DANNY : DE HEK

I recently received an email that immediately raised suspicion. It came from a personal Yahoo address—antoniocornel@yahoo.com—and was written as if it were an official statement from the leadership of a defunct platform known as BEONBIT.

The email began with an all-caps welcome, spoke of gratitude for investor patience, and then delivered the real punch: BEONBIT was supposedly back, but now operating under a new name—StackPaidTrade.com.

The message claimed that all prior investor funds had been transferred to this new site, dubbed “BEONBIT Version 4.0,” and users were now expected to register again and make a new deposit in order to unlock their accounts. As someone who investigates crypto scams for a living, I’ve seen this exact script before. This wasn’t a comeback. This was the next phase of a Ponzi collapse.

A New Domain, Same Old Scam

StackPaidTrade.com presents itself as a professional real estate investment platform. According to its homepage, the company offers everything from property acquisition and development to asset disposition and investment analysis. The site includes glowing language about secure financial systems, 24/7 monitoring, and a trustworthy team of experts. On paper, it all sounds very legitimate.

But look just slightly closer, and the cracks begin to show. The website claims the company was founded in 1951, and even provides what appears to be a valid Australian Company Number (ACN): 000094342. At first glance, this might fool a casual visitor. However, that ACN belongs to an entirely unrelated business — a luxury hospitality company named LANCEMORE PTY LTD — which has absolutely no connection to StackPaidTrade or any form of crypto investment. This is a blatant case of corporate identity theft.

Further inconsistencies pile up fast. StackPaidTrade lists a Sydney office address, but their contact phone number uses a United States country code (+1), and the number itself is too short to be legitimate. The email address they list — support@stackpaidtrade.com — has no digital footprint outside of this website. There is no corporate presence, no leadership profiles, no registration as a financial entity, and no licensing information anywhere on the site.

Fake Services and Fabricated Expertise

The services page is a blend of AI-generated filler and irrelevant business buzzwords. The company claims to offer real estate development, property management, financing, and even something it calls “scrutinization,” which appears to be a confused attempt at referencing securitization. None of these services are backed by any real-world examples, case studies, or client testimonials. There are no investment portfolios, no legal disclaimers, and no documented transactions.

In one sentence, the company claims to be a real estate firm. In the next, they boast about digital marketing. Elsewhere, they talk about penetration testing and asset analysis. It’s a Frankenstein’s monster of industry jargon clearly designed to look impressive without offering any actual substance. The site reads like it was stitched together from several unrelated templates, with no actual business model behind it — because there isn’t one.

The Real Business: Recruitment, Not Investment

What StackPaidTrade is actually doing is running a high-yield investment scheme, driven entirely by new deposits. The company promises fixed daily returns between 2.0% and 4.4%, depending on how much you invest. Their plans — from the “Crystal Plan” to the “Assets-Share Plan” — offer cycles ranging from three days to six weeks, with guaranteed profits along the way. These rates are not only unsustainable — they’re mathematically impossible unless new investor money is being used to pay old investors.

And that’s the real engine behind StackPaidTrade: recruitment.

The platform offers an 8% direct referral bonus and a 3% indirect referral bonus — classic multi-level marketing tactics. It goes even further by introducing fake “leadership” titles like “Premium Investors Leader” and “Regional Manager,” with promises of monthly stipends for those who can build large enough downlines. This is not an investment opportunity. It’s a pyramid scheme dressed up in real estate language.

The Email That Exposed It All

The smoking gun, however, is the original email. It admitted openly that StackPaidTrade.com is the continuation of BEONBIT, a crypto Ponzi scheme that suddenly collapsed after months of promotion. The email reassured former users that their funds had been “secured” and migrated to this new version, and that they could regain access by making a new deposit. They even invented a fake technical term — “blockchain unlocking protocol” — as justification for this next payment.

In short: you must pay them money to get your own money back. This is a classic exit scam tactic, relying on desperation, guilt, and trust to extract one last payment from already-burned victims. No blockchain requires an unlocking fee. No real investment platform demands re-deposits to restore access. This is manipulation — pure and simple.

My Trustpilot Review and Final Warning

I posted a 1-star Review on Trustpilot sharing these concerns, being careful to phrase it within their community guidelines so it wouldn’t be removed. I pointed out the suspicious origin of the email, the unrealistic investment returns, and the lack of verifiable company credentials. I made it clear that I wouldn’t be depositing anything and urged others to do their own research.

To anyone reading this blog: do not sign up. Do not deposit money. Do not trust anyone promoting this platform. StackPaidTrade.com is not a real business. It is a collapsing pyramid scheme using a new name to extract a final round of funds from the same people it already scammed.

If you’ve already been targeted, report it to Scamwatch, ASIC, and your local cybercrime division. And if you’ve been promoting this platform knowingly — you’ve just made it onto my radar. Because I’m not just exposing scams — I’m exposing the people behind them.
