If you feel rushed — stop.
Scammers don’t win by being smart. They win by making you act fast. If anyone is pressuring you to pay right now, share a code, or install remote access — treat it as a scam until you verify it yourself.
Two minutes. Zero emotion.
Don’t argue. Don’t negotiate. Don’t “finish the conversation.” Your goal is containment and proof.
Close the chat. End the call. Stop replying. Scammers keep you talking to keep you compliant.
- Do not install anything.
- Do not share screen.
- Do not click “verification” links from them.
Screenshot the entire thread: names, emails, phone numbers, domains, receipts, wallet addresses.
- Save the exact URL (copy/paste).
- Write a 3-line timeline: what happened + when.
- Keep transaction IDs if money moved.
Start with email and banking. Those are the keys that unlock everything else.
- Change email password first.
- Enable MFA (auth app preferred).
- Remove forwarding rules you didn’t set.
If you paid by card/bank: call your bank now. If you paid by crypto: report anyway (speed matters).
- Ask about chargeback/fraud process.
- Flag the merchant / recipient.
- Keep your report numbers.
Their playbook is predictable.
This section is awareness — not instructions. The goal is to recognize the pattern early and exit.
Verify official QIX links.
The only safe move is independent verification. Type it yourself. If the link you received is different by even one character — don’t proceed.
This is the only official QIX website domain. Spelling must be exact.
QIX uses an official Outseta portal for login/checkout. Verify the full URL bar before entering anything.
These are safe pages to compare against. If you were sent a different path — treat it as suspicious.
If you still feel unsure, don’t pay. Contact support from the official site menu.
Report it — official portals.
Reporting quickly can help with investigations and recovery. Use your region’s official reporting site.
If you already paid or shared info.
You still have moves. The goal is containment + documentation — in that order.
- Change your email password first.
- Enable MFA on email + payments.
- Sign out other sessions/devices.
- Remove unknown apps with access.
- Save receipts, transaction IDs, emails, chat logs.
- Screenshot the domain + page + profile.
- Write a simple timeline (timestamped).
- Call your bank/card issuer immediately.
- File reports (IC3/Action Fraud/etc.).
- Ask for a case/report number.
- Use unique passwords (password manager).
- Prefer authenticator app over SMS where possible.
- Verify domains before you click. Always.
If something feels off, pause and ask.
Don’t pay until you verify the domain and path. If you want help verifying a message or link, contact QIX from the official site.
