One of my friend got scammed for $2000 and here is how it happened.
I have no idea from where he found this exchange i never even heard of it but he got interested in that because $SOL was trading there at $139 while the original price was $129. He thoughts its a good opportunity to make some money. He decided to test it with $1000. He bought sol on Binance at $129 and deposited into that exchange to sell it for $139.
Luckily he was able to take the withdrawal. Then greed kicks him he bought Sol again for $2000 and deposited it back to that exchange. Now his $2000 is stuck there and that exchange is asking him for another $1000 for verification purpose so they will proceed the withdraw. Its 100% a scam for sure.
I tried to find information of that exchange on X and google, i found nothing. Not sure how he found it but his $2000 are now gone.
Never ever trust any exchange that is not reputable and have no background. Doesn't matter how good the opportunity is the chances of you getting scammed are way more than you'll actually make money. Personally i only trust Binance for the safety of my funds.
