Short version: Bittradeex looks very suspicious. Multiple signs point to an “advance-fee” withdrawal scam—they demand a “tax/AML/release fee” when you try to withdraw, and the money still doesn’t arrive.
What I found about bittradeex.com specifically:
-
The domain is very new and several automated risk checks flag it as suspicious/blacklisted. That’s not proof by itself, but it’s a red flag.
-
I can’t find a credible regulatory license for “Bittradeex.” Don’t confuse it with the legitimate, unrelated Japanese BitTrade (bittrade.co.jp).
-
Regulator alerts about fake crypto exchanges describe exactly what you’re experiencing: withdrawals are blocked and new fees are demanded. Do not pay any extra fees.
What to do now (step by step)
-
Stop all payments. Don’t send any “unlock/tax/AML” fees—this is part of the scam.
-
Document everything: screenshots (balances, error messages), emails or Telegram/WhatsApp chats, invoices, and any transaction hashes.
-
If you paid by bank card or transfer: contact your bank right away to request a chargeback or dispute.
-
If you sent crypto: collect the wallet addresses and transaction IDs; you’ll need these for reports and any tracing attempts.
-
File official reports:
-
Your local police/cybercrime unit for suspected fraud.
-
Your country’s financial regulator (e.g., FCA in the UK, SEC/CFTC in the US, or your national authority). Many have online forms and investor alerts on fake crypto platforms.
-
-
Write to the “exchange,” but only in writing: ask for a full account statement and a written explanation for the blocked withdrawal; note that conditioning payouts on extra fees violates fair-practice norms. Keep this for your reports.
Quick red-flag checklist
-
Brand-new domain, vague or unverifiable company details.
-
No license with reputable regulators (FCA/SEC/CFTC/ESMA-area authorities).
-
Withdrawals “only after” paying extra “tax/withdrawal/AML” fees.
