Lizex.io - Scammer Stole my 10 ETH on SimpleX

[Skjadoon]

This exchange is a scammer. They stole my 10 ETH on SimpleX. We had multiple transactions on SimpleX, but they have now deleted all the messages. However, deleted messages can still be viewed on SimpleX.

Please be aware that they are scammers !!! I’ll be creating a detailed scam report soon. They have also changed their SimpleX address and created a new one.

I have already shared your Telegram message with the contact I have from Lizex, I will wait for their response since this is the official contact with me. Why had you went with off-site exchange? This only give chance to scammer and we can not deny the possibility of imposters.

[Skjadoon]

They’re not impostors. We had a deal on SimpleX since November 9, and I have all the chat logs. At first, I was using his exchange site and sharing order IDs, but yesterday I just sent his ETH wallet address the one he gave me. Now he’s disappeared. I’m 100% sure it’s him, not an impostor.

They are lying. We had been dealing with them on SimpleX since November 9, and yesterday they scammed me and changed their SimpleX account. This is the same user  he’s a scammer who stole my money. You can check the previous chats; we always did exchanges through the site where I shared order IDs with him. Yesterday, he gave me his wallet address instead. He’s the same scammer, and everything he’s saying now is a lie.

So you traded outside of Lizex.io? And why did you agree to trade directly instead of using the website?

Can you provide your deposit address?

I am still working on the investigations. Seems like over 6 hours from my life has already invested in this LOL The worse thing - for the XMR transactions, he deposited to a given address from SimpleX all the time LOL.

Can you recapture your conversation from the beginning in full, without any cuts? If you're using Android, simply press the volume down+power button, then select "Long screenshot". You can censor your ETH address before uploading.

[AB de Royse777]

Can someone help me how to prove the recipient amount of an XRM transaction from the explorer? For example:
https://monerohash.com/explorer/search?value=024451fe682dce463106e930400f5f740b1850b43b8aed05eb50d096d5bf3054


How do I see this transaction on block explorer showing the XMR amount?
Also I wanted to see the senders address from this too.
 

[rolypoly]

Is that the deposit address?

How do I see this transaction on block explorer showing the XMR amount?

no one can help you with that here as the only people who can see the amount of XMR are the sender and receiver as without the view key or transaction key, you won't be able to decode it. so unless you get your hands on one of those, you won't be able to see the amount.

Also I wanted to see the senders address from this too.

you can't see the senders address on monero.

[logfiles]

Isn't it the whole point of monero?
"Privacy" right? So you are not going to be able to get such information publicly or using those explorers.


OP, how could you decide to use off site transactions? It doesn't make sense to me. It's like trading on Binance, and then you decide to use their telegram support to trade, and yet you are always warned never to do that.

Right now, even if one of Lizex.io's employees went rogue. It's hard to hold them accountable because you decided to use unconventional means to carry out trades.

On our first exchange in his site we had chat via live chat on his site, he offered to go to SimpleX because I had multiple orders processing slowly. We continued many successful exchanges on simpleX until a couple of days ago, when I sent him ETH then he deleted me on SimpleX and disappeared. Now he's claiming the person I spoke with on SimpleX wasn't him. But as you can see from our initial SimpleX conversation, that account confirmed one of my trades was completed using my exact trade ID how could a scammer know that? lizex.io is a scam service; they start with real exchanges to build trust, then they look weakness to scam users.



I already explained and talk long with AB de Royse777
he knows everything.

[RGBTC]

But as you can see from our initial SimpleX conversation, that account confirmed one of my trades was completed using my exact trade ID how could a scammer know that?

Wait, why are there two separate Lizex contacts? Are they both official (Lizex|Support - Support|Lizex)? The last Lizex "support" initiated the conversation offering a permanent deposit address (cmiiw). It's impossible for someone to know the transaction ID on the platform unless they work with Lizex or you've previously published it elsewhere.

I haven't published it elsewhere, only on livechat was know it. The day I found out they had blocked me, I visited their website, checked the contact page, and saw they had a different SimpleX account. I added it, but I haven’t received any response.

Can you provide the Exchange ID for your last transaction (10 ETH) ? I noticed that the deposit address and Exchange ID are sent before the transfer is processed.

This could be due to:

1. platform employee or support team member.
2. contacting support; this could be done by claiming forgot their ID, providing the deposit address or any transaction details.

The platform can help verify whether the deposit address belongs to them or not.

Skjadoon vs Lizex.io
Accusation by Skjadoon: Lizex.io - Scammer Stole my 10 ETH on SimpleX

Change of SimpleX URL
Skjadoon: they changed
Skjadoon: yesterday (link)

Q. How did you know it was yesterday that they changed ?
Skjadoon:  because i used their website link now, and it is different
Q. You noticed it yesterday that it was not the same simpleX link?
Skjadoon: no
Skjadoon: today i seen i scammed
Skjadoon: i try contact on their site
Skjadoon: i click simpleX and see it is different

Skjadoon: it should be today or yesterday (link)

Clearly their is a difference in addressing the SimpleX URL change statement. Read more...

