Fake Quantum Financial System scam report form that charges a $1000 CIA inspection fee

The fake Quantum Financial System site at qfsweb3assetbackup[.]vercel[.]app includes an "Anti-QFS Scam Report Form" aimed at people who say they were scammed. On October 21, 2026 the live site showed this form at /qfs-agency. It asks for your name, email, phone number, location, the total amount you lost, the website that scammed you and the scammer's profile. It then says your report goes for "CIA inspection" and that a $1000 inspection fee is required, or you can email "Customer Care" to negotiate. The site was reported three times on October 16, 2026. The site's code sends what the form collects through an email-sending service.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. The form targets people who were already scammed, including possibly by QFS-themed sites, and presents the site as the place to report them.

  2. It names the CIA as the body that will inspect the report. The code shows only the name; it does not show CIA logos or other official design.

  3. It sets a fixed $1000 "inspection fee" and offers to "negotiate" the amount by email, which keeps the victim in contact with the operators.

  4. The form collects the person's name, email, phone number, location, total amount scammed, the scam website and the scammer's profile. The site's code sends these to the EmailJS email-sending service, which forwards them to the operators.

  5. The negotiation link opens an email to qfsweb3assetbackup[.]org@gmail[.]com, the same Gmail address the site uses for its other pages.

  6. In the site's code the form is reachable at two paths, /fra and /qfs-agency.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: After losing money to a scam, you find or are sent an offer to report it or get the money back.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The offer uses official-sounding names, such as an investigation agency, a government body or a fund recovery service.

  3. 3

    Step 3: A form asks for your name, contact details, where you live, how much you lost and the website or person that scammed you.

  4. 4

    Step 4: You are told a fee must be paid first, for an inspection, an investigation or a release of funds, sometimes with an offer to negotiate the amount.

  5. 5

✓ Do this

  • Report scams for free to the police, your bank and your national fraud reporting service.
  • If you were scammed, contact your bank or payment provider directly using the number on your card or its official website.
  • Treat any unrequested offer to recover lost money as a likely second scam.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not pay an upfront fee to have scam losses investigated or recovered.
  • Do not pay with gift cards or crypto for an inspection, investigation or recovery fee.
  • Do not give details of your losses to a website or person who contacted you first or who you cannot verify independently.
