[SCAM]: Fake OKeX trading website

[TravelMug]

Just be careful of this fake OkeX trading platform, I saw them in the first page of Google a couple of hours ago through Google ads, but it seems I can't replicate it right now when I do search for the term OkeX.

In any case, the website is still alive and running, and it's really hard to see the difference because it was a copy-exact of the real website. Just look at the image side-by-side.

Everything related to scam in my opinion must be on Scam Accusations. I dont think a beginner & help board is the right board for your thread. I hope you can consider transferring the thread to the board of Scam Accusations.

It is appropriate that we all forum users be careful with endless fraud attempts by those who are not responsible. Efforts to scam like this may not be the first and also i am sure this is not the last. It is good if we remind each other so that we can avoid such scam efforts.

OP made a good work, a scam accusation, more exactly. I agree with your advice to move the topic to Scam Accusation board.

However, if OP have intention to make a guide with detail steps to investigate and find scam exchanges (details on how he find that scam exchange), and add more guide steps in OP, the topic can be posted in the Beginners & Help board.
