The OP has been updated. All forum members are advised to stay away from anything at all related to serial scammer Dean Nolan and his betking scam website. After taking time out from his previous scams all related to using his betking website as a vehicle to steal from investors, he is back again trying to re-launch (for I think for the 4th time) a new version of betking AND yes he is searching for investors foolish or incompetent enough to send their funds to the serial scammer

OP updated

I might be a little late here but i just wanted to pass my experience with digifinex since i used it for some time. Their Volumes are inflated by bots. They day i came to believe this is when i placed a bid (buy order)

The sell orders would appear on the trade history of the asset on prices even much lower than my bid but my order would never get filled. This went on for 3 days plus until i gave up and decided to withdraw my assets from the platform. This is when i realized that bots were at work because the trade history of the asset portrayed an image that the asset was having good liquidity yet it was not.
The claims that digifinex fakes volumes are very true.

Great work TokenPay was the epic scam wonder still team active 

Thank you Lauda.

VOYA INVESTMENTS

I have not seen this thread before, I am late! Nice work. I will keep watching it and send stuff if it makes sense.

So far I have had no problem with this exchange, from advantages I can say there is no minimum order, liquidity is also okay (where I was trading, I had no problem), and fee for payment only 30,000 sat. All payments so far have been quick and easy. In terms of volume, I think 80% of all exchanges are not real

Thank you for kind words. Many of us are trying to highlight scams as soon as we see them in the hope we can prevent innocent and gullible users fro losing their investments to scammers.

This forum is being used as a tool by scammers to advertise and promote their scams under the guise of "projects" and "businesses" so we have a moral obligation to help each other in order to keep safe.

Hello, Bitum. Hope you are alright.

How long have you been trading at Digifinex? What's your experience there? is there any good and real liquidity on the pairs you are trading besides the inflated volume they show on CMC?

Any negative or possitive things you could mention based on your experience?

Thank you.

Thanks for the warning, I'm trading on digifinex, and this info is very helpful for me. I think there are so many exchanges on the market today that are really suspicious. The best way to trade on old and tested exchanges is to avoid losses

It's so hard to find exchanges with good reputation ans also reasonable fees for small projects to list.
The well known ones like Binance, Kucoin, Etc.. are just too expensive for small self-funded projects, which count with not more than 5 BTC for listing budget for instance.

All the exchanges I have seen offering a listing at around 5BTC, look the same as all this exchanges with super inflated volumes you've been talking about.

It's just so challenging finding a reputable exchange with an also affordable listing fee for small projects.

If you guys know of some exchanges matching the description above that you could recommend, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much "JollyGood" for this great contribution you are providing to users and project owners so we can avoid and escape this scamming exchanges.

As far as we all know whitebit exchange is operated by the same gang associated with coinsbit and p2pb2b.

In the end if you deal with whitebit you are dealing with scammers who could one day turn on your project too. They are going to do what Tradesatoshi did, they will selective scam until they pull off their exit-scam. Their thread in this forums is pumped with sock-puppets and their trading volumes are complete lies. They have fabricated their trading figures purely for the purpose to command approximate $100,000 listing fees by showing prospective investors they are trading USD$ billions on a daily basis yet have paid zero in tax in Estonia.

Both coinsbit and p2pb2b are registered in Estonia too, it is much easier to get a crypto licence that allows FIAT banking in Estonia than say Malta that is why these scammers open exchange after exchange registered in Estonia without even ever stepping foot there. Those exchanges have been set up for the sole purpose of scamming while giving the impression to victims they are a genuine bonafide business.

Anybody dealing with them should be prepared to take the loss when they eventually get scammed. Just because on arm of the business does not have many complaints against it but almost all other parts do have many complaints - it does not mean the business is a good or honest business, on the contrary if a business has for example 100 subsidiaries of which 99 subsidiaries are genuine and trustworthy but just one subsidiary of the business is a scam then it means anybody dealing with them is at risk.

I hope this reply makes it clear you should not be dealing with scammers such as those at whitebit, coinsbit and p2pb2b because they are operated by the same scam team.

As for Diginfinex, for those that choose to trade there they do so at their own risk. Their website/exchange does not give lots of confidence when looking at it.

They might well be a genuine exchange in future but if they inflate their volumes they are not trustworthy. They currently claim to trade over $1 billion every hour and that is an exaggeration too far. I have not been made aware of any selective scamming issues with Digifinex but they are not doing themselves any favours by lying about their trading volumes

Hello, JollyGood. Thank you very much for this extraordinary job you are doing.

I am working for a project and the team is in discussion with Whitebit.com for a token listing.
In some of your previous posts/replies I see you have mentioned Whitebit exchange as to be related to the COINSBIT and P2PB2B owner/scammer. However, I don't see it on this list. I also checked them on "Coingecko" and they have a decent "trust" score and "coinpaprika" flags them as a Estonia regulated exchange.
Just wondering if they are a legit exchange and not related to scamming activities like COINSBIT and P2PB2B.

Also, Any thoughts or experience with Digifinex.com Exchange? They are also doing an offer to the project.

Thank you.
