it got me irked whenever i tried an exchange who had fake volumes.
On my first thought, alright maybe i can sell my coins here since the transaction history is active with a decent amount for each transaction.
Alas, i keep cancelling and put another sell order because my order haven't executed while the transaction history shown the order with lower sell price was executed.

That's the problem, I have experience that also before when I tried to sell my tokens it's hard to sell it at the best price.
What it's showing in the coinmarketcap is different in the actual exchange site.

Fake volumes were usually being done with a silly exchange. Like to what others had stated that they have done it because of money. Yes indeed they are right because many traders will come to trade in the exchange with higher market cap volume not knowing it was fake. Now, who will.benefit with the fake volumes? Of course the exchange because once a trader doing some trades kn the exchange, there are fees needed to procerd with the trade and that fees will goes to the exchange. This is how an exchange will earn.

Enjoys the ignorance of users. Although the cryptocurrency is anonymous, but for exchanges it is necessary to conduct kyc. Then, conducting exchanges, we would know to whom we give our money and from whom it could be received.

The kyc you mentioned is it in the part of the exchange or the users who trade on the exchange, if you talking about the exchange take example from ICO there so many ICO team who conducted kyc but yet ended up as scam and running away with investors found the same thing can happen with scam exchange. In my own opinion any exchange that published fake volume is on the path of becoming scam some day only waiting for the right time.

Only three exchange among all the exchange have accurate volume, and binance is one of them most of them give fake market value and at that end up scamming there users. We all need to be careful about fake exchanges around.

I wonder if manipulation does not contribute to fake volume? Not that I hate Binance but I guess you are overrating Binance by stating it has accurate volume. Are you sure there is no wash trading happening there?

It seems, being shady does not mean it is a scam exchange, unless that exchange took all our deposited money and run away.

Fake volume had been part of any exchange, they cannot control traders that buy their own sell wall, or eating their own buy wall manipulating the volume of their supported coins. It is that, some exchanges do it themselves to attract more depositors, do a conspiracy with certain token getting commission from that activities. It is business, often times things are "settled under the table".

I am alive but in hibernation.

Your purpose is solved even if one legit exchange exist. Even the exchange is legit you should not leave your coins on exchange.

If dubious about exchange then try to do small trades at a time or better do not involve with them.

Because they take advantage on mostly newbies in the market who does not have enough knowledge in crypto yet.
This is happening even before and they are increasing, and the only solution to this I think is the crypto market regulation, which might come soon.

so if one of exchanges has 100k usd trading volume and 5% is real volume how we can buy form this exchange then

Virtually it's almost impossible if you are placing a limit order because the bots will continue trading with itself and leave out your orders. The only way is maybe you do a direct market order. It has ever happened to me on Digifinex and i will never trade from that exchange again. I withdrew all my assets.

Because they take profit and thats what they do. This is not good, but this is how people are sometimes.
We must protect ourselfs with knowledge and experience. Best defence people can learn.

1. There are many fake exchanges just for the purpose of taking user money, you should not use small and newly established exchanges. Only use reputable exchanges and support good customers like Binance, Bittrex ... or use DEX exchanges.

Binance start from a small exchange with terrible support. So those new and small exchange might get big someday but it's always a pain in the ass if you use any exchange that is fairly new.

If you love to 'gamble' with exchange tokens, then you need to take the risk.

There is trouble abrewing

having fake volume doesn't make the exchanges scam, not exactly anyways. because if it did then all of the exchanges would have been considered scmmers. what it does is that it makes them dishonest and although it is bad but still not as bad.

the reason for all that is competition so that they don't seem dead in comparison to other exchanges that do fake volume and give unrealistic numbers.
this is different from actual scam exchanges where the place is made purely to empty the pockets of ttheir victims.

Its really easy money for scammers. They no longer have to put effort into their scams. Cryptocurrency has become their playground and they absolutely love that crypto transactions can't be reversed.

That’s what has moved CoinMarketCap to upgrade it’s requirements towards exchanges, making it mandatory for them to provide shortly live trading and order book information; that is, if they want to be considered in CoinMarketCap’s Adjusted Volume metric and volume-weighted average price calculations (i.e. they are exposed from not being listed here https://exchange-transparency.coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges).

See CoinMarketCap Gives Exchanges 45 Days Deadline to Provide More Data for further details.

Recently, on my local board, a forum member commented that whilst working for a couple of ICOs, the resulting ICOs scanned the exchange market and were offered "promotional packages" to make their altcoin look like it was being traded way over what the reality of it was. That kind of gives us the core answer.

Most of the exchanges do it may be all but don't think we can use the word "scam" no there are scammers yes, for example, Yobit which has ofc. pump and dump groups and the problem of fake volumes are a big problems of our days i think with time users would like to use exchanges which shows only real valume so normal exchanges would avoid from that practice.

2. The exchanges are counterfeiting trading volumes because they want to attract users and increase listing fees for projects that want to be listed on their platform.

So the principle of using an exchange is not to put too much of your assets on it, remember everything that can happen, put your money in a safe place.

You don't. You shouldn't use random exchanges anyway. Stick with the reputable ones like Gemini[1]. If you don't want KYC/AML and you want to gamble with alts, then Binance[2].

AFAIK choosing an exchange is mostly based on volume, so if this fake volume is generated it means new coin owners can also be targeted to list on such sites as its a big factor when wanting to be listed, which maked this an easy way for scammers to cash in.

Another reason could be data harvesting or phishing attempts as most of us traders might want to be with an exchange with high volumes.
