We've been in this market from the beginning. We've seen it all...

We have coached and taught more than 5,000 people over the last six years. More than 92% of the people who come to us say they have already been scammed before they found us.

We have worked through bull markets, bear markets, exchange failures, fake trading groups, imposter accounts, and some of the earliest crypto scam patterns before most people understood what was happening. We built the Scam Vault from that time in the trenches.

Our goal is to help you recognize the setup, slow down, and do the real research before you trust a person, platform, or opportunity with your money.

Niko Mercuris and Chad Wittfeldt. Co founders, Crypto Renegades.

Is the Scam Vault free?

Yes. There is no charge and no credit card is required. Enter your information in the form and we will email you the access link. You can start with the case file that matches the situation you are researching.

Do I need crypto experience?

No. Each case file is written in plain language and shows the setup, the warning signs, and the point where the scammer tries to gain control. The goal is to make the pattern easier to recognize whether you are new to crypto or have been active for years.

What is included?

You receive eight visual case files covering imposter accounts, fake platforms, WhatsApp traders, fake security messages, AI deepfakes, romance scams, recovery agents, and due diligence. Each file explains how the scam works and what to verify. The due diligence protocol ties those lessons together into one repeatable research process.

How is the Scam Vault delivered?

We send the access link to the email address you enter on the form. Open the delivery email and follow the instructions to enter the Scam Vault. If it does not appear within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder before requesting help.

Can the Vault prevent a scam from reaching me?

No resource can stop scammers from contacting you, and no checklist can promise that every threat will be caught. The Scam Vault helps you recognize common patterns and research people, platforms, and offers more carefully. You still need to slow down and make your own decision before sending money or connecting a wallet.

Is this financial advice?

No. The Scam Vault is educational content about common crypto scam patterns and due diligence. It does not recommend an investment, platform, trade, or financial decision. You remain responsible for researching any opportunity and deciding what is appropriate for you.

Know the pattern before you send the money.
