I do not like this exchange and did not know that they have discord. but leaving it aside, why would they offer 0.25 BTC? Can you imagine how much loss they would have? This is something you should think about. always a merchant do Giveaway is because he will have big profit. Normally if it is an exchange they will say: "0.25 BTC Giveaway for people who trade above 1 BTC" ... but when you look for more information you will know that the first prize is 0.25 BTC and second place. 0.1 BTC third is 0.05 BTC and only win the guy who makes a lot of trade. in the end the exchange gets a lot of profit and the Giveaway is just something psychological to get more active clients. I'm explaining this so that in the future people won't be fooling with "Giveaway"

I'm kinda confused. Why did you register at mercatox.media if the message is telling you to register at mercatox.org?
Did they hijack your DNS or did the hyperlink on their original message leads to mercatox.media even if the text is mercatox.org?

The original thread is deleted so I can't confirm it.
