This exchange went down completely over the past few days with this error message...

... I don't use this exchange but know someone who has some funds stuck there. Does anyone know there's a way to get this recovered? Emailed [email protected] but they didn't reply.

Oh jeez. I'm not saying I buy their excuse but if it is true they have poor cybersec as they seem to not have backups/enough backups.

As for recovering, your friend's coins sits at STEX's wallets hence their hand is needed.

Some suggestions:

1. Try to reach out and follow up thru their other channels - perhaps their social media are still active or you know other email address. Side note: i think it's not a bad idea to send another email to [email protected]
2. Make noise in crypto communities - I would target the popular places first
3. Lawyer up - expensive and complicated. also know that I'm suggesting this without knowing your situation e.g. how much have you lost, where you're from etc.

In any case, whole situation is vague and sus. I've no idea how are they gonna verify information from users... for starters, screenshots can be manipulated... perhaps signed messages from a user's known addresses (judging from their deposit and withdrawals)? but that would require enough user data from STEX.

I wouldn't be surprised if they went, "sorry we can't verify this from the scraps of data we have, it is out of our hands"  Sad

Trying to recover any accesable assets we kindly asking for your help. Please send any related information about your transactions and account to [email protected]. We are sorry for the inconveniences.

Definitely few like a scam. I don't use this exchange but know someone who has some funds stuck there. Does anyone know there's a way to get this recovered? Emailed [email protected] but they didn't reply.

A couple of Google queries found the following information:

This rats from scam-exchange want KYC from me, and stolen my money.
I deposited over 1000 USDT on this scam-exchange without any fucking KYC,
I even recevied withdraw of 195 USDT, without fucking KYC.
Then I bought some Ethereum token - ProVOCO, and price on this asset was been low for a long time.
I waited price up, but VOCO was been delisted.
I did not log-in on exchange for a long time, and when I signed in there,
I saw my VOCO on account balance, but I could not trade this asset.
I did try to withdraw VOCO, and I see there need pay fees for ETH.
I deposited USDT to buy ETH, but I see there is impossible to trade - without fucking KYC!
I wrote an email for support-team, and they said me need to process fucking KYC.
KYC is not anonymous action, crypto created for anonymous, so I disagred with this shit.
After some time of correspondence, I see VOCO was been just dissapeared from my account balance.
It's scam-exchange, with dirty rats, who are stole just $1000, and ask motherfucking KYC, then.
Turn back my fucking $1k, or VOCO, or fuck this scam-exchange - stex.com .

I deposited over $1000 on this exchange, without any KYC, and traded there, and bought some shit-tokens there.
But tokens was been delisted, and I can not withdraw this without KYC. I can not exchange nothing without KYC.
Seems like scam. I do not using binance since 2018, because they disabled trading for users without KYC.
Fuck KYC, it's first alert of scam, because anonymous admins can easy stole last money from known traders.
Turn back my $1000, if stex.com is not a scam-exchange. Contact me PM.

stex.com has a lot of scam accusations most of them recent ones: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/stex.com. They seem to be losing the fear of scamming.  I never used them. Anyone using them currently can be at risk.

I have been registered on stex.com since Stock.Exchange, but haven't traded in the last couple of years. Recently, after receiving a letter about inactivity for a year, I decided to trade again and replenished my altcoin account.

What was my surprise when I could not start trading, and even more - they do not allow me to return them back. Require verification. But when entering coins, they did not require it from me. Moreover, it is written that verification is only "Verification provides advanced opportunities for using the STEX platform (reduces trading fees, the ability to use advanced API methods and simplifies the recovery of a lost 2fa authentication key)" - in this way they mislead customers.

And the very procedure of verification for the Russians looks like a sham. "All submitted documents must have a mandatory English translation." Yes, and notarized. And more photos, videos (well, they don’t ask for medical tests). In general, this is a very complicated and tedious procedure (I mean notary and translation into English).

 Angry

Sorry for google translate.

