What is CoinInsider? (ConInsider to be more accurate)
CoinInsider dot com is an misrepresentative review site that is designed to scam people using intelligent misinformation. They use disingenuous reviews to persuade people to sign up to offshore, unregulated broker services who then defraud their customers.
Fake review sites have become a necessary part of the grand 'get rich quick' deception. Misrepresentation outweighs the facts online and the search engines take into account what they are instructed to interpret as human behaviour. Linking to a site means it must be good, right?
What this means is that these endless review sites are perceived to be honest simply because of how many there are. The number of fake sites sway the results of Google's search engine because it has no understanding of misrepresentation, and can only follow simple rules to detect foul play, like plagiarism and suspicious web servers etc. This means that if you start handing out affiliate fees to anyone who can be bothered to write a few fake reviews, then you can persuade Google that you are a legitimate site.
This is exactly what we see with sites like CoinInsider, who (just as the scammers do) claim that they are concerned with Bitcoin, when they have almost no material relating to crypto currencies at all. They have reviews of traders and CFD bookmakers but do not distinguish between these and the alleged crypto trader platforms, none of which appear to actually exist outside of being a scam. They write fake reviews of these alleged automated trader software bots, that they know do not exist, and then they fill the reviews with links to these fake bots, along with their affiliate codes. This means that Google processes the sites as popular, and CoinInsider get affiliate fees when anyone clicks the links.
What this means is that careful, diligent people who check reviews and look out for where sites rank, and who only deal with legitimate firms, are being ripped-off by these affiliate scammers, who are taking advantage of people through Google.
The automated trading software that the ConInsider site advertise are a scam and do not actually exist, as the authors of CoinInsider well know. The misinformation used to influence the naive are obvious and intuitive; these are the emotions that con-artists use - encourage fear, greed, misery and doubt to make you leap before you look. What would take a few minutes to do on a site like coininsider can affect you for years to come, giving these con-artists your contact details takes just a matter of seconds.
Here is an example of the way all of these site conduct 'reviews' They always start with the same question:
Is CoinInsider a scam or legit?
Something you need to understand, to realise what CoinInsider is, is that these CFD 'brokers' that they sell you, are not just any old broker. They are offshore, unregulated spread-betting/leverage/CFD companies that have no connection whatsoever with the UK, USA or Australia. This means that even if you win, they may well not pay up. They use services like cloudflare, so you will not be able to find their server addresses. They hide their domain registration details, so you will not be able to discover their names. They hold an 'offshore' company registration, such as in the Caribbean. This means you will not easily be able to bring a case against them, as all of their letters are passed on by mail forwarding services on St Vincents and the Grenadines. Their business model is to defraud people - any company that claim they can recover your money are recovering from your bank rather than the culprits. The scammers win no matter what, in reality the recovery companies help the scammers extort the banks.
CoinInsider are a part of this machine - they perpetuate the lies that magic trader robot softwares, exist and can make you money. It is not even impossible that the recovery companies, the fake review sites and the scammers are all one and the same group of scammers, they certainly all seem to operate the same sorts of tactics.
Recovery companies take extra fees for recoveries, which means that even if they recover your money from your bank through reversing card transactions, you have now paid a percentage to a company that has appeared as legit, but the scammers still have all of your money. What this means is that the recovery companies are the only people that get you money, the scammers just get money from your bank that the bank then has to use their insurance to cover. The recovery companies cost the scammers nothing, so they are happily coexisting, without taking any share of the market from each other.
We would suggest that you don't give them your contact details or they will make you understand the harm all your money with unregulated offshore scammers can do to a family.
How to lose your first stake with scammers reviewed by CoinInsider
Here is a step by step guide to opening an 'account': once they have your details you are in serious trouble, here is what happens.
1. Registration
The first step of the scam is to get you to give away your contact number After successful 'registration' you will be terrorised by telephone morning, noon and night as part of their 'set-up' process, and believe us, it is a set-up.
Then they try to assure you of their security: CoinInsider have taken all the necessary measures to ensure user data is shared amongst all of their criminal buddies, including Russian, British and Australian thieves.
