The site is active and running, but the admin is unresponsive to messages on SimpleX, and the directories have been removed from the homepage. Please be careful, everyone.
i don't know how some directories (3 weeks into elcapo.io scam) still have them listed or not flagged as if nothing happened. it's like they don't care.

https://notokyc.com/review/exchange/el-capo
https://directory.monerodice.pro/?https://elcapo.io
https://monero.forum/directory/el-capo
https://changerella.com/exchangers/elcapo
https://xmr.eco/

i would not trust any of the above listed sites for up-to-date info about anything.

Yes, many duplicate, wannabe directories have been created without support or proper auditing. This is the result. Users should trust only the genuine ones.

Here they often hate on the fact that there are already too many Monitoring sites, but in fact the more Swap sites appear, the more potential Scams there are, so it is good to have more Monitoring Directories too! As can be seen, many of these are not actually interested or do not even notice what actually happens after the listing. So there is no point in hating. With more Swaps there needs to be more Monitoring. We were one of the first to report the El Capo Scam (thanks to xmr.club). Kycnot also reacted quickly, but as you can see there are those (like the above-mentioned) who still mark El Capo as a trusted site. So compare not only in one Directory!

I have a feeling some of the directories are created by scammers to promote some of the scam exchange services. I remember the time bitcoin mixers were popular, scam review sites and directories were also common. What they would do was to lists legitimate services and then throw in their scam mixers as well and unlucky people ended up being victims.

My points is let Monitoring websites be there but better to consider quality over quantity. Whichever Directory continues to list scam services even after the warnings are out should be blacklisted once and for all.

Yes it is really like that, you are absolutely right. Whether a Fake Scam Directory or a Fake Swap, the scheme is identical. The first step is always building trust, the rest is clear Smiley