SimpleX URL source

Skjadoon: We had a deal on SimpleX since November 9 (link post)
Skjadoon:  At first, I was using his exchange site and sharing order IDs (link post)

vs

Lizex.io on Telegram with me: No, we have a simplex specified in the contacts, but they didn't write to us (link)
Lizex.io on Telegram with me: We don't make exchanges through simplex (link)

It was necessary to find the source of the simpleX url and Skjadoon failed to provide it. According to Skjadoon, he had the simpleX (claim it's now deleted) from the website support chat. I understand, no one keep a chat log for future unless they feel it was necessary.

The Monero Exchanges

Note there was a permanent Monero Deposit address that was given which is "842K79ESDSUSeys6QNbpJdiM48es1CnymEiaTPgfmSog1Y9SzBeFyWYDDD9fLXSynwFUWLbs3Y4fgTR Mbnhj64WZM3miwp4"
There was also two exchange IDs ffheakw3z3bdw and q10kv4x80q41r provided as the reference of successful exchange.

On site url
https://lizex.io/en/transfer/ffheakw3z3bdw
https://lizex.io/en/transfer/q10kv4x8oq41r

Indicates SimpleX user was aware of the exchange information and once XMR were sent to the given permanent address, the exchanges completed. Please take not that
the XRM were sent to the permanent address but the on site status shows exchange successful with he XMR address given with the on site transaction URL. It indicates SimpleX user was completing the orders.

The cross check
It was time for me to go into cross checking with both sides Skjadoon and official Lizex.io. Skjadoon said he had more transaction information. It was the opportunity to use those information.

The cross check conclusion
In all 4 exchanges here is what happened:
Skjadoon sent xmr to the permanent xmr address given by the SimpleX user. The SimpleX user was completing the orders on site.

Let's answer following questions to make the conclusion:
Q. Can the SimpleX user be the official Lizex.io?
A. Yes. Once xmr received to the permanent xmr address the official Lizex.io was manually updating the on site orders.

Q. Can the SimpleX user be a imposters who was pretending official Lizex.io?
A. Yes. Imposter was receiving the xmr > Immediately he was completing the on site orders by sending xmr > The Lizex.io system was functioning and processing the orders as they were supposed to do > The imposter was updating Skjadoon that he received his orders.

Identify THE SimpleX user
The SimpleX user is still unidentified. We can not deny that the SimpleX user was not official Lizex.io or an imposter or even Skjadoon himself (This can resolve the first xmr exchange).

There is this interesting exchange:
When I asked Skjadoon that "What was the highest amount you traded"? His answer was 58 xmr (https://lizex.io/en/transfer/h692wnje30x5d). It was not a small amount.
Considering it was an imposter - the scammer can take the credit of his patience, He waited and waited until he receives a larger amount.
Considering the SimpleX user was Skjadoon himself - This was a meticulously designed assignment.
Considering the SimpleX user was official Lizex.io - I wonder why would they take 10ETH, maybe Skjadoon made the mistake of not creating the on site order.

Decision
Skjadoon had two different statements when asked about noticing the change of SimpleX URL. This creates a doubt but we give him benefit of the doubt that he can miss the timestamp although it happened only a day before.
Skjadoon could not prove it that the SimpleX chat was conducted with the official Lizex.io
We can not deny that the SimpleX contact was an imposter. Scammers are smarter than we think they are, I have already reported a similar type of scam before.
Skjadoon sent the 10ETH but could not provide (he was not asked, he himself admits that he did not create the on site order) the on site evidence.

Since there are no on site evidences of the 10ETH exchange order, since there are no proof of the SimpleX chat conducted by the official Lizex.io, and considering the entire investigation we can not prove Lizex.io official is/are guilty.
Throughout the investigation Lizex.io official found not guilty until Skjadoon finds concrete evidence of the SimpleX contact that was in contact with Skjadoon was the official Lizex.io SimpleX contact.
The Skjadoon vs Lizex.io case dismissed.

^^^
So, my assumption is correct that "support" (the mysterious user) contacted the OP first, meaning the OP didn't obtain or ever verify the official Lizex's simplex through the website? At this point, I don't think it's proven that Lizex changed the support contact on the official page. The OP only recently realized that the contact they've been chatting with isn't official from the start.

[Skjadoon]

I want to thank everyone who replied, but I understand that I won’t be getting my money back. It was entirely my mistake I trusted these Lizex.io scammers and made an off-site exchange. Honestly, even if I had done it on the site, I believe they would have found another way to steal money and shut it down site. 

It’s my fault for not using a trusted and verified source. Believe it or not, it’s fine now. All I can say is that they are scammers. 

Right now, I’m sure these scammers, Lizex.io, are reading this and thinking they pulled off a nice scam, a clever that no one would notice. But that kind of mindset always leads to failure in the long run, and time will reveal who was truly lying. 

That’s all I have to say. Once again, it was my mistake for trusting Lizex.io scammers it’s nobody else’s fault. I just hope they end up losing far more than what they scammed from me and face the consequences they deserve.
