hub. Three keep their home elsewhere because the service is better known for trading: HTX: UK and EU Sanctions, US Availability and Garantex Status and Official Warnings live on the exchange side, while eXch Status and Official Warnings sits with the swaps. The remaining seven are warning-only profiles for names that reached us through enforcement or alert channels: BitConnect Status and Official Warnings, Bittrex Status and Official Warnings, Beaxy Status and Official Warnings, Binterex Status and Official Warnings, CBITCOIN Status and Official Warnings, Binanez Status and Official Warnings, and Fexedex Status and Official Warnings.

Searching the scam database

Most entries never get their own page. They live in the scam database, a searchable snapshot of 6,267 republishable alert records as of 2026-10-20. Search by the exact platform name or domain, since the index is built to disambiguate clones and a partial match on a common word will not serve you well. Each row carries the authority that issued it, the source columns behind it, and the date on the original notice. Four records with unresolved name conflicts were held back rather than risk pointing you at the wrong operator. The set is not exhaustive: we republish what we can source cleanly, and the Australian regulator's list is referenced by link only, at ASIC's investor alert list. If you spot an error or a stale entry, tell us through contacts.

How to read a warning page

A short routine keeps these pages useful:

• Match the exact domain, not just the name. A reused brand on a new address is a different operator.
• Check which authority issued the listing and on what date. A 2019 notice and a 2026 one carry different weight.
• Separate the kind of action. A sanctions designation, a registration warning, and an alert-list mention are not the same signal.
• Read allegations as allegations. A listing documents a claim or an order, not a final verdict unless the page says so.
• Do not read safety into silence. No listing anywhere means no listing, nothing more.

For services that are operating and reviewable rather than flagged, the reviews hub and the per-category exchanges and swaps hubs carry the rated profiles.

Dates, limits, and what we do not promise

Everything here rests on a dated snapshot taken 2026-10-20 under methodology version 1.3. The page's publication date is not a re-check date, and a notice can change after we record it, so the primary source always outranks our summary. Our methodology explains how entries are sourced and placed on the reliability ladder. We do not help recover lost funds, we make no guarantee about any outcome, and this hub carries no service links, referral links, or commercial relationships. It is general information, not personal financial or legal advice.
