On Feb 19, 2025 user scammedbyff (OP) lost >0.06 BTC to a scam involving Trocador (order 1M5Z). They repeatedly demanded Source-of-Funds and KYC, which I provided. After verifying, they refused to delete or securely handle my personal data and would not disclose encryption or storage practices despite previously losing data to hackers.
They now demand my bank statement, which is illegal to provide in my jurisdiction and unrelated to the transaction or my already-submitted ID. I’ve reported the case to local police, the FBI IC3, and the UK Financial Ombudsman, but recovery prospects look slim.
Red flags:

Red flags:
- No legal registration, physical address, or operating license.
- Persistent, escalating personal-data demands (including unlawful bank statements).
- History of data loss and poor security practices.
