Hi everyone,

I am new to this crypto world.
Has anyone ever heard of this exchange platform?

I bought some crypto last month. I tried withdraw some money earlier this week and i couldn't. The status is : under review for almost 2 days now.
I've receive an email from them this morning. That is what i received:


Your withdrawal request has been received.

Because the system has detected abnormal operation on your account, the system needs to verify the security of your account.

Please cooperate, during this time your account funds will be very safe.


Verification method: address verification

Please use your withdrawal address to deposit 9.87ETH into your Okey wallet to verify that the withdrawal wallet belongs to you personally.

Please use the address below to deposit your OKEY wallet.

After the verification is completed, the system will automatically review your withdrawal. After the verification is approved, the system will process the automatic transfer to the account.


After reading this email, i knew that this is a scam... Does anyone ever accountered this situation and how to deal with? I just want my hard working money back. Any tips is appreciated.
Also, how to report them or is there any way i can get my money back?

Thanks in advance

This website never mention here on the forum and look at their message they ask for a deposit of 9.87ETH there is no exchange that will ask for a deposit amount just to verify that you are a real user.

It doesn't even have good backlinks and reviews about this website.

So I'm sure this is a 100% scam.

Give up on trying to get back on your funds. You don't even try to know how once you get scammed tbh, to most of the time it's just impossible. If you were dealing with physical goods, maybe, but this is crypto, and it's on the internet, so it's really just impossible to get it back. As for reporting, well, there isn't really any organization you can report to but you can try to spread the word about the exchange being a scam. That's probably the limit of what you can do.

You won't get your coin back.   What you can (and should) do is forward this email to their domain registrar.

Any other forum where i can spread the word? Also, do you think reporting to the financial authority might help?
