On December 24th (UTC+8), QCP Capital warned the crypto community about fraudulent activities involving brand impersonation. Malicious individuals created fake accounts on messaging platforms and developed cloned websites to deceive inattentive investors.

Identified Fraudulent Operations

The criminals exploit QCP Capital’s reputation to solicit sensitive user data through unofficial channels. These attempts include fraudulent sites that mimic the visual identity and structure of legitimate portals, significantly increasing the risk of credential and fund theft.

The company confirmed that it has identified and deactivated the malicious domains involved. Fortunately, none of QCP Capital’s business operations have been compromised by the impersonation incidents.

How to Protect Yourself

QCP Capital emphasizes that it will never request account information through unverified direct messages, nor conduct transactions without prior authorization on private channels. Users should implement the following practices:

  • Always verify the official address before accessing any portal
  • Be suspicious of unexpected requests for personal data
  • Validate the authenticity of communications through confirmed official channels
  • Stay alert for websites that imitate known interfaces

This situation underscores the importance of continuous vigilance when interacting with financial platforms, regardless of how trustworthy the brand may seem.
