Staying Safe on Dinari

At Dinari, the security of our users and the integrity of our platform are our highest priorities. As tokenized assets become more popular, malicious actors are increasingly attempting to impersonate legitimate financial platforms to defraud consumers.

We have recently identified fake websites and apps operating under names like "Dinari Pro" to trick users into sending funds. This guide will help you verify our official channels, understand how Dinari actually operates, and recognize the red flags of a scam so you can protect yourself.

The Official Dinari Channels

To ensure you are interacting with the real Dinari, always verify the URL. Scammers often buy look-alike domains or use our brand name on social media to deceive you.

⚠️Warning: We do not have a product called "Dinari Pro." Any website, app, or social media account using the name "Dinari Pro" is a malicious fake.

What Dinari Actually Offers (And What We Don't)

Understanding our core business model is the easiest way to spot a fake platform.

What we DO offer:

  • Tokenized Stocks (dShares): We allow users to buy tokenized representations of traditional U.S. stocks and ETFs (like Apple, Tesla, or the S&P 500).
  • 1:1 Backing: Every dShare is fully backed by a real share held in a regulated U.S. brokerage account.
  • Stablecoin Payments: To purchase dShares, you must use supported stablecoins (like USDC) on specific blockchain networks (like Arbitrum or Base).

What we DO NOT offer:

  • We do NOT accept ETH, BTC, or other coins for direct deposits. If a platform claiming to be Dinari asks you to send Ethereum (ETH) or other coins to a wallet address to fund your account, it is a scam.
  • We do NOT solicit users via dating apps, WhatsApp, Telegram, or text message. We will never initiate a romantic relationship or unsolicited investment advice.
  • We do NOT require you to pay "taxes" or "unlock fees" to withdraw your funds. Taxes are your personal responsibility to your local government; Dinari does not collect taxes on their behalf as a condition for withdrawal.

Common Scam Tactics (The "Pig Butchering" Playbook)

Scammers use sophisticated psychological tactics to build trust before stealing your money. Watch out for these common patterns:

  • The "Romance" Hook: The scam often begins on a dating app or social media. The scammer builds a fake relationship with you over weeks before introducing a "can't-miss" investment opportunity.
  • The Fake Routing App: Scammers may tell you to use a legitimate third-party app (like the "Ult" app or a specific crypto exchange) to route your funds. They claim this provides "added security," but it is simply a way to bypass your bank's fraud warnings and get your money into a self-custodial wallet they control.
  • Fake Trading Dashboards: Once you deposit funds into their fake platform, they will show you a dashboard with fake balances and huge "profits."
  • The Withdrawal Lock: When you try to withdraw your money, the platform will suddenly freeze your account. They will demand you pay "taxes," "gas fees," or "penalty fees" to unlock your funds. Once you pay, they will disappear.

🚨Red Flags: How to Spot a Scam

If you encounter any of the following, you are likely dealing with a scam:

  • Unsolicited contact: Someone you don't know messages you about an investment opportunity.
  • Guaranteed returns: Promises of high profits with zero risk.
  • Pressure to act fast: Scammers will tell you the "opportunity is closing" to prevent you from doing research.
  • Depositing to arbitrary wallets: You are asked to send crypto directly to a random string of characters, rather than interacting with a verified smart contract or KYC-verified platform.
  • Requests for "Tax" payments: They tell you that you must pay a tax or fee before you can withdraw your own money.

What to Do If You Are a Victim


If you believe you have been targeted by a scam impersonating Dinari, act immediately:

  • Stop All Contact: Cut off all communication with the scammer and the fake platform.
  • Contact Your Bank and Exchanges: Immediately contact the bank or crypto exchange (e.g., Coinbase, Crypto.com) you used to transfer funds. Report the transactions as fraudulent and provide the receiving wallet addresses.
  • Report to Authorities: File a report with your local law enforcement and the relevant cybercrime authority in your country.
    • United States: File a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov.
  • Secure Your Devices: If you downloaded an app or software at the direction of the scammer, delete it immediately and run an antivirus scan on your device.

How to Report a Fake Site to Us

If you find a fake website, social media profile, or app impersonating Dinari, please report it to us so we can take legal and technical action (such as issuing takedown requests).

  • Report to Dinari: Email [email protected] with the subject line "Security Report: Impersonation". Include the URL, screenshots, your wallet address, your transaction hash, and any relevant details.
  • Report to Google: Use Google Safe Browsing to report phishing sites (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/).
  • Report to the Host: Use a WHOIS lookup to find the hosting provider of the fake site and send an abuse report to them.

When in doubt, verify before you send. Always ensure you are on dinari.com or app.dinari.com, and never send funds based on a link sent to you via a messaging app.
