By the way, how did you even found about these scammers?
My guess is that someone either contacted him in person via Telegram or a different social media platform and suggested the site and he believed it. Ads and fake reviews can also be options how he found that particular platform. I doubt you can find such scam sites by accident by googling anything bitcoin, crypto, and trading related since SEO would point you to popular exchanges and not freshly created scam platforms. 
Topic: DEX-TRADING.GLOBAL SCAM WARNING (Read 156 times)
I am very new to crypto and figured that was the way of things it sounds funny to me but being a newbie i just did it, but MAJOR lesson learned and yes I should have checked more before doing it. I still feel crypto is the way to go but only using coinbase etc thank you both for your replies
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It’s incredibly frustrating to fall victim to these kinds of scams, especially when you’re new to the world of crypto. Unfortunately, once the funds have been transferred, it can be very difficult to get them back, especially with decentralized platforms. I know it's a hard lesson, but always double-check and do thorough research before making any transactions in the future. We’ve all made mistakes, especially when starting out, and it's important to learn from them and move forward. 
I got curious whether there are other websites connected to dex-trading.global that are using the same UI so I did some reverse imaging and I found this in an article(image below).
the website is already down and if you search cryptocex.global on Google it will show results stating that it is a scam website. anyway, judging the three scam websites they created, once the most recent website they created is down it is only a matter of time before they create another website to scam people again.
Not sure about the article you made reference to, since there is no link (you probably forgot to include it)the website is already down and if you search cryptocex.global on Google it will show results stating that it is a scam website. anyway, judging the three scam websites they created, once the most recent website they created is down it is only a matter of time before they create another website to scam people again.
But there is actually someone who dedicated their time to share some tips on how one can identify this scam sites, unfortunately most of these victims don't even search up those articles. From the articles, you can tell that they have been some dozen similar websites that have been shut down so far

I'm sure there are dozens of these scam sites in search engines and on social media platforms, and they don't just impersonate MEXC but also all the popular CEX platforms. This is exactly what will happen if their scam succeeds on one of the new and cheap domains they have created; they will erase the traces of the scam and move on to another domain to target more victims who will believe they are dealing with the official exchange. Imagine how many of these fraudulent sites appear when you comment on a tweet related to a CEX platform, or when you join a Telegram group or a Discord channel. (is truly disastrous).I advise the OP that if he wants to learn about the details of any exchange in the future, he should do his research and verify it on CoinMarketCap.

I am very new to crypto and figured that was the way of things
That's what they count on, people that are new to crypto and don't know about all the dangers that lie ahead. I still feel crypto is the way to go but only using coinbase etc
Even though Coinbase is one of the most reputable exchanges, using CEX also has its own dangers as once you send the money to thjem, they can do whatever they want with it, meaning making all kind of bullshit reasons to keep your money. By the way, how did you even found about these scammers?
Sorry for your loss, it's a chance for you to learn, ask and do your research before depositing. These scammers are lazy so if you could post the transaction ID we might be able to get some useful information (though the chance is slim)
The site the scammed you is similar to another site I uncovered a few months ago that almost scammed someone else. All those sites are copycats of Mexc Global and are probably owned by the same group of scammers.
Here is my other quoted post.
When you open the site, if you are familiar with MEXC Global, then you will definitely realize that this side is a rip-off of an early version of MEXC. Hell, these scammers are so stupid that they didn't even bother to remove MEXC

As I mentioned those scammers are lazy and stupid I think they use crypto exchange API to receive payments instead of writing the codes themselves or using opensource payment gateway Here is my other quoted post.

Sorry for you loss mate, unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers in the world that we live in. So we must be very careful not to trust anyone with our hard earn money.
Anyway, as you have said, let this be a lesson learned from you end. You can ask the community for advise if let's say what crypto platform you want to put your money with so that we can see if it is legit or not.

Is there a way to even get back some of my money i put in I have pictures and the my account is still active
looking at what logfiles posted, it looks like it is impossible to get that money back. the website is design to scam people. if they contacted you again and asked you to deposit again in order to "unlock" the withdrawal, ignore that message, they will just scam you again.I am curious, what made you decide to deopsit on the website? I feel like with a little bit of research you'd be able to tell that the website is suspicious and should be avoided.
I am so sorry about that, brother. How I wish you made some inquiries from here before sending the money the asked you to pay. I am afraid to tell you that you have been scammed and there is an almost zero chance that you can recover that money unless if you physically know the perpetrators.
