Is bittradexchange.com legit or a scam?
Fake crypto exchange with all prices stuck at $0 that pushes browser notifications for spam ads.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Crypto-investment warning signs
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Treat bittradexchange.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
