Google is full of fake exchanges, fake site and fake services. These sites are not only related to cryptocurrencies but are also in Fiat based activists. The irony is that these site do rank on Google SERP. Google does have nay mechanism to identify such sites, they depend on the community to report them. Therefore when ever you come accross such a website then first report them to Google before posting it here or creating a list.

Honestly, it beats me hallow how these friends won't take the time to ask their friends who are more vast in crypto stuff than they are for mentoring or tutoring before venturing into it. They only go to cry to them after they had fallen victims to fraudsters. People should learn to put the horse before the cart and not the other way round. If you know someone has been in a business before you, commonsense will dictate you find out stuff from them before hand, especially if they're your friends and you can easily get relevant information from them.

Quite a lot of people have lost money on scam exchanges, especially new ones, they deposit their funds and the exchange locks it immediately, so they're unable to withdraw/move the funds. Having said that, it's mostly as a result of not taking proper responsibility of your funds, as a crypto user, double check the exchange you're about to use and check how much reputation it has; and if you want to test new exchanges, I've said this quite a couple of times, only deposit a very small amount in it, if you do it that way and the exchange is a fake/scam exchange, you'd have saved yourself a lot of money, as you'll lose only a small sum.

Fake exchanges are very dangerous for crypto investors, especially newbies who are at high risk because they have no knowledge of these fake exchanges. Now scammers create fake exchanges and promote them in various ways so that they can reach more crypto investors in a faster time. I have seen many tempting advertisements of fake exchanges on Google, which is very dangerous for ordinary users.

People who see the greedy offers of such fake exchanges and deposit in those exchanges, they face huge losses. Because once you deposit in these type exchanges, you will never get your money back. Sorry for the loss of your friend. If your friend had known the correct information about the fake exchange in advance, he would not have faced this loss.

Fake exchanges have been operating in different ways since then, disguising and tricking the unwitting users by sneaking in numerous platforms and search engines. You will commonly encounter it in a Google ad, which will make the user redirected to the fake website that urges the trader to sign in their credentials. Thus, we should be extra careful and pay attention when browsing any platform to access an exchange as fraudsters can quickly create an advert in Google to be in the initial result in a simple search of words.

For a newbie like me it is a great help because i got twice scammed in schemes. 1st they will lure you on your 1st and 2nd withdraw but the nxt time you withdraw again they will tell that they have issues and etc. and they will leave you hanging.

Now for sure he learn a lesson to not try any new site which doesn't have reputation yet, we have legit exchange who runs a better promotions like binance so he should stick with it since it's more safe compare to those unknown site who newly join the business. Also thank you for effort for listing them and this one will be a guide for other newbie to avoid this scam fake exchange.

Sorry about your friends experience.
That why enquiries should be made before you make use of an exchange
With the little experience I have had with that I think he got the exchange site from advert online.
That's because the rate of Crypto adverts online is too much
So I will advice we be more careful or stick to your desired exchange not going around looking for new once

Sorry about your friend's experience. But this is a common mistake for some newbies that they're becoming a victim of a fake exchange. How did your friend searched for this fake exchange if we've got many of them legitimate and stable for a long time, yet he still went to the fake exchange? I think he just clicked that ad that's been placed at the top of Google results with the label of 'ad'. How much did your friend lost and deposited onto that fake exchange?
