INDOEX.IO Exchange is SCAM money lost

[Sjoerd1979]

WARNING do not use INDOEX.IO it’s a scam

Wanted to move my funds out of there. Made a withdrawal 18-6 but never received it.

Contacted their support but I haven’t received a reply. Phone number listed doesn’t work. They won’t reply on their what’s app chat. Their Facebook posts doesn’t have a single like or respond. No answer on my Telegram chat as well.

Looks like my 0,5688 BTC withdrawal is gone… They are just thief’s. Wonder how these criminals can be stopped. Any ideas? Looks like they are located in Estonia and London.

If you can provide supporting evidence like the screenshot for pending withdrawal and unanswered queries from their support channels, it'll greatly help giving a better insight of your case. I'll advise you to use the recommended reporting format:

Code:

This is their profile link, which already tagged by several DT, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2652465, it's quite save to say they've ditched the account, though.

And, for a further info, back in 2020 they got couples of accusations as well:
indoex exchange is a scam
indoex.io SCAM & FAKE exchange
Indoex exchange

First to say that I am sorry for your loss, 0,5688 BTC is far from small amount.

The only way to stop them is contacting authorities of Estonia and then providing all the evidence that they scammed you. Since that is much easier said than done, I think that they will operate for quite some time before eventually they do exit scam.

Since they don't have thread here (AFAIK), nothing much we can do here either, like tagging & flagging their account. I doubt that would help either so, at least I hope someone thinking of using Ondoex changes his mind.

you are talking about "international.indoex.io" right? I checked their Twitter(https://twitter.com/Indoex_LTD) it looks like they posted recently. you should try contacting them on their Twitter or on the telegram they have posted on their profile. also, I tried accessing their website but it only shows me a blank page.

it's highly likely that you won't get your money back but I am curious what made you decide to deposit on their exchange site? there are very popular and well-trusted exchange sites to choose from, why choose them?

Well, this is not the first time I am coming across Indoex.io exchange name in the scam accusations. I think I tagged their rep account too at some point. The exchange is real scam if you read the threads of the past scam accusations made by members.

Having 0.5 BTC is a random, unpopular exchange was a very big mistake, let alone keeping it in a centralized exchange. Always DYOR before using a service you don't know about.

That's expensive mistake for believing on unknown exchange, next time OP better to grab the big ones because there are so many scam exchanges which try to get your attention and scam you the same like this at the end of the day. Next time always look after on top tier exchangers like binance,ftx or even okex since this are kinda reliable exchangers which newbie can trust. Thanks for the warning about this exchange also better try to move on since I think you cannot retrieve your money anymore in that exchange.

Yep, this is what they claim on the footer of the website:

IndoEx Global Inc | United Kingdom | Estonia | Company Number: 12029621

Am sure this is just another lie and there is no company, license or anything like that. Just a scam website hosted on the Internet (unless you got this information from somewhere else).
Sorry for your loss OP. I don't know if or how you will get your money back but the least you can do for the moment is to report the website to the domain name registrer (namecheap) so they take it down.

I wouldn't' be so sure that there is no company at all. If you check that company number, you will see that is mentioned in various UK companies register so that company most probably exists. After all, many other scammy exchanges like Yobit or P2PB2B are registered as well and that doesn't really stop them from scamming people, knowing that an average user won't go bother with lawsuits to get their money back.

Contacted them through Telegram. They finally replied. They say my withdrawal is frozen because of a BOT

We discovered your account withdrawal is currently facing a BOT Transaction activation delay due to some error and bug inflation detected on your account, that is the main reason why your withdrawal is not successful and may lead to lost of funds if we don’t removed them or frozen for relatively long time....

I have to send 0.5 eth to an address to release the withdrawal.

The BOT in charge of your account transaction processing requires the adding of 0.5Eth into the BOT rectifying contract address generated from our database linked with your account here in our database system now for the approval processing of your account To be completed within 10 minutes..



Note:​ The requirement of 0.5Eth Will be refundable back into your account automatically after the authentication process have been successfully completed on your account for you to proceed into your account seeing all your funds..

If you say something about a scam they tell you to chose your words wisely. 😳

Sounds like just yet another way to just get you send more money... Dangle that carrot in front of you etc etc...  Fuck that shit mate, run away...

Don't send them even a single Wei. They are proven scammers

At least they revealed something about themselves. Looks like there have been so many victims sending ETH to the address, since the round figures can clearly be seen.

The address links to Okex address for probably converting ETH to USDT, and then they send the USDT back to the address which is then sent to a centralized p2p exchange called Remitano to cash out, perhaps.

If you lost a lot of money, you can actually track those guys with the help of law enforcement, since Remitano requires KYC verification.

at this point just, ignore them. sending them 0.5eth to release your fund is just BS. it would be for the best if you just take the loss. nothing good will come if you continue communicating with them. asking you to send money again just further proves that they are scammers. next time before depositing money on any website, do your research first to avoid being scammed like this.

You are right regarding the social engagement  of the mentioned site. But that doesn't mean that the site is a scam site. To prof you should provide more information so that we can check either you are saying the trust or not. I am honestly saying I have never used that site and I am not a fond of that site. But I cant say a site is scam without any evidence.
