Investment scam — do not deposit
Crypto trading site on a 10-month-old domain with two independent review aggregator reviews calling it a scam over blocked withdrawals. Guaranteed-returns, HYIP, and pig-butchering funnels all rely on early "profits" to bait bigger deposits. Any money you send is almost certainly unrecoverable — do not top up to unlock withdrawals.
Is vanishedblock.com legit or a scam?
Crypto trading site on a 10-month-old domain with two independent review aggregator reviews calling it a scam over blocked withdrawals.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site markets itself as a BTC/ETH exchange and uses YouTube promotions promising free Bitcoin. Two independent independent review aggregator reviews explicitly label the platform a scam and warn users they cannot withdraw deposited funds. No business registration or positive reviews were located, and the domain is only 311 days old with no meaningful traffic ranking. Clean antivirus and blocklist results are outweighed by the direct user complaints about financial loss. These factors together indicate a high risk of fraud.

Investment scam indicators
The page shows patterns common to HYIP, forex, pig-butchering, and guaranteed-returns grifts.
- Do not interact with vanishedblock.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Any money you send is almost certainly gone
These schemes pay out early "profits" to bait bigger deposits, then block withdrawals or demand a "tax" / "liquidity fee" to release funds. Do not top up to unlock a withdrawal — that's the same grift.
- If you already deposited — act immediately
Contact your bank or card issuer about a chargeback, freeze further transfers, and gather every screenshot, WhatsApp / Telegram thread, and transaction ID. Do not engage with "recovery agents" who reach out after the loss — those are themselves a follow-up scam.
