GEMINI Crypto and Forex Scam Misusing a Known Exchange Name

The platform called GEMINI, positioned to evoke the name and corporate image of a well-known crypto exchange, steers investors towards crypto and currency investment by giving the impression of a link with a real company. This operation has no connection with the known corporate brand.
🎭 Building Trust Through a Similar Name
The fake platform uses the name of a known and established-looking brand to create ready-made trust among new investors. While victims believe they are investing in a real company, they are in fact facing an imitation whose name is being misused.
🚩 Reported Methods
- Emphasis on high and guaranteed returns before investing
- Profits shown on the account to encourage further investment
- Extra payments demanded under names such as "tax", "commission" or "verification fee" when a withdrawal is requested
- No withdrawal even after payment, followed by loss of contact
📉 Licence Status
The platform operating under the GEMINI name is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). The well-known crypto exchange has no connection with this scheme; its name is being misused. The authorisation of institutions offering investment services in Türkiye can only be confirmed through the SPK list of authorised institutions.
