Title: 2 exchange have the same appearance (bitxmi & ffex.pro)
Post by: cloudfir3e on April 17, 2020, 06:43:41 AM
Seeing these 2 exchange, I was confused. They have the same appearance
But, do you think it's reasonable if I suspect that ffex.pro exchange is a scam?

This is display of exchange ffex.pro (I will not include the link

And this is display of exchange bitxmi

After seeing this, what do you think of these two exchange?

Where did you find this “ffex” exchange? Never heard of any of them but after some googling, found some links and mentions to them (not enough though) and some kind of airdrop. Apparently, the Bitxmi one is developed by this company (which I can’t really confirm): https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/chainup

You shouldn’t be using any of them anyway, since there are plenty of good and trusted exchanges in the market. No need to risk with unknown new exchanges that may not even have any volume.

edit: I guess this explains why they both are basically clones. They are using ChainUp’s whitelabel exchange

There are many possibilities.


1 Probably an exchange script and both uses the same theme.
2 Both are own by single entity
3 Privatelabel


There are users who mentioned bitxmi already in the forum and bitxmi was already labeled as scam.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5143031.0

If they both have similar look, the higher the change of it owned by one team.

I found ffex.pro exchange on the airdrop telegram channel, Ffex held an airdrop where all participants had to do KYC. And what I'm afraid of is that the KYC data will be misused by ffex.
Someone tried to do KYC on ffex, but was always refused and ordered to do KYC again.

I have asked Bitxmi, they answered if they did not cooperate with other organizations.
if bitxmi is said to be a scam, but bitxmi is listed on coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitxmi/

Two different domains name but the same IP:

Code:
IP Address	157.185.145.96 - 1,483 other sites hosted on this server

http://whois.domaintools.com/ffex.pro

Code:
IP Address	157.185.145.96 - 1,483 other sites hosted on this server

http://whois.domaintools.com/bitxmi.com

And probably the same intention, to scam crypto traders here, they can be listed on coinmarketcap but it doesn't mean that they are not going to scam or pull off a exit scam.

No doubt that both exchange is controlling by same person and reputation of bitxmi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5143031.0) isn't  good enough that anyone can trust them. Both exchange is similar in design, script and their domain holder have same IP.  So its proved that the person who is working behind both website is same. I hope everyone who know about "bitxmi & ffex" will keep enough distance.

And probably the same intention, to scam crypto traders here, they can be listed on coinmarketcap but it doesn't mean that they are not going to scam or pull off a exit scam.
Intention behind running multiple exchange with same script and design isn't so charming and they wanna make traders fool with two different domain. I don't think professional traders will fall for this kinda cheap trap . Scammers like that always hope to get new crypto traders on their platform and its quite easy to make them fool rather than experienced one.

Bitxmi have their account on bitcointalk. Account was  last active on January 24, 2020.
Here it is: Bitxmiexchange_official (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2714216)

Note: "OP" you should give them a PM including your topic link and i wish to hear some lines from their end.

Obviously high risk of scam.
As @Jating showed in previous post, they are using same IP, and they are all based in China

Chances are that they "refused" the KYC but stored all the personal data you sent them. Then, they will use your KYC or sell in a darknet market. Doing KYC for airdrops is the dumbest thing. They will hardly be worth anything and you are basically selling your personal data. :P

Hiya

Bitxmi is nothing to to with other exchange

We use WL and maybe other exchange uses the same WL and Hosted by same Servers.

We are Singapore based Crypto exchange and have offices in Dubai, London and Antwerp Belgium

Thanks

Team BitXmi

^^ What are the chances that similar looking websites using the same WL are listed on the same domain's IP addresses? But whatever fits your agenda, obviously, members here are not that dumb though and have seen this sort of strategy before.

If there is no connection with another exchange, but why the same IP domain?
Can you explain the details so that we here can find out everything
