NORDECX.com is a scam. Don't go near it!
They scammed me out of £4000.
I created this website so that you can avoid a similar disaster.
This is what happened.
In January 2023 a salesman called and claimed that I had been looking at a trading website or he asked if I owned crypto, either of which might have been true.
He told me that if I used their trading platform then I would get a broker and manager who would help me with every trade.
The next day, the broker called me and explained how the system worked. They would call me every day with a new trade. All I had to do to try the system was put in £50. They were trading different crypto against bitcoin. Shortly, an assistant called me to help transfer my bitcoin (I put in £80 worth) onto their platform, which I did.
Once the funds were transfered, the broker called me and told me how to set up the first trade, which was one of the trading pairs.
It was very easy. The broker, whose name was Daan Roord, called me at a pre-determined time each day and told me which "currency" pair to buy from a set panel of options. So it would be "right close the last trade and now buy ava/btc number 11 for max balance."
A couple of times he was busy and sent an email:
During these brief calls, Daan was very kind and receptive to learning my past history with trading. He treated me well and seemed keen for me to have a good experience.
He further explained that their system was that they used influencers to recommend the daily trade, which all but guaranteed a profit on each trade.
Daan explained that the company made money by taking a 3% commission on winning trades only, so it was in both of our interests that trades were profitable.
Low and behold, over the next 10 days, every trade resulted in a 5-10% profit on a winning trade.
When my balance reached £160, Daan told me to get my initial investment back. His assistant helped me withdraw my initial funds and get my money back. In short time, I withdrew my initial £80, leaving only "play money" in the system. That way I couldn't lose money.
Now that the function of the system had been proven, Daan suggested that I needed to make some serious money, just like his other clients who had $40k or 70k in their accounts, and all I needed to do was put in £5000 to make it worthwhile.
By this time I was impressed by their professionalism and consistent winnings and I deposited £4000 which was all I could afford at the time.
Along the way there was a special offer to pariticipate in a bitcoin givaway, if only I had a minimum balance in my account.
And there was another special offer to get into the silver level and participate in a big pump and dump, for which I only needed to put in another £6000.
The daily calls continued with daily profits of between £400 and £1400. In another couple of weeks my balance was £8200, and I had 24 consecutive winning trades under my belt.
I decided to do what Daan had told me to do which was withdraw my initial investment. I withdrew £3900.
All the transactions were in bitcoin, so I entered my bitcoin wallet, processed the withdrawal and waited for the funds to show up. They never did.
Two days later I told Daan how I had withdrawn these funds and I now suspected the whole thing was a scam, that there was no money, that the trades were bogus and that he had stolen my money.
He said he was very busy but he would look into it over the weekend.
On Monday he passed me over to his IT guy who would look into it and try to find where my funds had gone.
The IT guy had me go through the numbers and characters of my bitcoin wallet and he compared them to what was entered on the nordecx site.
He showed my that there was an extra v in the wallet that wasn't supposed to be there and he tried to suggest that by using "command v" to paste the wallet address, I had inadvertently got the address wrong.
After checking that the mistaken wallet address did not actually exist on the blockchain, he assured me that the bitcoin would eventually come back to the nordecx account.
This didn't sound right but I didn't know enough to contradict him.
When I got off the call, I tranferred £80 out of my Nordecx account to my bitcoin wallet, being careful to paste the correct address. The money arrived in my wallet almost immediately.
At this stage I still had £4200 in my Nordecx account, so I decided to try again, and I again withdrew £3900. This screenshot shows the withdrawal with the correct wallet address:
I waited a few minutes and no money showed up in my account, but on the Nordecx account, the wallet address had mysteriously changed to include an extra v...
This is how they did it.
All withdrawal requests are vetted. Any significant requests for funds are denied with the vague promise that the funds will eventually show up, which they never will.
Red Flags
Things I should have taken more seriously to avoid getting scammed.
1) Nordecx.com is not 3 years old. The Domain address was registered in January 2023.
2) There are no address or contact details on the website, so although I think they are UK based, I don't know where they are based.
3) Daan Roord used a mobile number (untraceable) which was 07893928558.
4) The Whois record is hidden so again, they are untraceable.
5) I was checking the trade on charts supplied by Kucoin and Tradingview and early on, the trades Daan suggested did indeed rally and profits were real (if the trade was real, which I don't think it was.) Later on, the charts were showing a loss when the trade was closed, yet a profit still showed on the Nordecx platform. I challenged Daan on this but he said they were trading over multiple platforms with different prices.
