Please don't send huge amounts to an exchange at once - even with ones I trust, I don't send more than $1k (or try not to store more than that on them).

Have you tried contacting them again, you could try doing it from a diffferent email. It might be the best course of action (before trying to track down the owners or contactingg law enforcement/a pi to do it for you)

I am not aware of this exchange it is a brand new exchange and yet there is already one scam report, it is already listed in Coinmarketcap
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/folgory/, they don't have an announcement thread here, I'm sure after posting here traders will shy away from this new exchange, unless they address this issue here and settle it.

One of the biggest scam exchange of the crypto history, they refuse to approve the withdrawals, their support is awful, their servers are down all the time, they are rude and they face constantly technical issues. If you insist on something they ban your account and your funds are lost. Those guys are for Cyber Crime Police.

First of all, sorry to hear that you were scammed by Folgory out of 2 ETH.


Why is no one in the space raising the issue? This deserves attention. Fuck these criminals
As a matter of fact, here on bitcointalk we warned about Folgory few times already, but people are not doing  proper due diligence and keep getting scammed by them. Back in February I opened topic  [WARNING] Folgory exchange offering high return+hiring thread bumping services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227706.0) where I explained why everyone should stay away form them if they don't want to loose money and I both tag their account and raised the flag. Few other topics were opened, from people that were scammed by Folgory.

As I said, I'm sorry that you lost money but if you spent few minutes on bitcointalk checking about Folgory that wouldn't happen.
