Fake Project Investment Scam

KuCoin deposit address through which stolen funds entered the exchange. This is a follow-up to a previously reported cluster (same victim, same case). Victim is an elderly person in Croatia, defrauded via a fake UK-registered brokerage "FlexFlume Ltd" (flexflumeltd.net; related domain flexflume.com). Contacted daily by at least four Serbian/Montenegrin-speaking men from a rotating block of Croatian mobile numbers (+385 97 683 XXXX). Shown fabricated trading gains up to ~EUR 850,000 and a forged PDF, then asked to pay a further EUR 50,000 for a fake "trading licence" before withdrawal — an advance-fee demand that exposed the scam. Total loss approx. EUR 158,100 (July–August 2026). Fund flow (ETH portion, 22.4 ETH / EUR 50,000 paid in cash at a Croatian exchange counter): 0x16cDA3E7463B8F05f12Eed0ec617183D8B2F4293 → 0x4713C5a2D5Bb60bB7E1D9B9cA5535cbf161D910E → 0x9A644fb6F01A43db3496bBbce0505F2F7874e4f4 (consolidation wallet, spiked to ~155 ETH from multiple sources) → 0x04C9D0d6B3D3432722043b4fac336aB3e4fc9e17 → this KuCoin deposit address. Deposit occurred 11 Sep 2026, 05:53 UTC. TXID: 0xfd716157cf4e48a68d9d5e164a9a378c95db62ab33f2b5263c4ab978de0f1120. Amount 23.55 ETH (~USD 58,000). Note: this address is part of KuCoin infrastructure and carries very high transaction volume; not all activity is related to this case. It is reported because stolen victim funds were deposited here and it maps to a KuCoin account with KYC data: 0xbb2A25A0918290C501f793eD12425b3B0854295A
