Score breakdown

Analysis Summary
Website Preview

Intelligence
The site presents itself as an instant P2P crypto exchanger for BTC, ETH, and USDT with no KYC requirements. Three detailed scam reports on cryptorussia.ru label it suspicious and cite an average user rating of 1.4 out of 5 from 253 votes. Eight user complaints mention delayed or partial payouts, hidden fees, and demands for QR codes. No company registration, license, or legal entity appears in searches or on the site itself. The domain was registered in December 2024 through NameCheap with no privacy protection, yet the operator remains anonymous. Two antivirus engines flagged the page as spam while the rest stayed clean. These combined signals outweigh the clean browser blocklist status.
