I was minding my own business on Telegram when some random guy messaged me. It's the same old story - he claims that his bitcoin was stuck on some unknown exchange due to his citizenship and asked me to help withdraw it for him in exchange for a 15% cut. He then provided the URL of this exchange. https://imgur.com/gallery/ljNi9lX

Based on the story alone, it's the usual honeypot scam. 100% of the time the 'exchange' will ask you to pay a certain fee to be able to withdraw coins. This is all fake - there is no actual bitcoin on that exchange. Besides, no exchange would have their domain be registered for only one exact year anyway. I simply wish to make more people aware of this sort of scam. Do not fall for it.

Old Scam school.
I tried to search for the phone number connected to that site and found this ---> https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/noevalley (check location)
This address differs with that in their address in the map.

https://cryptozenx.com/terms
You can find many similar pages, they have changed the company name.
He will back with a new account/site so be careful with the unknown DM in Telegram.
