Title: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: TheWolf666 on May 12, 2021, 01:42:17 PM Hi
I am not sure if I am dealing with scammers, but I am dealing with a big exchange right now, and they are asking me to deposit cash as a security deposit, that is refundable the next months. It sounds like a scam to me (are they going to run with this money and never list my coin)? Is it a current practice? Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: harizen on May 12, 2021, 01:49:59 PM Never heard of an exchange asking for a refundable security deposit in coin listing but if that's a big exchange like you mentioned, I don't see any problem with that as no way they will put their name on becoming sh*t as it will ruin their reputation. But anyways, can you disclose in public the name of the exchange? We can get a better response from the community if the name of the exchange will be mentioned. And are you sure you are dealing with their legit representative? Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?

And are you sure you are dealing with their legit representative? I have actually dumped the people I was talking too, because of suspicion of scam. The exchange was Bithumb. I also doubt that big exchanges would charge a security deposit of 4 BTC (lot of money) and refund it later. I guess that once you have sent the 4 BTC, you will never heard about these people. I do not have 4 BTC anyway, so the discussion was over. But I am still doubtful, I haven't seen articles or reports about these kind of practices, so if it is a sophisticated scam, it is good to report it here and let people know, to avoid some people losing all to these scammers.

Post by: ryzaadit on May 12, 2021, 04:02:45 PM -snip- The only problem did you contacted "Bithumb" via their official website or not? If, yes then that the process of their listing agreement. If you got contacted by a random person on a telegram saying they can listing your token to some exchange and you give an email so he can send you some email for an official proposal. This could be lead to a scam attempt, so always make sure you are contacted via official resource.Remember, every exchange has its own procedure.

Post by: Nalbo on May 12, 2021, 04:08:12 PM What medium were you talking through and did you verified the communication channel? It's not a new thing for big exchanges to ask for a security deposit but that comes with a written contract of both the parties. You don't have to send anything unless its well written in your contract.
The official contacts for communication relating to listing a coin in Bithumb is listing@bithumb.pro Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: jossiel on May 12, 2021, 08:39:45 PM Check the contact that has been contacting you and go to the official website of the exchange and talk to their rep. Just verify if they're really the ones that you're talking about and if they really are requiring a security deposit.
Usually, if that's a big amount, you really don't want to down for it as quickly as possible because you haven't done the transaction. It's best to consult the actual rep and let them know the situation. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?

Usually they aren't scammers, maybe you didn't even talk to people from Bithumb and fell victim for phishing? Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?

Usually they aren't scammers, maybe you didn't even talk to people from Bithumb and fell victim for phishing? I was contacted via Discord. Then they asked me to fill a very simple listing form at @bithumbcorp.com website. Their emails were listing@bithumbcorp.com and everything sounded legit. They said that they passed the project review (took a week). Then they created a Telegram account to ask some questions (3 people were there)... the conversation ended up talking about a deposit of 4 BTC for legal reason in case the coin has some litigation issues. This is when I felt the scam and stopped everything. It is not the first time that I am contacted by people claiming this kind of security deposit, so I immediately catched up the scam. I have since investigated the emails I received and they were forged, using "Received: from wgh24.whogohost.com (wgh24.whogohost.com [23.94.191.186])" You need to read the headers of the email to find the forgery, so it is quite a sophisticated scam, that involves several people and running for weeks. I am 100% certain now that it is a scam, I am web dev for +20 years and these are very well crafted scam, not your regular Nigerian guy. I would advise all coin developers to NEVER send BTC for listing your coin. Use USDT instead and be sure that they do an invoice from inside the exchange, that you can pay from money transfered to the exchange first. Every transaction outside the exchange is suspicious. Every transaction in BTC cannot be blocked. USDT has a way to block a transaction and restore the funds, not BTC. That's my conclusion about this event. I also was scammed by people using a kucoin domain that was using a different type of i (using ì instead in the domain name. They had re-created almost all the visual for the exchange using kucoìn.com domain. On my 4K monitor I cannot see the difference with the original domain. So guys be careful, these scams are very sophisticated even for web veterans. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: SyndicateLabs on May 13, 2021, 03:33:16 AM I have heard of such scams, and you should be wary of such related messages, if there is any problem contact their support directly.

Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: TheWolf666 on May 13, 2021, 08:05:18 AM Can you name an exchange to investigate? But I, who have a small trading volume and also trade in several exchanges such as Binance, c-patex and graviex, usually have not received any money from me as a deposit and I suspect that this is a scam project. Exchanges are fine, the problem is coming from scammers who are impersonating an exchange in a very sophisticated way. Scam projects are easy to detect, just check their news, website and community. As for FRANC, we are doing crypto for +3 years (was Kryptofranc before) did our own blockchain that was working 2 years, and now we are doing this https://wolfonlinekingdom.com a social network with an economy based on crypto. That's a lot of time and work put into a token. Now some fancy projects with many people involved are scams, as you don't need to have a company with 10 people in an office to have a great project. These videos and fake websites are built for $20k paid to some Eastern countries. They handle everything for you, the 300 pages audit, the actors playing the CEO, the fake Linked-in etc... So mainly the project itself is the only real thing that can separate scams from reality. I agree that it is confusing for every one. And for us who are working on a real project, it is even harder to fight in this toxic environment. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?

Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: mobtc on August 01, 2021, 01:21:27 AM This is a scam. It’s safest to keep your own money on the Internet, why don’t you go to a large exchange if you want to trade. Nowadays, many small exchanges are unreliable, it is easy to cheat your money.
I recommend you to go to exchanges like Binance. They have multiple password protection measures to ensure that your account will not be stolen or even deceived.

I highly doubt that.
I also did some investigations and found this: https://medium.com/bithumb-official-blog/notice-notice-of-rumors-and-impersonation-and-fraud-related-to-bithumb-listing-909c543890d6 And as confirmed by them, there are no fees in listing. Quote Bithumb does not require a listing fee for any reason, such as security audits or deposits, and rumors of listing fees or listing costs are not true.

It sounds like a scam to me (are they going to run with this money and never list my coin)? Is it a current practice? I haven’t listed my token on exchanges yet, as I don’t have such a big experience to create my own coins, but I haven’t heard about asking for a deposit before. Nevertheless, if you are sure about this exchange (you said that it was big), there is no point for you to worry. This step from exchange might be quite reasonable. If your project is a scam they might pay for it to users. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: roosbit on August 11, 2021, 02:15:19 PM Listing on most centralized exchanges is some sort of a service to you, so there is no way this can be a refundable unless otherwise.
Op if you dealing with a big exchange try to get in touch with customer service via email or live chat if available and they will advise from there, hope you not contacting these guys through telegram or something as these are infested with impersonators and you don't want to be scammed. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? Post by: Shallow on August 16, 2021, 10:48:03 AM I might not know much about coin listing but I believe most exchanges have coin listing form or processes lined out on their website. You should be careful of Telegram though don't know if that is where your chat or research started from, because scammers keeps looking for ways to scam and they are willing to go any length for it.
My suggestion would be to, go to coinmarketcap to get the right website of the exchange and if possible their telegram or discord group is also there, nevertheless visit their website, check the Help, FAQ, Chat, Customer service or Support section, through all these section you will be able to get the right information needed for listing of a coin. Whatever process you are presented with might be what it is, because since all exchanges are different, so is their mode of operation and so on.

A better solution, you should deal directly with exchange listing staff who showing proof as legit staff of the exchange company via either email or ID verification. All exchange has difference listing procedures. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?

To confirm that they are an official team, usually through the contact support on the site and through the Exchange's official telegram group. To list tokens on the Exchange does require a fee and the fee is non-refundable. Usually they offer several options such as multiple trading pairs and marketing bids. They generally have a proposal to offer. Title: Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit?
