Cyper Wallet Scam: Locked Digital Gold Crypto Product

The Cyper Wallet case began not with an investment advert but with a used-car listing. A buyer who said "I am a US citizen" showed interest in a listing on Sahibinden (a Turkish classifieds site); although the car was never sold, the chat continued on WhatsApp and the subject was steered to a crypto investment product called "Dijital Gold" (Digital Gold).

🚩 From the Listing to the Locked Wallet: Step by Step

1. Contact is made with the seller of the listing under the identity of a "foreign buyer".
2. The chat moves to WhatsApp and trust is built; the investment is staged to look voluntary.
3. The user deposits USDC into Cyper Wallet.
4. The balance is moved "for security" to a cold wallet and then to the "Dijital Gold" (Digital Gold) product.
5. When a withdrawal is attempted, a "Withdrawal is blocked" warning appears, and no deadline or route for a refund is given.

🔍 Traces Identified

The same "Dijital Gold" (Digital Gold) product also appears, together with withdrawal blocks, in records from different people in August 2026. We covered this product earlier in our article on the Digital Gold crypto walletTR; Cyper Wallet is the wallet interface through which this product is offered. The similarly named Safe Wallet (greenbit.fit)TR is a different scheme.
