My pleasure, please vote as SCAM in the poll above in my stead, because I don't seem to have permission

I confirm IT'S A SCAM, please see my post in this other thread:

Please be safe out there!

THIS IS CONFIRMED SCAM. I HAVE BEEN A VICTIM MYSELF, please BE AWARE and READ BELOW for details.

This is my first post here, because I want to share my experience in order to save other people the trouble and money.

I was lured via Telegram into an allegedly trading arbitrage channel. The only arbitrage performed there was binance VS oqex.io.

Then I decided to try the exchange, they allow you in right away, KYC is done immediately (probably none) and you can deposit BTC immediately.

They let me execute two transactions, the first one took a long while, I think because it was authorized manually, but before executing the third I decided to investigate.

Please be aware that the exchange looks professional and completely legit! Don't let it fool you!

Here are some facts:

1. No-one from support ever replies
2. There is an "official" telegram group full of scammers trying to get you to trade
3. The Telegram group looks legit, they have 8k members and counting, so watch out!
4. The admin - @violet_oqexsupport - even writes to you, tells you that there are no limits on BTC transfers, but the anti-arbitrage bot might block you, you should pay a permanent unlocking fee to developers or deposit 25000 USD for Institutional account.
5. She sent me a shady link on tawk.to with a supposed developer on the other side, which asked for my e-mail to process the BTC unlocking fee. And... I gave the wrong e-mail on purpose, but they confirmed I was a registered customer nonetheless and I should pay to the given address. Can they at least check the database?
6. I got even more suspicious obviously and asked for contract, EULA, agreement, whatsoever to confirm the unlock before I pay, they said I'll get it after in my email. So I closed the chat.
7. After a while few people on the channel tried to incite me to invest more
8. Other people from the channel tried to warn me they're scammers and they can help get my money back for 20% fee, from a company called VibrantEagle. This is probably either another sucker scammer or a very well plotted scheme

Long story short, I got away with some little profit, a small disappointment but it could have gone a LOT worse.

I hope it helps whoever stumbles upon them and they close for good.

If some action can be taken legally, please proceed immediately if you read this! I'm willing to testify if needed.

Good luck to you all!
