[SCAM] Coinwix.com Fake Exchange

[coin-investor]

but I tend to agree that some competitors may leave negative reviews but those well-known service platforms compete very well.

Yeah, reasonable if the services are reputable but in this case not.

Here is a funny fact, the exchange platform mentioned above has an article on Tips for avoiding scams.

That's their new tactics, scammers do things like this, like what can be seen in phishing scam, either via email or sms saying that someone got accessed their account, ot have suspicious activity so they need to change their password accessing to fake website to get their password.

Although there's no proof that mentioned site is scam but i won't trust them even a single cent.

I'm not going to use that platform, partly because of the bad rating on Trustpilot, the fact that their price is enticing to traders which makes it questionable, and they are unpopular and new exchange, because of the competition they should try to establish their reputation and one of this is creating an announcement here and open themselves to criticism and feedbacks.
My motivation to trade on any exchange is when in doubt I don't proceed to trade.

Regardless the reputation of this BestExchanger the fact it was labeled as scam by them and other users in trustpilot reviews makes it more clearer that its really a scam.

Maybe, but it's also about who calls you a scammer. Bitcointalk has a 2.9 review on Trustpilot. Over 50% of the posted reviews are for 1-star. If we trust customer reviews, we should all leave this forum right now. But neither good nor bad reviews mean they are true. Those who gave the forum 1-star reviews are probably butthurt scammers who got tagged, ex-members who got banned, and similar.

Yes, I agree with you. Even positive reviews for a platform on Trustpilot are not conclusive proof of the platform's credibility. These may be shill reviews by platforms and companies that regularly invite customers to write reviews to get a higher TrustScore than other platforms. Perhaps those who wrote reviews are Scammers or people who violated the platform's policy and terms, which led to their account being banned, so they return to Trustpilot to write negative reviews to harm the platform's reputation. Therefore, we cannot rely on Trustpilot or any of the review sites completely because these reviews do not indicate 100% of the truth.

I tried to browse around the website, it seems like they have some connections to Bitget according to this[1]. It is not explicit, but at the time of writing, the e-mail address linked at the bottom of the page will redirect to:

Code:

- support@bitget.com
- BD@bitget.com
- vip@bitget.com

I don't know if this connection is legit or not, or if they just copy what Bitget has. If anyone is interested they can probably ask Bitget[2]. They are neither active nor popular, to begin with, so even if they are legit I'd rather use another platform.

Looks like copy pasta to me since they should still be a different entity - don’t see anything that could indicate otherwise - and hence doesn’t add up that they have the exact same privacy policy and user agreement with just the names being different. My guess is they forgot to edit the hyperlinks when they copied from bitget.
