Title: Is there a way to track which exchange a BEP20 address belongs to?
Post by: Cosette on May 01, 2024, 04:01:35 AM
Hello, as the title suggests, i'm trying to find out if there's a way to determine whether an address belongs to an exchange. Someone that i know was scammed and wants to know if the address used by the scammer is associated with an exchange within my country or not, so that he can take an action.
So far, the money that he sent only got transfered agan to the other address and just sit in there.


Sorry if this wrong section, trying to figure where to post this one. Will try to move it to approriate section if needed.

AFAIK, any deposit address that belongs to the exchange site would be automatically send the amounts to the exchange's hot wallet. The better if you can at least provide the addy. I think that we may also be able to help you to track it. You can track it by yourself.
If you were not seeing it being sent to the exchange site's hotwallet and im guessing if it's still on the personal wallet. It likes when you send money to the desposit address and this addy will send money deposited to the deposit address to the hotwallet of exchange site.
If you were not seeing any then we can assume if it still stays at the scammer's wallet.

I'm not aware if a country do have their own special wallets that's only used by them which other countries can't be made use of. Op I don't also know how you knew the scammers used an exchange wallet because it's as much possible that this scammers would use a decentralized wallet instead of a centralized wallet to do their shits in other to stay untraceable due to centralized exchange KYCs.

Maybe the Beginners and Help section would be more soluable for this thread.

Ah i see, i just realized when checked the address, there's address that said "Binance: hot wallet". Looks like the scammer still keeping the money in his personal wallet.
The scammer's address is :

From the past transaction, looks like he also scamming other people too.