2. 'Demo' Account
As previously stated, the demo account can be used fool people into thinking that MT4 or MT5 spread betting is easy. Once you sign-up for the 'demo' account, you will be targeted non-stop, because now they have your details. They will actually phone you hundreds of times with desperate scammers who are being pressured into defrauding you
3. Stake
Once you’ve been deluded by the demo account you can now move on to the live account. All you need is an initial £250/€250 stake and they have you. Again, ConInsider do not suggest a minimum investment for your first try, which is ridiculous as the smallest gamble for your first live trial would obviously be best. Now that the scammers have your details from your deposit, and know you have money, they will pester you to the point of madness by which time you will give them £30k. The payment methods accepted are Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, American Express and Discover Network, and you will never see your money again.
Can you make money with CoinInsider?
There are many reported successful scammers on the web. Scammers report satisfying results to encourage people to sign up for spread betting, even those who have never bet before are persuaded to do business with an offshore & unregulated CFD 'broker.' They are trying to get your contact details to sell you CFD spread-betting, which is best described simply, as on-line fraud.
A few helpful tips for investors starting out
To minimise the risk of losing funds, for goodness' sake, do NOT fill in any forms with your contact details :
- Check the bottom of the website first, is it a scam? If it mentions CFDs then just run.
- They just want your details - the first deposit is a minimum of £250/€250. This amount of money is enough for the scammers to know you have funds and that you are worth terrorising for more money.
- There is no real platform so you cannot earn a profit, you just get signed up for MT4 or 5 CFD spread betting which is extremely financially hazardous. Every app of theirs we test has no trading feature, just a feed to the latest cryptocurrency prices.
- Do not reinvest- more money is made by the scammers when people reinvest after the first withdrawal. We do not suggest reinvesting some of the earnings made initially, as if you receive any it will just be a set-up for a larger scam. (Notice that coininsider claim they do not give financial advice at the bottom of their page, yet they advise you to reinvest.)
- Learn from the experts - you will quickly see that no one advises retail users to spread-bet on ForEx CFDs. 80% of all retail accounts lose all the money they wager.
Key features of the CoinInsider
All registered users are given access to the dangers of 'automated trading' software, which in reality are just MT4 spread-betting tools. The idea that these systems are automated, of course, encourages the least experienced victims to sign-up for this scam and CoinInsider get their affiliate fees. After which, the scammers earn revenue from the high volume of cash extracted by this ongoing fraud.
Here are some key features of CoinInsider:
- Brokers– Once registered, you will be terrorised by a bunch of scammers. If they get your details you will need to change your number.
- Auto trade feature– No AI software has an auto trade feature which allows the automated system to perform transactions and make money. The MT4/5 companies banned all the algorithms years ago. All the spread better can do is to put certain limits in place to determine the volume of cash lost on the system. Considering the volatile nature of the CFD ForEx market, we suggest that the potential victim find a better way to invest their money.
- Performing trades-. There are no trades, these people are bookmakers looking to harvest your details through deception. A trade mans you own commodities to sell, this is just gambling.
- Verification processes: It is mandatory that every potential investor goes through the verification process to ensure the scammers have a real phone number and bank account to rape. The process is quite horrible, as long as the correct email address and contact details are given, you will be terrorised.
- Withdrawals and deposits– After initiating a withdrawal, the system processes the request which means absolutely nothing, they are just playing for time whilst you slowly realise you are the victim of fraud. The amount due to the victim still won't have been deposited into your account 24 hours after making the request. This is a sign to the scammers who now know that you know you've been scammed. Now they will just avoid you.
- Payment methods– There is a range of payment options available to make deposits as easy as possible, but you will never see your money again.
- Cost and fees– it is reported (in other words they make no promises) that there are no hidden fees or charges to the account before or after withdrawal. (But it does say you could lose all of your money at the bottom of the page.)
- Customer services– There is a 24 hours customer support function available to victims for the first few days to get you comfortable before they sting you.
Advantages of spread betting with CoinInsider's offshore unregulated scammer mates:
As we have discovered, there are some unique features to CoinInsider. Many crypto trading applications are scams as you really just trade Cryptocurrency using Changelly, not this nonsense.
Here are 6 advantages of spread betting with the advice from CoinInsider:
- Hassle-free setup - the scammer phone calls and unique set of lies as well as the fact that setting up an account is a seamless process all contribute to getting as many novice traders tangled up in their scam as possible.
- Impressive success rate - it is reported that investors could achieve a success rate as high as 88%, depending on the blah-de-blah.
- Demo account - the demo account is designed to fake profits. The telephone terrorist or 'broker' will help you add lots of money to the system until you are 'broke.'
- User-friendly- it is a very complex scam, as the actual technology they are promising to connect you with does not actually exist.
