Bytesi.cc, a quantitative company, claims to be an innovative enterprise focusing on quantitative trading, but are they legit? There has been a lot of skepticism surrounding their operations, prompting us to investigate the legitimacy of BYTESI.cc. Here’s what we found:
BYTESI claims to have been founded in 2017, but a quick check on Whois.com and ScamAdviser tells a different story. The site was only registered in October 2024, raising immediate red flags about its transparency and honesty.
Scammy websites often manipulate their age to appear older because older companies tend to be more believable. Why would a company claiming such a long history only recently register its website?
One of the most concerning complaints comes from users who are unable to withdraw their funds. When reviewing their promotional video on YouTube, the comment section was filled with frustrated customers sharing similar experiences. The inability to access funds is a hallmark of many online scams, and BYTESI’s silence on the matter does little to alleviate concerns.
BYTESI states they are based in Nevada, USA. However, their reluctance to specify which floor they are located on raises suspicions. For all we know, the address could be fabricated to give the illusion of credibility. Many dubious businesses adopt such tactics to mislead their victims into thinking they operate from reputable locations. We have recently covered an infamous New York Address used by multiple scammers to dupe people into thinking they are based in the USA.
The company says it has a Nevada Business License with the ID number NV20243005333.
However, when we searched the official Nevada Secretary of State website (https://esos.nv.gov/), we found a different number: NV20243242607. This mismatch is a big red flag. If a company is legitimate, their license details should match what is on the government’s website.
Adding to the doubts, fake or inconsistent business licenses are a common tactic used by scammy companies to look more trustworthy.
It’s likely that they only included the license on their homepage to appear legit knowing few people will go the extra step of verifying the information. Without accurate license information, it’s hard to trust their claims or the way they operate. Anyone considering working with BYTESI should proceed with caution.
Scrolling to the bottom of BYTESI’s website reveals social media buttons. At first glance, this might suggest active engagement with their community. However, these buttons lead nowhere, further hinting at an attempt to appear legitimate without actually being so.
The use of dummy social media button has been common with scam websites who are desperate to appear as though they are vibrant on socials.
With misleading claims about their founding date, numerous complaints of inaccessible funds, a suspicious address, a questionable business license, and fake social media links, BYTESI.cc exhibits several red flags common in online scams. If you’re considering engaging with this platform, proceed with extreme caution and thoroughly verify their claims. Always remember: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

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
