Now that Berry Max is not allowing users to withdraw their funds unless they reactivate their accounts, it seems very likely that the platform is a scam.
Though Berry Max may have seemed like a promising platform for crypto-trading initially, the platform’s recent issues and rebranding point to it being a scam. This “rebrand” is likely just a last cash-grab attempt.
Is Berry Max a scam or just a disappointing product?
Berry.im, the Berry Trading App, Berry FS Global and now Berry Max are all the same thing, and they have been marketed to consumers as a crypto-trading platform.
However, since May 2023, users have been experiencing endless problems with the platform. First, some users could not access it at all, then users could no longer withdraw funds.
Now, the platform has been completely rebranded and requires a reactivation fee to access. At this point, it seems highly likely that Berry Max has been a scam all along.
In fact, it is very likely that this “re-launch,” which is meant to improve the platform in terms of interface and booting issues, is just the next way for the platform to get an extra $50 USD out of users who are trying to retrieve what they invested in the platform initially.
Chances are, they will shut down the website and re-start elsewhere.
The latest Berry Max update
If you visit the Berry.im platform now an “Announcement on Berry M&A Upgrade” pop-up appears.
This announcement explains that all users will have to reactivate their accounts before 20 May 2023 (which will cost $50 USD), so that the platform can have “accurate user volume data” to work with.
It is also noteworthy that no actual withdrawals can take place on the platform, even if you have paid the $50 to reactivate your account, until this supposed audit has been finished.
All clues point to Berry Max being a scam
The fact that the platform suddenly decided to suspend all accounts (and now requires a fee to reactivate them) is not the only thing that points to suspect business dealings.
Berry Max, unlike other well-known crypto trading platforms like Kraken or Coinbase, has no social media accounts, not to mention the fact that the platform only has a 2.4 out of 5 TrustScore on Trustpilot.
What experts expect to happen moving forward
BehindMLM has explained that Berry Max will most likely continue to try and get as much money as possible out of users who stick around after this re-launch.
The platform has already introduced a new VIP Membership program, which will charge members up to 500USD for exclusive benefits.
But it is highly likely that the website will go offline before you ever see these benefits or withdraw their remaining funds.
