This is my experience with
www.Lendexcoin.co:
About 24 hours ago I had a chat with LendexCoin support. First I asked them why they moved away my ETH from my web wallet (see point 1 below). I got no answer. He just asked for my user name. I tried to explain that the name does not matter and sent him the TXID, so he could check that, but again only questions about my name (I had thought that I would be traceable and preferred to remain anonymous). After a few minutes write and no answer to my question, I sent him the whole text below with my 13 questions. He did not answer anything and kicked me out of the chat (maybe banned my IP because I couldn’t reach the website with that IP address, after reconnect and new IP I could reach the website again). So I decided to send them an email to support address. I told them if I don’t get any answers within 24 hours, I have to post the text below to warn others. And now, after 24 hours and no answer from LendexCoin, here is my review:
First of all, please do your own research! I don’t say LendexCoin is SCAM (we will see in a few weeks), but there are many points which let me think that… I just report what I found out in my researches (after I already transferred money to the wallet *dumb*). Please, before transferring much money, just try to transfer 0.05ETH and you will see what happens to your money (wait ~30min and follow the outgoing transactions).
I registered for LendexCoin ICO and transferred some ETH to the online wallet. Before that I just watched some videos on youtube and wondered that most people talking about LendexCoin did not say that much about some interesting (negative) facts, which let me think that LendexCoin is not trustworthy. My researches and my thoughts:
1. The most important fact: When you deposit some ETH in the web wallet to get 10% discount, they immediately move away the ETH! So your wallet is empty and you can’t get it back after deposit!!! They don’t just move away the ETH to one other wallet (for example to transfer it later to an exchange), they move it away every 5 minutes to a new wallet, so it is hard to follow the money. I checked my online wallet, after about 100 transactions I found a wallet with more than 100.000 $ (there are a few more addresses with that amount of ETH). 5 minutes later it was moved away again... In one transaction I saw some ETH were moved to a binance wallet (someone wants to sell it. If it turns out that is scam, maybe binance can help to find them)…
I followed some more transactions and noticed this behavior in the wallets: Always 2-3 IN with a big amount of ETH so there is a total of ~100ETH in the wallet. Then they split it in 2 big transactions ~20 to 70ETH (both together about 99ETH) and one smaller transaction < 1ETH. This small transaction goes in most cases to binance or some contracts or stays in a wallet. I have seen at least 10 wallets which does the same… I think there are many many more…
Let’s say LendexCoin ICO will be cancelled or nobody wants to buy LDX with the amount in the web wallet. How can all people get their ETH back? If LendexCoin team generates thousands of transactions, this will result in missing ETH from all the fees…
2. Just check this transaction on etherscan.io to see it: 0x58e93E0c5954beF162c5d97c05b83DA1cF0f53AC (2 big OUTs, 1 small OUT and then OUTs to binance and a contract)
3. There is no information about the team, I did not find any name…
4. There is no „about us“. No address, no phone, just mail. The page „about us“ was commented out, why? (watch the page source code)
5. They write about „why invest in LendexCoin?“ and mention bitcoin and davor (competitor!) and that people got rich when they invested in that coins. Which reputable provider does something like that? You have to tell people why Lendex is good and not just promise huge increases to get rich (25$ in March and 150$ end of the year, why?)
6. There are many spelling mistakes (not very professional, seems like the website has been created quickly)
7. The domain was registered private, why? Just check whois entry…
8. Why did they move the ico start date? Looks like they want to collect some more money in the online wallets (and move it away out of the wallets to pick up the money)…
9. The previous facebook page (
www.facebook.com/LendexCoins) was closed and a new one opened, why?
10. There already is a Lendex ICO from Kazakhstan (just google it). Why they took the same name?
11. There already is a token with the same name LDX (LondonCoin), why they took the same name?
12. I can’t find anything about the coin on bitcointalk, maybe they don’t want the people to get to the bottom?
13. Where can I find some information about the wallet (github, open source?) and the blockchain explorer?
Before I finally published this text, I had again a chat with the support and asked them to correct my review if something is not correct or does not correspond to the truth. And they kicked me out of the chat again, very bad behaviour…
