Jud-EX.com - selective scam - Order not found.

[QI2FY]

What happened::
After completing several successful BTC-to-XMR swaps, I initiated another transaction on Jud-EX.com on February 25 for 1.00662 BTC to XMR. I saved the order ID (QI2FY), sent the BTC, and the website initially confirmed the deposit. Unexpectedly, upon refreshing the page, the order status changed to "Order not found." Over a week later, despite multiple emails, I have not received the 200 XMR or a refund of my 1.00662 BTC. Jud-EX claims no record of the order exists, yet blockchain evidence confirms my funds were diverted with a 99.8% fee.

I saw your complaint in the announcement thread. It seems the representative has been active recently but hasn't responded to anything (maybe he doesn't want to). I suggest raising a type 2 flag (guidelines⁽¹⁾) and getting support for the flag through dedicated topic⁽²⁾ by posting links to the active flag and this topic.

I have tagged their profile to warn others. Now please create a flag against their profile as advised so that we can support it. It is more effective in alerting potential victims about their service when they look at their ANN.

I don't think they will really care about their reputation. They will probably just move on to the next domain name, but this will help protect other users who may not know.

wtf OP, why would you send 1 bitcoin to some random ass exchange?
they have not been around for even a month, the domain was registered just 2 weeks ago.



i'm sorry for your loss, but you kind of were asking to get scammed honestly.
man, i hope it's an amount you can afford losing.

Does it make sense to raise 2 flags?
The Bitcoin the OP sent ended up in a Near-Intents hot wallet, which then returned only 2,365,57,356 LTC. I suspect most of the BTC was confiscated, while the other transactions always returned nearly the equal exchange amount.
In their ToS (point 7) and and reiterated in their post, they limit their liability, including confiscation by external party. However, I previously quoted their post stating that they would be liable for small amount confiscation incident and would add this clause to the ToS (which hasn't been added yet). The problem is, they aren't very specific about the small amounts they can handle. That's why I suggested the type2 flag.

Should I believe this accusation? Pretty confusing to me; I'm not sure if it's either a smear campaign or negative marketing. How could a user swap such a big amount with a brand new exchange? One Bitcoin isn't a small amount, and they aren't well reputed on the forum or outside the forum as well. Then how dare you swap this big amount with them?

Please provide more appropriate evidence except transaction hashes. If I were you, then probably I would record a video when swapping 1 Bitcoin with this exchange. But it's true, I won't choose that exchange. Rather, I would exchange on a big exchange or try with a small exchange, though I have to spend more fees. If it's true, then I'm really sorry for your losses. We can't say anything unless the exchange replies here and refunds you.
