Cex.io warning. It's a #scam exchange.

[cbreum]

Stay the hell out of Cex.io.  Be aware that the KYC goes fine, but after a while where you start trading with "higher" amounts they suddenly require you to fill in your salary, source of income, your wife name and how many dogs you have Big Grin

Now my cards have been rejected because I refused to tell them my salary information

"Payment Card Verification Rejected"

I posted on twitter to my 18.000 followers...lol.. and wrote them this:

"So sad because of your stupid requirements for salary information. Well my 18.000 followers are notified.

Since when did kyc require source of income, wife's name, salary and pet info?

I don't know the real score about Cex, but I am seeing 4 scam threads about CEX. I think this should be consolidated and if the accusations are strong there should be a flag raised to this to see who support and oppose this I seldom see one exchange having a lot of bad reports here another one is Yobit.

Recent ones?
It would be cool if you listed them here to.

So to OP, did they lock your funds? If they did not then i think it's not scam and the scam accusation wasn't necessary, If otherwise, the apologies.
Also, If their KYC conditions are too harsh on you then i would advice you get a suitable exchange 
Personally am not a fan of KYC too so i avoid such exchanges as much as possible.

Dear cruso,

Thank you for your question.

The list of documents needed to pass the AML/KYC procedure complies with international requirements and regulations.
You may rest assured that all data can be requested only with a reason for that. The aim of these procedures implemented is to ensure safe and operational trading environment.

In an imagined scenario, a platform without proper Verification Procedures implemented put its customers to a huge risk: police investigate potential money laundering on an exchange and, since such exchange cannot demonstrate that it has checked the information about its customers and their funds, simply orders a freeze on the entire operation of an exchange. So no one can trade because someone with dirty money did.

Thank you for understanding in advance.