- Has an App – There is an app but it’s not available in all countries.
- Trade forex – not only can you not trade cryptocurrencies using the software, it also allows you to trade forex pairs.

✔️ Other trading actually grants you ownership of real commodities that are worth something even if they go down in value. |
❌ CoinInsider claims to have a success rate of 88% but in actuality 80% of all retail accounts lose their money. |
✔️ Other trading is done by millions of people who can give you decent advice. |
❌The minimum amount to start off with is £250/€250 but they will terrorise you until you deposit all your money. |
✔️ Other crypto currency can allow you to buy stock rather than just ripping you off with CFD bookmakers. |
❌Registering is a seamless process because this is a scam. Real traders want 2FA and other security systems. |
✔️ Other trading applications allow you to buy and sell real shares. |

✔️ Other trading platforms have a real connection to stocks and shares, which means you're not just being ripped off by these monkeys. |
Has CoinInsider been featured on TV?
Here is a very typical tactic used by the scammers and their fake review affiliate partners. Even though this is so obviously a scam and that no one on TV would ever admit the existence of these scammers except in an expose documentary, CoinInsider will go over every part of the story as if it merits analysis, with a link to every scammer at every opportunity:
There have been numerous reports that the CoinInsider has appeared on TV shows such as Dragon’s Den, This Morning and Shark Tank. If you're not completely insane then you can see that this is just the scammers trying to get attention.
We investigated all the claims about which TV shows CoinInsider was featured on, here are the results:
Dragons Den
Shark Tank
Has CoinInsider been featured on Dragons Den?
Dragons Den is a famous British show where aspiring business people are given 3 minutes to pitch their business idea to a panel of successful business people in the hope of getting investment to launch and take their business idea to the next phase. Any product associated with this show would gain overnight success. We have not found any link between CoinInsider and Dragons Den. NO
Has CoinInsider been featured on Shark Tank?
Shark Tank is an American investment show similar to Dragons Den. Entrepreneurs are given a few minutes to pitch their idea to a panel of millionaires in the hopes that these millionaires will invest money in their idea. If CoinInsider had the support of Shark Tank then its safe to say that it would be all over the news, however it is highly unlikely as CoinInsider is not licensed in the states. CFD 'trading' (spread-betting) is outlawed in the states to protect people from sites like CoinInsider. NO
Has CoinInsider been featured on This Morning?
This morning is a British daytime television programme on ITV that has been active since 1988. The show is a mix of celebrity interviews, show business news, topical discussion, competitions, health etc. If CoinInsider were to be featured on this show, millions of British people would be reached, and social media and news would be flooded with news, questions and hashtags about CoinInsider on This Morning. NO
Has CoinInsider been endorsed by celebrities?
There have been claims that CoinInsider has been endorsed by international celebrities. We decided to investigate each case where a celebrity has been link to CoinInsider or any other crypto trading application. NO
Does Gordon Ramsay Support CoinInsider?
Of course he bloody doesn't. He is a chef and knows nothing about cryptocurrency, so any rumours suggesting such are false. NO
Does Peter Jones Endorse CoinInsider?
Peter Jones is a British businessman and so makes sure to stay clear of being associated with anything that may lose people money, especially fake review sites like CoinInsider. NO
Does Elon Musk Endorse CoinInsider?
Elon Musk is quite busy at the moment and does not give advice about investing in crytpocurrencies. NO
Does Trevor Noah Recommend CoinInsider?
Trevor Noah is a South African comedian, political commentator, actor and the host of the popular American talk show, The Daily Show. Do you really think he would use a retarded scam review site like coininsider? NO
Does Kate Winslet use CoinInsider?
Kate Winslet is a famous British actress known for her work on Titanic and Extras. An actor or actress is not a sound basis for making serious financial decisions. NO
Holly Willoughby and CoinInsider?
Holly Marie Willoughby is a British author, model and TV presenter on This Morning and Dancing on Ice. Like the other celebrities on this list there have been claims that she supports advanced crypto trading application but this is obviously ridiculous. It does help prove that Bitcoin trading software is a scam though, as the owners of Bitcoin Evolution, Bitcoin Revolution etc. are obviously the ones circulating these lies. NO
Although none of these claims would ever be true we have made a list of celebrities who have invested or have endorsed cryptocurrencies. Also note that the above claims were not made by the creators of CoinInsider. (Oops yes they were.)
