Topic: Cboe-lop.top is A Scam Exchange (Read 76 times)
I didn't click on the link but it's pretty obvious by the name itself that it is impersonating a well-known site. And then I try to run it against virustotal:

Indeed, this is a fake site impersonating the name and reputation of the CBOE platform, whose official website is cboe.com. It is worth noting that even their application, which can be downloaded from their site and is not available on Google Play, contains requested permissions that, once granted by those who downloaded the app, could allow access to important data. Check this [Source].
Additionally, their site does not contain links to social media, and all the information they have published is misleading and false, such as claiming they have +43B in 24-hour trading volume and +30 million registered users, as well as misleading "About Us" information. Therefore, I will now report their domain to have it taken down. Thanks, OP.

It's an obvious scam exchange why? Look at the bottom of the site it said it was "COPYRIGHT © 2017-2024 CBOE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED." but whois tells you differently.
As you can see the domain just registered this year but the information from their site they started in 2017 which is a lie.
Another thing is how can you trust a weird domain name and extension?
The legit site from Cboe design compared to this fake one is different, domain extension and the service offers are different, and the fake one seems focusing on crypto while the legit one is foreign exchange which is very suspicious they are trying to hijack traffic from the legit one to scam them through crypto.

Judging only by the name of exchange, it is obviously a very dubious service. I haven't visited the site, but I certainly wouldn't trust something like that.
However, for scam accusations, a little more precise analysis and more concrete evidence is needed as to why there is a suspicion that it is a scam. Assumptions are not enough for such a thing.
