Recently when I want to read about Bitcoin news, I saw some advertisement of bitcoin exchange, the domain is iokex.com. When I click it that's link. it's okex exchange not ikoex. The interface is really same like the real okex exchange, only difference on the bitcoin price only. I make this thread to inform you guys to stay away from this exchange, check carefully about the domain first before use it. Real : Fake : Real : https://www.okex.com/Domain Name: OKEX.COM Registry Domain ID: 1727521020_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.registrar.amazon.com Registrar URL: http://registrar.amazon.comUpdated Date: 2019-10-29T04:23:08Z Creation Date: 2012-06-15T18:41:04ZRegistry Expiry Date: 2024-06-15T18:41:04Z Registrar: Amazon Registrar, Inc.

Can you specify which Bitcoin news site you've seen this ad? Also, this might be quite farfetched but do you remember if it's a Google AdSense ad or another ad network?

I doubt it's from Google. If you were to check those top news sites like Cointelegraph and Coindesk, they rely on another network. Google's pretty finnicky when it comes to crypto ads.

I don't understand Indonesian Language but a report from @masulum last month makes it seem like at one point the fake domain was on google Ads (I am not sure whether it is till there though)

Yes i see iokex on google ads last month, even last week i still seeing this fake domains on google ads. I don't know whats wrong with my report, since google not deleting this ads, maybe need more support from community to report ads before they are deleting that ads content.

Those rumbling of letters and adding in the midst to make it look like the legit.
Binance has also the same copycat before but it's the letter 'i' that made it different because it's replaced by a different font of the same letter. Visitors must always check the url's properly.

They definitely got stricter, but there still are loopholes that people can abuse to get their scammy ads into Google. While the ads get removed quite quickly, it's safe to assume that their strategy is get-as-much-clicks-before-it-gets-removed. After they get banned, they simply create new Google ads accounts.

Wow nice information to look at on, I believe few investors have already fall into their trap. But rest assured we all will take note over this. Secondly I will also advised traders never to jump into a new Exchange without proper investigation on it.

Those new crypto users maybe who don't check if the site is legit. Scammers will try and try creating those fake sites because they are hoping that one way or another, someone will take their bait. So be careful guys. Now, they are more aggressive as a lot of people are in front of their computers.

If someone does not pay attention to the URL maybe this fake exchange can steal some accounts. It is very obvious that it is fake I guess only newbie will fall into this kind of bad activity. Prevention is better so we need to bookmark important websites like exchanges and wallets to avoid phishing. I also install browser phishing extension like Metacert for safety.

It’s totally fake exchange. So if anybody try to login with the details of real okex exchange might be phished. And the most serious things when this type of exchange links comes through the google ads in the top of first page. So always we should bookmarked the useful links for further usages.

Whenever a publisher gets banned on Google Ads, he or she isn't allowed to create another account or return, just like how this forum treat permanent bans. But how fast Google tracks them is uncertain, as KYC is involved. All I know is that their AI tends to check the ads submitted for approval with some degree of error.

That's really sucks. I saw the same tricks a year ago with MyEtherWallet website. Same web design and just 1/2 word changed from domain name. Lots of people didn't find that tricks and gave scammers their privet key. Rest of the story everyone knows. That's why i always bookmark important websites link always. I don't know how much safe is that but still work for me. And for these kinda situation it's better to enable 2FA verification and always ask for any help in main telegram group chat.

Bookmarking is much more better if you arent really fan on making googles searches because most people who got victimized on this kind of scamming or phishing are to those lazy people who just carelessly clicked on top searched when they do type a certain sites name on that search bar. This had been pretty common wayback when it comes to phishing attempts and if you dont have those keen eyes when it regards to spelling then you'll lose your money. Back in the past, there were lots of Cex.io like exchange site but had been busted and i didnt expect that this kind of method does still exist today in spite this one is already been busted.

This isn't happening just with the okex cryptocurrency exchange. Similar fake sites were into operation for most of the cryptocurrency exchanges that are popular in the market. Every exchange in its homepage gives a description on the same, to bookmark the real URL. This will help the user land into the legitimate exchange and not into the fake exchanges.
With the increasing demand for cryptocurrency there will be more and more ways explored to trap people. It is our responsibility to overcome all this issues and use the right one.

I think with your browser never clear history all your research before because you can lost chance with fake exchange website, every day you use some exchange market and keep on your browser story then never have chance with fake exchange like okex, you have original website like of okex for accessing.

That's the most annoying thing. There is probably nothing wrong with your report. I have also reported dozens and dozens of domains but even when they are clear scam or phishing attempts but nothing gets done by Google which is kind of discouraging. Maybe they consider acting on reports made by a certain minimum number of people
