HBCEC

HBCEC has been flagged on the SARFund registry as a reported NFT minting drainer. Victim submissions describe a familiar pattern: an initial small deposit that “performs”, followed by escalating top-ups and a final wall when withdrawal is requested.

Common across the case file: operators operated through impersonated KYC documents and promised guaranteed returns. These behaviours, combined with demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal, are the basis on which SARFund classified the platform as a verified scam broker.

Public chatter on Telegram channel testimonials, Reddit victim threads and Quora question threads shows the same recurring complaint structure: deposits go in, dashboard “earnings” appear, withdrawal requests trigger fee demands, and contact eventually goes silent.

Filing a claim

Why details on this case stay redacted

The Recovery Partner field, victim count, and traced-wallet figures are masked on the public registry. This is deliberate: publishing partner identities or live victim counts compromises tracing operations and tips off counterparties. Verified claimants receive the partner contact privately after submitting evidence.

If you deposited with HBCEC, your case may already be on file. Submit your evidence to be matched and connected privately with the recovery team handling this matter.
