Indian scammers try to trick businesses into paying $495 fee for fake nominations.
They send an unsolicited email that your business has been "nominated" and you should act fast (the typical marketing principle of urgency) because they need to meet their deadline to "finalize the nominations/press coverage list". The downside is this fake nomination has a $495 fee (the scammers can live for 2-3 months on that money). <br />

If you do a little digging you will find these are known scammers who are already blacklisted and I doubt the victims will ever get even a link after payment. They fake their identities by using pics and names of Caucasian ladies but they are most probably all males. <br />

Here are the blacklist reports<br />

Crypto scammers, the website was registered on Dec 5, with no company physical address or registration. All the addresses they display point to company registration offices.

Not a company. It's a sketchy website 3 months old only, with no traffic, no active users. A scammer will call you to say they found your lost crypto funds and won't send them to your wallet but you have to create a wallet and get verified on their sketchy website (Identity Theft). Next they will come up with a lame excuse that your funds are blocked for money laundering so you have to pay the authorities a fee!! No authority will charge for a fee or a KYC check.
I have been the victim of an investment/trading fraud scheme amounting to 12K of losses by an allegedly Swiss-based company that I've found to be non-compliant and fraudulent. The name of the company is Weinsteincorp (https://www.weinsteincorp[removed by editor]/) and advertised on FB and IG as Quantum AI. <br />
It's a honeypot, you put money in they don't allow you to withdraw and devise all kinds of fake expenses to release your money that they can't justify or produce any documentation.<br />
The scammers have illegally impersonated a collaboration with the Bank of Ceylon and have infringed the copyright of BoC (already busted from communication with the bank managers).
I've submitted a form to [removed by editor] money from scammers and the website plus the people who responded representing them proved to be also scammers!!
They went so far as to appear as a lawyer group from the Czech Republic, fake lawyer under the name of Eric Miller who couldn't speak a word in Czech, and faked Coinbase emails sent from Russian mail servers and documents to provide fake account balance to try to get money from me for an allegedly refundable transaction. Beware of scammers, check email headers, ask for their IDs, and always report them to save future victims.
