A fake crypto project scam report.

Narrative evidence

What happened

A fake crypto project scam involving cryptocurrency was reported against the website polytip.cc on 6 September 2026. Was referenced to a site Polytip.cc to earn $1000 with a code "Musk" via an IG video that was sent to me from someone I know. I like using prediction markets on RobinHood so I gave it a chance. This is a prediction market investment site. In order to "verify" the account- a bitcoin wallet to bitcoin wallet transfer of $100 had to be deposited. The verification also included pictures of my Drivers License and email. When I got the "verification" check symbol and saw the $103 Bitcoin deposit in the Polytip.cc account - I tried to withdraw out of the $4000 available that I had "earned" with prediction market trading- it denied the withdrawal and asked for an additional $200 to approve the withdrawal. When I followed the Bitcoin wallet address through a lookup site : The address the initial $100 deposit has gone to is: bc1q3cutltjn6e9cfdq4229xwpr56ykdyg8p4qatm5. The site says that is at a $0 balance. Wallet addresses linked to this report: bitcoin: bc1q3cutltjn6e9cfdq4229xwpr56ykdyg8p4qatm5 Do not send money or cryptocurrency to anyone connected to this report. If you have already paid, contact your bank or exchange and report the incident to your national fraud authority.
