Hello everyone, and how is it going? I hope you all are doing okay out there. I'm stressed out with all the stupid shit going on with my country. Plus, at every turn, it seems like motherfuckers want to play around with people's money. Fucking with my money is like fucking with my emotions LOL. This is one of those motherfuckers we will be talking about in this article. Sadly, I have been super behind on a lot of things, and this is one of those articles that needs to get done like way behind. TT
Scams are everywhere, and as most of you return visitors know, I have been writing about these for a while, at least in the online earning world. The scams are so bad that I am working on trying to do a lot more. This being said, I am doing a wider range of scam investigations outside the online earning and crypto worlds. I have already set up policies for how we test and investigate such online earning/crypto projects. See here: https://www.thoughtsofeverything.org/the-legals-terms-and-privacy-policies-directory-page/thought-of-everything-earning-program-apps-crypto-investment-projects-disclaimer/. This is more or less saying let us do the testing. Elite sites are more trusted and having policies in place that all staff will follow when we write about this stuff. But anything can become a scam, as you will see below.
Either way, I have been a one-person team on this for a while, so I know I follow the above guideline as I wrote them LOL. The scam I am going to discuss here is one I have been testing since somewhere around 2020. The project is called CryptoTab Browser and is even a registered business that is scamming people. The project was even on my paying list for a while, but didn't move up at all to my elite list due to the inconsistent payout wait times and excuses that the Bitcoin network is overloaded, when I had other Bitcoin transactions go through fine.
I also had one of our Thoughts Of Everything Facebook page followers state that they were ripped off by CryptoTab. I told them to bring me the evidence. They never did. I wrote about this and provided a screenshot in my last CryptoTab post here: https://www.thoughtsofeverything.org/cryptotab-browser-is-being-moved-to-my-watched-list-due-to-payment-issues/ when CryptoTab moved to my watch list. At that time, Cryptotab was paying me, actually up to my 44th payment. Like I said, I have been testing the project for a while and actually, I have written quite of few blog articles for this website.
All the Tag cloud tags here: Cryptotab, CryptoTab Browser, and CryptoCompany OÜ, which is the name the business is registered under. October 25 2025 is when I placed them on my watch list due to waiting for a payout of 0.00001883 BTC since Feb 9, 2025. October, 6, 2025 is when I contacted them via their support ticket form about my withdrawal. This was the response I got back:

Didn't hear a word back after that. Then again, I replied to the above email on Mar 10, 2026. Mind you, my above payment was still pending and had been over a year now. Nothing back on that email, but a new ticket was opened, I believe, and during this, my payment was canceled, and stuff move all the fuck over. I couldn't even find my payment history for a minute. I found it canceled and moved to a different area called affiliate earnings, I believe. See my email below in the blockquote.
CBH-513627 I have been waiting for payout over a year. I have contacted you guys.That reply replied back and have not heard anything back.

After that, the withdrawal minimum was changed. Actually, them changing the minimum payout was a common thing after a while. Wasn't like that in the beginning. Withdrawal now is super high and seems to force you to use NCWallet, which is also owned by the same company as CryptoTab. My mining balance and affiliate are separated, so my previously earned earnings in my canceled payout would take longer because of right now, I'm no longer promoting the project; other users are doing the same thing. I'm active in many programs where I used to see a lot of CryptoTab ads.
Now, the only real money I lost from this project is mostly from advertising, as I really only bought the pro version a while back, and at the time, CryptoTab Pro was a lifetime version, then changed that later on, and I lost it once I bought more hash power, but I pretty much got my money back from that. Also, at the time, it seemed easier to use a wallet of choice rather than being forced to use their NCwallet.
I am NOT the only one who has issues. Thousands of complaints have been made. A simple "cryptotab scam" keyword search with your favorite search engine will show a shit ton of results. I have done an intensive testing of this project, which what I think is some strict guidelines for making sure something is legit or a scam. I will provide a full copy of my emails with date/time stamps for the above to our upgraded Thoughts Of Everything supporters.
Here are some more resources. Remember, all my old posts have a lot of information, including all possible office locations/business registration/etc in the above tag cloud links.
A law firm in the UK has listed cryptotab.farm, and cryptotab.net on their website page titled "|list of reported scam companies in 2026 see here: https://www.cryptolegal.uk/list-of-reported-scam-companies/.
Someone tried to report the scam to the Google Play Store here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/381909413/cryptotab-browser-lite-is-a-scam?hl=en, and another user complained here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/364453987/scamming-app-cryptotab-browser-ct-farm?hl=en.

You can find more stuff if you want to search more yourself, but stay away from the app; it's a waste of your time. I may come back to this later once I dig up more data. If any of you got something, please share in our comments on this post. Any data/information will help.
Don't forget if you like what I do here, you can support us by visiting here and even get a year of ad-free access plus any upgraded content we create here. See our webpage here: https://www.thoughtsofeverything.org/what-is-paid-access-and-how-to-get-it/. This type of content takes a lot of time and investigating/testing.
I'm looking into how I can help people get justice for being scammed by Cryptotab and sub-companies/tradenames, but bear with me as this is a process.
Thank you for reading, and be safe out there.
