False and False Exchange fraud is a scam that uses real-world investment apps and exchange sites to send crypto assets, FX, and overseas investments.
On the screen, the funds may actually flow to the scam group, even if the profit and balance are increasing.
The risk signs to be considered as investors are the installation of informal apps, clarity of financial registration, extraordinary high profits, tax, security deposits and fees before withdrawal.
First Con まず
The most dangerous thing about fake apps and fake exchanges is that the screen is authentic.
If you apply to the following five, be alert.
| ation | Dangerous Signs |
|---|---|
| App Distribution | Apk and URL downloads |
| Register | Financial Services Agency and Finance Bureau cannot be confirmed |
| Profit display | High win rate and profit rate |
| 出金 | Taxes, Deposits and Fees |

It is important to check "registration, distribution route, and withdrawal conditions" instead of "visible" when viewing the investment app.

However, there is a possibility that numbers and graphs are not influenced by actual transactions in fake apps.
The profit on the screen may be displayed freely by the operator.

After the profit has increased, additional money may be required if you try to withdraw.

Why it’s easy toのか
This is because the screen is real.
People can see numbers, graphs, balances and profits.
| Screen | Easy to up |
|---|---|
| More Balance | Actually it seems to be profitable |
| The chart動く | It seems to be linked with the real market |

However, these screens may be directed on fake sites or fake apps.
In the investment, there is a number on the screen and the fact that the assets are actually preserved is another.
Dangerous Sign 1
The most important thing to note is that you need to install an unofficial app.
Dangerous examples are:
- App Store and Google Play
- Send APK files directly
- Download URL from SNS and LINE
- The official website, but the company information is unknown
- App name is similar to the famous exchange
If you put a suspicious app on your smartphone, it can not only damage funds, but also lead to leakage of personal information and authentication information.
Dangerous Sign 2 Unknown financial registration
In the case of providing FX trading and crypto asset trading services for Japanese residents, registration of financial instrument trading and crypto asset exchange may be required.
The Financial Services Agency is a high risk of dealing with non-registered companies, and we call them to confirm whether or not they have registered before trading.
The following are the points to confirm:
- Is it possible to confirm the registration of the Financial Bureau or the Financial Bureau?
- Is it registered as a cryptocurrency exchanger?
- Is it registered as a financial instrument trader?
- Not warned as a non-registrant
- Company name, location, representative clearly?
If the registration is not confirmed, it is important to make decisions not to use.
Dangerous Sign 3 Extraordinary High Profit
False app type makes it easy to make profits.
Dangerous words are:
- Winrate 95%
- AI Auto Trading
- profit
- Getting Started
- Warranty
- 毎日 Profit
No guarantee on investment
The higher the profit, the better it is necessary to check why the profits come out and what happens when the loss occurs.
Dangerous sign 4 Additional transfer is required before withdrawal
It is dangerous if you are required to pay taxes, deposits, fees, unlock fees, etc. in advance when you try to withdraw.
In particular, the following ways to say:
- You can withdraw if you pay tax
- If you put the deposit, the account will be unlocked
- You can withdraw if you go up to the VIP rank
- System error cancellation fee required
- Money laundering confirmation fee required
If it is a legitimate financial service, the withdrawal conditions and fees should be clearly indicated in advance.
If you want to spend a lot of money later, let’s suspect fraud.
Why are crypto assets affected?
Crypto assets can be easily transferred across borders, but it can be difficult to get back after transfer.
The following is the reason why it is easy to use on the scam side.
- Easy to transfer overseas
- You can send only the wallet address
- It is difficult to cancel after transfer
- Easy to wear overseas companies
- Easy to confuse beginners in jargon
The Consumer Affairs Agency and the Financial Services Agency are also attracting attention to the problems surrounding crypto assets and transactions with unregistered companies.
Differences from real exchanges
Compared to real financial services and fake exchanges, you can see what you need to check.
| Real Service | Fake Exchange Danger Signs |
|---|---|

| Clear corporate information | Locations and Representatives |
| Clear withdrawal conditions | Request additional costs when withdrawal |
| Official distribution route | Direct distribution of URLs and APKs |
| Risk description | Highly emphasize high profit |
It is dangerous if the company information and registration can not be confirmed if it is not visible.
Points to be confirmed by investors
Before using the investment app or exchange, check the minimum items.
