Brilionx and Simply Bit used professional-looking certificates to gain my trust

I lost a significant amount of money through platforms using the names Brilionx and Simply Bit. Their websites and materials looked professional, and they displayed certificates that helped create the impression that the investment businesses were legitimate.

I am based in Alberta. After investigating, I came to believe that related operations were also targeting people in British Columbia and Ontario. The source account did not disclose my precise loss, so I am leaving the amount unstated rather than estimating it.

I began collecting platform names, crypto addresses, bank accounts and the contact methods used against other victims. My goal was to bring a structured body of evidence to the RCMP and provincial regulators instead of submitting another isolated warning.

The certificates were part of what made the presentation convincing. They were not the same as independently confirming a licence with the regulator supposedly responsible for the company.
