FDBit

Is the FDBit platform safe? This article delves into its false promises of high returns, its thawing fee scam, account freezes, and withdrawal issues. Drawing on real investor complaints, this article reveals the truth behind Ponzi scheme scams and provides strategies for preventing them.

Conclusion : FDBit (fdbit.com) is currently inaccessible and lacks any company registration or license registration with any major global regulatory bodies (including the FCA, ASIC, CySEC, and the NFA). Considering its "high-yield inducement," "secondary verification fees," "mandatory taxes," and "withdrawal restrictions," FDBit's overall scam score is 1/10 , making it a typical "fake broker + high-yield scam."

1. Company Identity and Website Verification: No Entity, No Supervision, No Trace

📍 A query on the WHOIS domain name database shows that the domain name is registered by an anonymous registrar, and the registrant, company, address, etc. are all hidden. This is very common in fraudulent platforms , and the purpose is to conceal the identity of the operator behind the scenes.

2. “Guaranteed Profits” Talk: High Returns Mean High Risk

On channels such as Telegram, Reddit, and Twitter, FDBit’s promotional message is remarkably consistent:

• 📈 “100% annualized return, daily dividends”

• 📉 “AI intelligent quantification, automatic profit”

• 💸 "Sign up to get free trial bonus, deposit to your account within seconds and you can withdraw cash"

This type of advertising violates all countries' advertising compliance requirements for financial services providers. Any promise of returns, risk-free investments, or automatic profits is a red flag for a scam.

3. Fake Trading Interface: The “profit” you see is just code

Victims generally reported that the FDBit backend interface displayed figures such as "account profit" and "asset growth," but when they tried to withdraw cash, they encountered the following routine:

• ❌Account frozen : System prompts "Risk review"

• ❌Pay fees : Required to pay "verification fees" and "compliance taxes"

• ❌Customer service disappeared : Unable to contact platform staff after payment

• ❌Backend locked : login restricted, assets “evaporated”

In fact, these so-called "profit data" have never entered the real market. They are just numbers forged by the platform using front-end codes in order to encourage users to continue to increase their positions or pay additional fees.

4. The Second Audit Scam: Squeezing Investors Step by Step

FDBit’s scam process is almost “textbook-level”:

1. 🎣Low deposit threshold : The first deposit only requires $100, which attracts new users to participate;

2. 💸False profits : The account shows "income growth" to induce further increase in positions;

3. 🔐Withdrawal blocked : The system rejects withdrawals due to "anti-money laundering review" or "identity verification";

4. 📩Additional fees : Requires payment of 10%-30% "unlocking fee" or "compliance tax";

5. 🏃‍♂️ Completely disappeared : the account was blocked after refusing payment and customer service lost contact.

✅ The combination of these steps is a typical feature of the "Ponzi scheme + virtual trading" scam, and appears in almost all international fake brokerage cases.

FAQ

Q1: Is FDBit inoperable due to maintenance?
❌ No. Official platform maintenance will be announced in advance, and domain names will not be closed for a long time.

Q2: Are their “regulatory screenshots” credible?
❌ Completely unreliable. Legitimate licenses should be available for immediate verification on the regulatory website; there's no such thing as "screenshot proof."

Q3: Can I get my funds back after paying the thawing fee?
⚠️ Almost impossible. The unfreezing fee is the "final step" of the scam. After paying the fee, most people can no longer contact the platform.
