Flasherex.com Review: Is it Legit or a Scam?
Author: Adam Collins
When a site gets a lot of attention on ScamAdviser, we are compelled to take a look to find out whether it is trustworthy. In recent weeks, there have been a lot of inquiries about Flasherex.com which prompted me to go on a fact-finding mission to determine if the site is legit or a scam.
Flasherex.com is an online platform that supposedly helps users in cryptocurrency trading. With an increase in crypto investment scams, it can be tricky to know which are legit crypto trading platforms. Join us as we uncover everything to do with Flasherex.com and help you make an informed decision.
When was Flasherex.com started?
According to the information I found in the “About us” section, Flasherex.com was started in 2018 and has grown “leaps and bounds” since.
However, according to Whois and ScamAdviser, the domain was registered in Jan 2023. This begs the question of why would they lie. Scammers usually exaggerate the age of their websites as older websites are more credible in the eyes of users.
We also noticed a roadmap that they claim to have followed from June 2018 to Aug 2022. What caught my eye were some claims that are hard to substantiate. For instance, they claim that in August 2022, they “Became the Principal Team Partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing” but I could not find anything to back this claim.
Again, this is common with dubious websites that misuse the names of big brands to further their false claims. They know most people will simply take their word for it and not do any further research.
Flasherex.com Customer Reviews
When I checked for customer reviews, I noticed a sort of mixed bag with some positive and negative reviews. On ScamAdviser, one customer claims the site is “Vey good” but does not go ahead to explain why. However, the majority of the users are critical of the site with one even claiming there is no way of withdrawing the funds.
On Trustpilot, Flasherex.com has an overall rating of 2.9 stars with mostly negative reviews. One user claims to have lost €500 while another lost €700.
This does not help to build the already fragile confidence of customers. With both users coming from different countries, it shows how far the company has reached.
Where are they located?
In the “About us” section, they list Australia Square 264 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia as their location.
But when I took a deeper look, there was no business with that name listed anywhere on that building. In fact, I found that the office space is listed for lease.
Therefore, it looks like a desperate attempt to appeal to Aussies by claiming they are based in their country even though nothing suggests that this is true. It's a common trick used by scammers who want to appear to be in a certain country to hide their true identities.
Conclusion
Overall, Flasherex.com seems highly likely to be a scam. There are a lot of characteristics that overlap with crypto scams. The site is very young but claims to have been started several years ago. They also claim to be associated with big brands which we could not verify and is likely to be false. Their listed location is an open office space up for rent/lease in Australia. The reviews are mostly negative with some users claiming to have lost money.
Customers should be cautious while interacting with Flasherex.com. There are more reputable crypto trading and investment platforms out there.

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu
So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
