Anyone who accepts an offer from this exchange please don't make a deposit just to activate the wallet so that you can withdraw coins here, obviously this is a fake exchange that gives BTC when it's all bullshit.
Avoid this kind of thing.

Well, maybe for me it's not foreign to see there are exchanges with offers like this but I'm sure they continue to do this to many people who don't know anything so if anyone becomes a victim it's just their target for now.
Why am I doing this because in the Facebook group there are still many who ask about whether this is legal or not, it means that it is clear that they do not know anything.

Keep in mind never make a deposit from an exchange that provides giveaway codes.

Why would anybody sign up and trade to an exchange which is not on a market aggregator like Coinmarketcap or Coingecko or has an existing thread here, you are greedy if you think that you can withdraw the free balance, they use that trick on gambling where a person will contact you and gives you free bonus and they will you a chance to win but you have to deposit so they can verify your address, sounds to tempting for newbies but you always do your own research you'll know it's a scam.

That's still a mystery in my opinion, either they are looking for an exchange that has a better rate or doesn't have any KYC in them, I mean a lot of people are looking for this kind of exchanges since most established exchanges are already looking towards enforcing KYC.

So they are willing to risk getting scam than follow the top exchange rules, people need to understand that top exchanges are under regulation and they are compliant and part of that compliant are ruling, that they must implement to all their traders, they don't create that because they want to, because it's part of their compliant, new exchange with hidden agenda will give you what you want because they have the intention to scam you.

I find it extremely appalling that fake exchanges tend to scam people through fake giveaways. To be honest, if a newbie visits that fake exchange and inputted the code, he/she would be surprised to see that kind of BTC in his account. But the catch is, they have to deposit 0.01 btc to the account in order to withdraw the amount.
These fake exchanges are truly horrific as they can clearly catch anyone off-guard with this antic.

I applaud you OP for sharing and busting fake exchanges such as this one. If I were a newbie and I encountered this kind of scheme, I would most likely fall into this trap.

It is very easy for newbies to fall in to these types of traps therefore I also applaud the OP for sharing this information. The never ending list of scam websites just continues to grow but along with that so will the number of victims therefore we would try to highlight as many scams as possible in the hope we can prevent more victims.

This is an old school scam attempts, giving away free balance (I believe it is fake) then asking user to deposit a specific amount as a requirement to withdraw the whole balance. Once a user is fooled and made a deposit, he/she will not able to do anything (deposited money gone). Beginners/newbies should be educated, or should do more information once they get an offer like this.

This is an old trick that is known to those who are old in the crypto world, but for scammers it is a widely used scam. In fact, for those who are new to crypto, everything seems real to them, which is why they fall into the trap of such fake websites and fall prey to scams. It is important to expose such fake websites to warn newbies.Because if community members expose scammer's new fake websites through such posts, then crypto users will be able to keep themselves safe.

This is indeed an old trick, but if there are ordinary people who just come to crypto, it will certainly be a trap for them, therefore education must be important, even we have to make people aware of the old tricks, I think with the information published on board Scam Accusations then it will be of little help to him.

Still, if it's an old trick, there will always be victims, that's why we're here to remind them to be careful.

Recently I was sent a DM from someone who gave fake code giveaway info on fake exchanges too, maybe it's already happening but I hope beginners don't be too tempted because they will ask you to deposit first before withdrawing.

Therefore, pay attention if there is a DM promoting this kind of thing, especially with an exchange that is not well known.

I hope to be careful.

I even saw someone in the facebook group asking about this exchange, saying something like "is it true that this exchange gives more BTC just enter the code? is it legal will this exchange still ask for a deposit before withdrawing it, if it is legal then I will make a deposit" more or less a statement like that (but sorry I didn't capture the screen because I forgot)

If the beginner is careless, maybe he has already deposited it and while BTC of that size can't be withdrawn but for them they ask first so many people respond that it's a scam.

I can't imagine because these scamers have spread more widely about their fake exchanges, how worried it will be if beginners deposit 0.1BTC, maybe the scams have caught more people.

Not everyone, if a person has a common sense, they will be able to prevent themselves from becoming a victim of this scam, I mean in this day and age, who's sane person is going to give away their money for free, remember what they say, that if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.

Some beginners may not know how to look for legit exchanges, it is not good to just pick an exchange since on telegram and think it will be a good exchange, I do not access much of social media so I did not even know this kind of fake exchange is existing. People need to be very careful because any money sent to a fake exchange is just gone forever, the scammers are the ones that will have access to the coins while the victim will be scammed and his money will not be returned, but I still wonder how some people can fall for this kind of scam.

I can't recall where exactly but most likely I heard this exchange name somewhere. It would be on Telegram or any other place. It's pretty clear it's a scam, I don't want to call it an exchange since their main concept is to scam people. Those who have at least basic knowledge about cryptocurrency should realize it's a scam site when they see the balance of this exchange.

We should save in our brain that if any site requires us to make a minimum deposit to withdraw funds from there. Then it's a scam simply, doesn't require any further investigation. Thanks, OP for sharing with us.

The date of creating this site is new and therefore I do not think they get any profit.

For the near future maybe they won't get any money, but what if this website goes on longer and scamers keep spreading fake links everywhere? Of course this will become more victims if one of them is allowed to report so that this site is turned off so that people are not easy with instant seduction from the mouth of that bullshit, so this is still dangerous even if a new site is created.

It is difficult to ratify that these people are depositing this amount hoping to get quick profit. Thus, I do not know why these scam methods continue work.
Telegram started became militant with regard to accounts and thus reporting them and this type of scam will be quickly deleted.

This is the display when entering the balance but I tried to register with a random email without doing any confirmation when entering a certain code you will get 0.5976BTC as shown in the picture and if you want to make a withdrawal you have to deposit 0.01BTC first so this is their trick and don't be tempted remember this is a fake exchange.

They spread on telegram and Discord channels.

Do not send money to suspicious exchanges.