Hello people,

I just want to warn you about stex that they are a pile of swindlers, what happened to me prove 100% that they are a group of scammers,

Yesterday 29-08-2020 I decided to give stex a trial trade by 10000 Dogecoin
I deposited the coins and offered them to sell at price 29 sat per coin , time was 15:35 pm
The total offered dogecoin to be sold at that time ( including my Dogecoins) was nearly 1 800 000 Dogecoin
and today 30-08-2020 time 19:24 and according to Dogecoin sold coins record based on Trading history, there was more than 4 million sold Dogecoin at price 29 sat !
My simple question is : Why my coins are not sold ? it supposed to be that sell order was excuted since more than 10 hours, but that didn't happen ?
The other question : What are they doing with my coins ?
I sen a detailed E-mail to the support named kate by what happened and I faced her by evidence
again I sent them an E-mail calling them like : Where are you scammers ? why no one of is replying ?
And no answer
People I'm warning you : I swear to you STEX are scammers , and if you want to repeat my trial to check go ahead and check by yourselves
I have warned you
Many thanks

Aah a hater. Yes, learn from it!

I traded without difficulty on HitBTC many years, then suddenly they wrote a KYC email message, so they have my coins stolen (as bittrex before too). We all have to learn from it, you are not the exception.

Very true. I too experienced this shit from Poloniex just after that hack (if you remember). They just started asking me for KYC and even after doing so, they started making false accusations that it's not me and someone else trying to get into my account. I mean what the heck? Even after providing them everything, they just didn't let me get into my account, it was having around BTC0.4 when BTC was $3500. Lost something big but learnt that I should never ever keep any tokens or BTC on any exchange.

extremely fair playing exchange (for me). failing withdraws are reviewed by them automatically, and one day later one can try again (on all other exchanges I have to investigate). They announce the change of their legel terms at the turn of the year, and let users withdraw their funds. This is quite the opposite of a lot of other scam exchanges like bittrex.

After they made their change I recommend them as non anonymous change, an alternative to the nice kraken exchange.
IS UNTIL THEY SCAM YOU , IT IS EXCATLY LIKE YOBIT FULL OF SHITCOINS THAT YOU CANT WITHDRAW TO PRIVATE WALLET , WHY SIMPLY THE REAL BLOCKCHAIN END TOKENS THAT THEY SELL ARE NOT THE SAME .IF YOU LOOSE 2—3k on that shit you will learn !

extreme slow deposit and withdrawal times +hours
I cannot confirm this. I've used them quite a few times to sell mined or staked shitcoins, deposits always arrived fast and withdrawals were close to instant. Maybe I just got lucky with my withdrawals, but my experience does not confirm this at all. Smiley

I have used Stex in the past to trade Absolute (ABS). I never had issues with deposits/withdraws but I never trade large amounts at once on 'shitcoin' exchanges.

Hello, I would like to know if the stex.com is scam. I can not access my account after allowing only one IP (My ISP changed the IP after a local network failure), I contacted the chat support, they requested to contact via email, but so far I have not gotten a response. Chat support only repeats the same message: Send your data via email and ask to disable "Allow Logins via IPs". I'm already out of patience. 3 days and still did not respond to my email.
Sounds like this was your fault? You enabled an option that blocks every IP other than X and you changed your IP (regardless of if it was intentional or was your ISP's fault)... Looks like they are just doing what they have been told to do.

So, you already emailed them with your data and request to disable the IP option? If that's the case, 3 days doesn't seem like a lot of time to call them a scam.

That could be the reason, they have an option like that in your personal dashboard when I'm still in Azart campaign I sold all my coins in that exchange after I verified my account I did not face any hassle depositing, trading and withdrawing my coins. everything is easy and hassle-free.
Support asked me to prove that I am the account owner.
I tried this with my 2FA code and now they are sending a tutroial about using 2FA, and I just want to have access to my account, but I can not have it because I'm blocked by IP. They are sending me the automatic answers, it's the same attendant, and the guy does not look at the history of the conversation?

Is there a possibility that you access it from the IP that you've used that is not yet blocked or use another IP you can try to message them in their other social media channel if you keep receiving the same message, or a telegram channel  I'm sure they have one, most exchange has one.
the stex.com is sure scam first when it was the step token ico they sold themselves stex tokens other that real stex .  The stex token from stex.com use to pay good dividends until one day that the team sold all the stex tokens end disable them before 2 years end until now all the money that was invested in stex is frozen disabled lost! Personally I have make many transactions with them they was always withdraw . Take one other example yobit.exchange is matter of luck if your founds will be withdrawal.are the alt coins that you buy you can withdraw them to your wallet . Why they sell scam fake tokens with only one propose is to steal money
