Short Answer

Is xcpkey.top a scam? Based on evidence we independently verified and screenshotted ourselves a ScamAdviser trust score of 11/100, a completely unclaimed Trustpilot profile with zero reviews despite reportedly taking deposits, and a domain registered behind a privacy shield only weeks before the case we reviewed the evidence strongly indicates xcpkey.top exhibits the characteristics of a fraudulent platform impersonating the legitimate HashKey exchange brand.

The Case Behind This Investigation

xcpkey.top appeared in our July 2026 case data (Case 1) under the recruitment name “Hashkey,” contacted via Telegram and SMS, resulting in a reported $8,000 loss. The real HashKey brand it borrows from is a genuine, Bermuda Monetary Authority-licensed cryptocurrency exchange with no connection whatsoever to xcpkey.top.

Is xcpkey.top a Scam? Evidence: Domain Trust Score

We ran xcpkey.top through ScamAdviser directly and captured the result ourselves — this is our own screenshot, not a re-reported figure from a third-party summary:

The negative indicators ScamAdviser identified: the site owner’s identity is hidden on WHOIS, Tranco traffic rank is very low, cryptocurrency services were detected and flagged as high-risk, high-risk financial services content was found, and the site’s age is very young. The only positive signals were a valid SSL certificate and a DNSFilter “safe” label — neither of which confirms legitimacy, since scam sites routinely obtain valid SSL certificates as a matter of course.

Evidence: Zero Trustpilot Reviews on an Unclaimed Profile

We also checked Trustpilot directly and captured this result ourselves:

An unclaimed profile with zero reviews is not, by itself, proof of fraud — plenty of small legitimate businesses have no Trustpilot presence at all. What makes it notable here is the combination: a platform that reportedly took deposits from at least one victim in our case data, yet has generated no public review footprint whatsoever on either major platform we checked. That’s consistent with either a very short operating window or active avoidance of public accountability — not with an established, ongoing business.

Evidence: WHOIS Registration

The domain was registered barely weeks before the recruitment activity described in Case 1, and uses the same Cloudflare-masking and privacy-proxy combination documented in our Golden Shore Finance Ltd Investigation and analyzed across multiple platforms in our Domain Registration Trends research.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is xcpkey.top connected to the real HashKey exchange?

No. HashKey Global is a genuine, Bermuda Monetary Authority-licensed exchange. We found no evidence connecting it to xcpkey.top, which appears to be using the name without authorization.

Why does xcpkey.top have no Trustpilot reviews?

We can’t state the reason with certainty, but the combination of zero public reviews alongside a reported victim case is consistent with either a very short operating window or deliberate avoidance of public review platforms.
