Scam Reports Other Active 20 views View on BitcoinTalk
Please note: On Jun 18, 2026, I posted a warning to the community about OctoSwap. I considered it a high-risk service because of major red flags, including a very high minimum order requirement and signs that the service didn’t work properly.

https://kycnone.com/threads/octoswap-min-amount-range-7k.2/     |      OctoSwap Min Amount Range - 7K$



Today, I found an additional scam report from a user who says they were scammed by OctoSwap and have had no funds for weeks, with the status still showing “processing” and support via Telegram/email unresponsive. The user also mentions no ETA or resolution.

User’s statement:
Quote
“Scam! No money after 2 weeks, $30k. No funds received, and still “processing.” Support on Telegram/email is unresponsive. No ETA, no resolution. Can’t understand how this service is still marked as legit. Don’t use unless you’re ready to lose money and okay waiting forever.”




I also urge Orangefren to remove their listing until this scam case has been resolved.

Note to the community from Trêvoid: Please be cautious with OctoSwap and other newly created services. Some platforms may look appealing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Earlier there were red flags such as unusually high minimum orders and signs the service wasn’t working properly. Today, we also received a new scam report: one user lost $30k and still hasn’t received any funds after weeks.

Best regards,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. If they have been holding a user's funds for weeks then without even any updates then I don't see why they should be trusted at all. Looks like they think the $30K is their price range to perform an exit scam.

You might want to drop this line in their thread for quicker action before we get more vvictims.

Sure I’ll do that.

Yes, that’s true.

Thank you for brining this to my attention Trêvoid. I'm only replying now as it's the weekend, but I immediately removed OctoSwap from OrangeFren.com. I also confronted them, but they claim no such swap ever took place.

It would be good if the user who left that review could provide some evidence that they actually sent the coins to OctoSwap.

Thanks for that warning, I usually test swaps recently but I'll never test something that has that much required minimum order.

And it's possible that they're just going to change the name, start again and will do the same tactic just to get some new victims and fresh head start. But eventually, they'll still be known to be a scam swap when someone like you and the others have seen the signs of having red flags.

Octoswap was marked as SCAM by Monerica because the order was valid order.

Yes the order was marked as valid after review by the Monerica admin.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve invited OP here hopefully he can come and post more details.

They can change and recreate it again, but I won’t let this go. I’ll keep monitoring them so they don’t scam more people. I have my own tracking list of exchanges and I run daily checks and tests. Some exchanges also won’t post threads on bitcointalk because they’re afraid of me, and they’re linked to previous scams. Even when they’re not active here, I’m still monitoring them.

Thanks to your service and I hope that you'll find them all until they stop this scamming that they've been doing and using to feed their families. It's true that some of them won't be posting here and they'll just continue to exist without having a presence of having a thread here.

Bare in mind this doesn't mean the user actually sent OctoSwap any coins, just that he created a swap and entered its ID. Monerica doesn't verify if the situation described in the review actually occurred (we do with reviews on OrangeFren.com)

Based on what was submitted, the order says "Time: Processing..." and that "Your order has expired!". There is no address in which we can see that funds were sent anywhere. We are saying it's a valid order creation and that what we see matches what the review says. But without knowing the address the user sent to and without OctoSwap responding, we are believing the report to be credible. Either party can respond and provide more information.

I never used Octoswap myself and I am not defending them in any way, but I haven't seen any evidence from the guy who accused them.
If someone actually lost $30k they need to provide more information and clarify this case a bit more.
Meanwhile, it's a good idea to remove Octoswap from listing, or add some warning sign.

I have invited that person to come here and post evidence, but until they do, users should stay alert and exercise caution. Also, please remember the minimum amount to swap is 0.11 BTC if anyone wants to try.

How often is it the case that when someone accuses an exchange of being a scam that it's false? We are always going to take the side of the user and marked them a scam.

Of course there could be more information which proves they didn't do anything wrong and it's just an expired invoice, but why put people at risk? They aren't responding, that's enough evidence to avoid them.

Funds blocked — BTC deposit confirmed, XMR never sent, all support channels dead.

Quote
Swap completed after ~7 hours, but support was unreachable the whole time.

So: not an exit scam in my case, and I want to be fair about that. But be aware of what you are signing up for — several hours with a stuck order and no working support channel except one Telegram account, on a service whose 0.108 BTC minimum makes a small test swap impossible. If you are not comfortable with that, look elsewhere.

Previous comment from a user who used the service. It’s better for everyone to be cautious. Stay safe.

Where are those quote from?
It would be nice to point to the source as well 

if they ever show up in the forum, I will be the among the first people to create/support a trust flag against them on top of leaving a negative feedback on their profile. I don't think people should risk their money on shady services yet we still have a good number of trustworthy swap services.
