In the r/CryptoScams community, user foxface26 reached out for help to verify the legitimacy of the Obsidissweb platform. The post's author stated that they learned about the website from a person they trusted but now doubts their honesty. Currently, the victim has already invested $500 and is asking users to check the resource.

According to user SecureWriting8589, the website is a 100% scam. Over the last 30 days, the resource has been flagged as malicious by DNSFilter, and instances of malware on the site have also been recorded. According to user EugeneBYMCMB, no serious investor would waste time creating a legitimate trading platform with such an unpronounceable name, not to mention the fact that the website has absolutely no history or online presence.

According to user UpbeatFix7299, the site is run by the exact same person who recommended it to the post's author. They emphasized that there are no secret platforms for easy money in the crypto space and advised using only widely known exchanges.

The situation is compounded by the fact that after the post was published, other scammers started reaching out to the author. According to user foxface26, they were offered a way to bypass the withdrawal block using a tool called "bitnest bridge". According to users SecureWriting8589 and intelw1zard, any offers of help via Reddit direct messages are attempts at re-extortion (recovery scam), and such people should be blocked immediately.
